I just wanted to share with everyone who I am and why I started this blog. I am only 19 years old and I graduated high school last year. I married Trey Russell, who was the first real boyfriend I had ever had only seven months after I graduated. I met him when I was 15 but had the biggest crush on him when I was 14 but I never thought he would talk to me because I was so young then! (Trey is three years older than me.) My senior year Trey was living in Australia doing mission work and it was the first big breakup we ever had but we soon started talking while he was there and got back together. When he got home in september we were engaged in October and I had a month to plan and entire wedding which turned out to be absolutely perfect and pretty big. We got married December 5th. I would have much rather had a fall wedding but we had only two weeks after we got married before we moved to Australia! I traveled 24 hours in the air to the other side of the world while I was only 18 and lived for 6 months. We were doing mission work for a non profit organization that was sending health care ships to Papua New Guinea to treat them for malaria and all kinds of other diseases. While I was in Australia I met a close friend and she introduced me to the whole blogging world. It was very inspiring and awesome to see all the young ladies who were engaged and married just as young as me. It was very inspiring and neat to learn about each of you. I want to build relationships with every one of you! And I'm so happy to be apart of this community!
I now and living in Cincinnati, Ohio with my husband and our best-friend Andy in a lovely house in the city. This is a very critical part of my life that I want to share with all of you. I am home and figuring out who I want to be. I plan to travel more (hopefully to India next) And I want to one day settle down and be a Kindergarten teacher in OTR. I recently got employed at a coffee shop and I hope to start taking night classes. Next month I am trying out for a women's roller derby team and later this week I am getting my thigh tattooed. I love children more than anything (besides animals, I'm saving for a pet rat this month) I hope to adopt at least 3 babies and have as many children as the Lord permits me too. I live for God and I put him first before everything I do. If you have any questions for me I would love to hear them..So ask away!
I wanted to share with you in a playlist some of my favorite music right now as well.
Awww. All of this is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you blog :)
I wish I could be much better of a blog follower/commenter.

You two are precious.
Don't take for granted this wonderful time, I always do that in every level of life that I am in. (I'm working on it!)
I am excited to get to know you better!!

Australia is my dream...it will be my honeymoon destination. When it gets closer to my honeymoon, I'll have to ask about some hot spots.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool to find bloggers somewhat near me. I live in southeast Michigan which seems to be a blogger dead zone.
I really enjoyed reading this, so thank you for sharing. You're young...we're the same age actually, but you've already done so many exciting things in your life already, which is very cool:)
