I'm quickly nearing 30 - scary! I work at West Midland Family Center. It's definitely an experience. Having grown up in Midland, I knew there were poor people in Midland, and families but I had really no idea. No running water, no heat, no electric, no vehicles, not enough food and lots of issues - domestic violence, illiteracy, drugs and more! Everyday I find myself in awe of how strong people really are in the face of struggles - especially the kids! It makes me cherish what I do have rather than continuously wish for more.
Other than that - I'm happily taken. Casey and I have been together for 3 and a half years. We've truly been through hell and back. We have survived loss, unemployment and more together, but we made it. It definitely changed our relationship, I know it changed me, but I know that he is the one person I can count on for anything. We definitely balance each other. Life's definitely not all roses but I will take a few thorns now and then. I've got a great family and the cutest nephew ever! I've also got a great "in-law" family - can't wait to make them official someday. My "nephew" and " niece" are so adorable. Kyle is my little buddy, I adore him!
So, this is my first try at this, I can't believe how much I've enjoyed just this first entry. I've decided a need to do more for myself and take better care of myself. Sometimes, I try to do too much for others. So here's to me, my life and what the future holds...
