Live & Learn

• Many events in life occur for a reason. Maybe they occur to make you stronger, to test your abilities, or to give you a story to tell. I have been through many tribulations in my life; some of them are seen as nothing in the eyes of others, but to me they were. This passed year I have been put through some of the biggests tests of my entire life, and I am proud to say that I am overcoming them beautifully. Although I am still trying to cope with some things, I give myself a lot of credit for handling my trials and not giving up. First and foremost I am thankful for God giving us strength to pull through. I am also very thankful for the family members and friends who have helped Emmanuel and I during the rough times of our pregnancy. Throughout all of the bad news that was ever received, Emmanuel and I still kept out heads up and we are standing strong today. Everyone who doubted us has been proven wrong. Yes, the way things that were done were highly out of order and unrighteous, but with prayer and forgiveness we know that everything will be okay.
• I am so excited to meet the little baby that has been tumbling around in my tummy. I am excited to begin my life as a mommy and wife. Although I am only 19 years old, I will take full responsibility as a mother and wife. I understand that it is going to be rough and things will seem impossible sometimes, but with God by my side and with Emmanuels help I will overcome my weaknesses and build my strength.
• Our baby will be here late April or the beginning of May... am I scared? Yes. Am I worried? Yes. Do I still feel like I'm still a kid sometimes? Yes. But I am as ready as I can be, and I look forward to being a mommy & a wife.

Love Of My* Life

• Relationships are very beautiful. I am so thankful for the man that I am with. He makes every day better and I cannot stand being away from him. My pregnancy has been so rough on me, and I have lost hope so many times these passed 6 months, but Emmanuel has always been there to pick me back up and let me know that everything will be okay. I know for a fact that I have been a pain in the butt for a while now, but he always cares for me, holds me, calms me down when I get angry... He knows everything about me. I know it sounds cliche, but I really think that he can read my mind sometimes.. He knows what I am thinking when I am quiet, he knows what I am going to say all the time; he reads me so well. I could go on forever and ever about him. I love him with all of my heart and I am so glad that he is the father of my baby. Although the timing of having a baby was very early, I cannot wait to have a family with this man. I have never met someone my entire life who makes me laugh so much. I laugh at things that I would have never laughed at before. He makes me laugh so hard when I want to be angry at him; it's impossible to be mad at him for more than 5 minutes, I promise...
• Many people in my life have not been truly loyal to me. When I first met Emmanuel, I let him know that my heart, my feelings, and my emotions were closing up, again. I told him that it was rare that I cried in front of people because I didn't want anyone to see me in an emotional state. One night Emmanuel and I were talking about loyalty and I broke down in tears. I didn't know that I had been hurting so bad from people not remaining loyal. He held me and made us promise each other that we would never treat each other the way we have been treated by everyone else, that we will always remain loyal to one another, and that nothing will ever break up our friendship. From that day on, I can honestly say that Emmanuel has been my best friend.
• I am so in love with the man that he has become, and Emmanuel has come a very far way. I am proud to be by his side, and proud to be carrying his child. I can never ask for a better man because everything that I need in a man he is... I want to thank the people in his life that came before me for messing up because he wouldn't be with me right now if you hadn't. Emmanuel is the love of my life.. Thank you God for my man..
