Our story
So i was really scared to start writing on here, but i think its time for me to share my story. My sons father and i met when we were 15 and 16. I was really good friends with his younger brother who is the same age and me. Well lets be honest we didn't have that OMG love at first sight at all, it was actually the complete opposite. The first time we saw each other i didn't think id ever see him again thats for sure, but that didn't stop him. Michael tried for a very long time but since he didn't stop i finally gave him the time of day. Once we started dating everything was good for the most part, until one day my mom went to pick him up from work at 16 years old and she took him home to find all of his things on the side of the road ready for the garbage men to come and take it all. My mom was not having that so she picked up all of his things and packed it all up and brought it back to our house, I was at work. Well i come home to him sitting in my room and i look around and see all of his things so i ask whats going on and they tell me what happen and my mom ends with Michael will be staying here, Well her husband didn't agree so therefor Michael was hiding in my room for almost a year! FAST FORWARD 2 YEARS Michael is now 18 I'm 17 and we decided to move out onto our own!!! WE STRUGGLED just like everyone normally does when you're first out on your own, at times we didn't think we would make it. I moved out a few times and went back home, but we always came back to each other. WELLLL here comes SUMMMER OF 2014 and we went to Cedar Point to find out almost every ride i rode made me sick... and for anyone who knows me know I LOVE CP. Well i get home and he gets me a stick to pee on and what do ya know it says I'm not pregnant. Next day i just felt the need to take another one so i did and it came out positive. We were having a baby!!!! 8 Months goes by its the middle of winter and we just bought our first house together as a family. Perfect Picture right?! it wasn't perfect at all.. there were a lot of times during both my pregnancies with issues in our relationship due to trust being broken. After our second son was born i was at a doctors app. and my grandma is driving me home ( i had c-sections with both boys) so i couldn't drive and we get a call from Michael and he's telling me he just signed up for the Army..... WHY. HOW. WHEN. I had so many questions and I didn't agree with living the army life and moving away due to all our problems in our relationship. Well our son was 2 months old... Mike is gone. here i am 20 years old still in Cos. school no job 2 kids and LEFT.. no one to help. That was one of the biggest and hardest times in my life besides motherhood. But you know what I DID IT. I managed to make it work. I GRADUATED, i walked across a stage to get my certificate to look out and see my two handsome perfect little boys. I did it for them, not just myself. Michael came back for the holidays after Basic Training, we said we wanted to get the help we needed to be a family again, since being in the Army we got married December of 2016. Divorced June 2018. We work better Co parenting than together and thats fine. So now i am a single mother again living in our house just the boys and me. There are days i want to give up and there are some days i don't want to end. My boys are now almost 4 and 2 and a half. i just got a job things are starting to look up for us, its been a emotional roller coaster the last few years but i think we are finally getting off. I have my days where i struggle but i know i have two boys who need me, and at the end of the day i need them. On that note I'm going to end it at that and i will continue next time!

Mama Bay!
