I went to Brewer High School in Somerville, Alabama and graduated in 1998. After high school, I went on to Calhoun Community College in Decatur and Huntsville and then onto UNA where I was in the band. I decided to stop going to school for a while until I figure out what I want to major in. That was 6 years ago now….I’m not sure that I will now. I am a fairly new mother of one, happily married and working full time.I met my husband in person in December 2001. We had met online in a chat room and talked for a few years. One night while chatting online, he was talking about meeting up with this other girl he was a friend with. I made the comment that he would never drive all the way up to see me and that was it. Don’t tell him he won’t do something if you don’t want him to do it! By March we were engaged and September 21, 2002 we were married. He likes Nascar, I like music, He liked country and comtemporary Christian and I like more rock, he likes cauliflower and I don’t. There are a lot of ways that we are totally different, but I think that is what makes it work out so well. When we are in the car, we compromise and take turns with the radio and I will cook him cauliflower occasionally. We fit well together. Then, after 4 years, we decided to start a family. In April 2007 I found out I was pregnant. After what seemed like 9 years later, Johnny decided to start his journey to the outside world on January 1, 2008. My little guy was born on January 2 after a long labor that ended in a c-section. Devastated, I did not get to hold my little guy until 12 hours after he came into this world. After he was born, the nurse checked his sugar and it was only 11, far below the point at which they begin to worry. He was rushed to the NICU after a drugged kiss from mommy and the IV’s were started. The first attempt to wean him off the IV and on to formula proved unsuccessful with his sugar crashing again. Back onto the IV, now he knew what it was like to eat, he cried and cried. It broke my heart because this whole time I couldn’t hold him. They wanted him to stay as calm as possible while he wasn’t eating. In the mean time, I was a pumping fool! I managed to get a small store of milk pumped for when he was able to start eating again. Finally, they were ready to attempt to wean him off the IV again. This time, success! The breast milk must have been what he needed and we were able to finally take him home on January 9th! My child is my little beam of sunlight that brightens my day after work. I work full time at a bank as a teller and I think I am happy being low on the totem poll. When it all comes tumbling down, I am already at the bottom. I love to cook, listen to/ play music and go to the beach.
