So glad things turned out the way they did

A lot of you know that I was pregnant when I got married. At that time in my life I had some decisions to make. Some weren't easy. I remember some family wanted us to give our baby up for adoption, and ship Josh off to the Army. Which neither of those would have been bad, and would have been great for some people, but we knew that it wasn't for us. I loved kids, we both loved kids, and we loved each other. We knew that no matter what happened that we were going to keep this little precious baby. That wasn't an easy decision considering we had just graduated and we had just turned 18.I think together we were making $10 an hour maybe $12

The other day as I was looking at my oldest son I just wanted to cry.I couldn't have pictured my life with out him in it. I couldn't have asked for a better kid. He is everything I could have wanted and more. As I was looking at him I was so grateful that I didn't listen to family, and we did what we knew was best for us, we got married and we kept our baby.
I would have missed out on so many things, I would have missed out on the awesome relationship that he and I have. He for one is so handsome, but he is so loving, and respectful,he is a hard worker, he protects me when he feels that he needs to. We tease each other all the time. He knows where to draw the line and not push me. He is just a great kid. He has helped me become the mom I am.
My kids are my life. I have a special relationship with each of them. I Cherish each and every one of my kids.
I Cherish my relationship with my husband. He knows life is a little stressful sometimes, I can be crazy from time to time, but from the beginning it's always been him and I. We enjoy our time alone and with our little family.
I have been having a hard time because I am not very close to my siblings, and that is hard it's not how I pictured our lives. I pictured us being best friends. Same with Josh's family. Most the time I feel very left out, and that has to do with being the only sister in law. Josh could care less, because he sees them at work. It's hard when you work for family, because when we do go around the conversation always turns to work. That has been hard for me, So I have distanced myself, and that has only hurt me, and my kids.

The whole reason for that shpill, is I am just grateful for my kids and Josh, and the relationship that we have with each other and with our kids, it is awesome. I hope that it always stays that way.
