New Beginings and Life so Far...

Where to start... Well I am 22 years young and I have been married to my best friend and the love of my life since 10 June 2008. I met my husband when I was only 16 years old and its been an amazing adventure since. He is enlisted in the United States Army as an Infantryman, he has been through one deployment and expecting to deploy again next summer some time. I support my husband and everything he stands for and I support our brave soldiers. I have been an army wife for a little over 2 years now and let me tell you this isnt for the faint hearted. We currently have no children but are wanting to be parents more than anything and are going to start trying as soon as I can lose the 50 pounds I gained since we got married and our last deployment. This isnt going to be an easy journey for me but I want to be a mom and I would do anything to do so. We do have a 7 year old Staffordshire Pit Bull Terrier that we have had since she was 5 weeks old, she is our baby and we love her like she came from us. I miss my family so much, I never thought I would miss my mom as much as I do, we have one of those love/hate relationships where all we do is fight and get on one anothers nerves.lol. My parents have been through a lot and are in pretty poor health anymore. my dad has had diabetes since he was 18 when his brother died, he was diagnosed with kidney failure like back in 1999-2000 and he didnt get any worse where he had to go on dialysis till late 2008. He has been battling to get on the transplant list ever since. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and thankfully they caught it when it was only stage 1 and with a serious round of radiation she went into remission. This December will mark her 5 year mark and I couldnt be happier. I have 2 half sisters but they have always been more like whole sister. My mom was married once before and my sister where from that marriage. My oldest sister is 15 years older than me and my other sister is 13 years older than my. I am the only child my father has had due to a tubal pregnancy my mom had when I was a toddler. My family has been through a lot but I think that it has only made me appreciate them and love them that much more. My life has had a lot of ups and downs and I have gotten quite a few bumps and bruises along the way but its definitely made life exciting and never dull. Honest I wouldnt have changed anything that has happened along the way because it has made me into the woman I am today!
