Hi. {not that I can promise to blog every day in may or anything, but here goes an attempt...}
After 9 {10} months of being preggo, my mama had me in Columbia, SC, at Baptist Hospital, 1237 in the afternoon, on October 3, 1981..
My mom was 20, my dad was 27, I was their first, and my brother followed 4 years later.
Lived in Irmo, SC for my entire teenage life - same house until my Sr year of high school, then my parents moved 5.5 miles away and are still there to this day.
Both of my parents worked. Austin and I went to La Petite Academy until elementary school started.
Graduated high school in 1999. That is when the Prince song, "party like it's 1999" made sense.
Attempted a semester at USC - met a boy and moved away to TN instead.
Got married at 20, divorced at 22.
Moved home, grew up a little more.
Boyfriends.
School.
Work.

Oops. Pregnant.

Defining moment in my life.
My world.
My little heart beat.
My everything.
She stole the show.
{nontraditional - most definitely NOT what I was taught - culmination of a lot of things and circumstances}
God intervened.
Changed Roger's life - full circle.
Changed my life - now living for the "right" reasons.
