**DISCLAIMER: This is the story of how my husband and I met, we were stupid teenagers when we met. I am not proud of the way that I became involved with him but I am SO thankful we got together.**
I began working at McDonalds between my junior and senior years of high school because my horrible parents made me work for my own money. LOL I actually really loved my job and the people I worked with I found a place that I fit in. After I had been working there about six months Nick was hired and my first thought was "Oh great another slacker boy who thinks he knows more than me". When he started working there he was in a relationship with someone else and honestly other than him annoying me constantly I didn't really notice him. In the fall after we had both graduated I for some reason began to look at him differently, he was still in a relationship but I was a DUMB (just ask my parents I mean really stupid teenager) teenager who now decided I saw that as a challenge. I began to flirt and talk to him more and with not much work he showed the same interest in me. After some time of flirting and spending time together he decided to break it off with the girl he was seeing and he moved in with me. Two months after we began seeing each other I saw the pink lines on the stick and knew we were in WAY over our heads. After talking it through and having the dreaded talk with our parents (did I mention my dad was a Pastor??) we decided we would get married. I also told him over and over he didn't have to be married to me to be a good dad to our child he would just look at me and shake his head and look me in the eyes saying how much he loved me.
July 2003 Our beautiful daughter was born.
September 2003 I married the man of my dreams
November 2003 Nick got on a plane and left for basic training
And so we began our journey into Army life.
January 2005 We experienced our first deployment
March 2006 After only being home 2 months Nick says he wants to reclass and blow things up for a living (Side note he has a HUGE smile on his face while telling me this) I had never even heard of EOD.
We also found out we were expecting our second child that month
November 2006 We were blessed with a second beautiful daughter
The rest is just mundane normal moving and adjusting and moving and adjusting.
