I was born two months prematurely on October 10, 1984 in a Worcester, Massachusetts hospital. Shortly after my birth, my mother and father divorced both of whom remarried. I lived in a small town called Brookfield up until the loss of my mother and stepfather to cancer. I was 14 at the time of my mothers death, and although I knew she was gone, it didn't hit me hardly until two years later when my step father died.
I started kindergarden when I was four going on five. I was shy as a kid and didn't talk much, only when I had to. I don't remember much from my childhood, only a few memories remain in my mind.
Junior high and high school came. I went to Tantasqua in Sturbridge, Ma. During those years, I made friends with people who all became friends with each other. I remember at lunch time we would all sit in the back of the cafeteria and all the fun things we would talk about and do.
One of the girls I was friends with, who actually became my best friend through out high school, hooked me up with her boyfriends brother. This was the second man I dated, the first a guy named Ronnie from Worcester who was the son of one of the many guys my sister Cheryl had dated. I dated Jerry, for around six months before one day I just became bored with him. Not that he wasn't a nice guy, but there was really nothing there that could hold the relationship together. And so I broke it off with him. I at the time thought that I loved him, but now looking back on it, it probably was just puppy love and the joy of feeling someone's arms around me.
I had two best friends at the time and both I ended up falling out of friendship with. This was during my senior year of high school. I at by this time could not wait to get out of school, leave all my childhood troubles behind and start a new life with new friends.
When I was 16 I moved in with my sister and her husband who sold my mothers house and the six of us got around $7,000 each. I of course deposited mine in the bank where it still sits today.
I have been living with my sister and her husband for about 8 years now, and it had not been an easy time.
My sister, Michelle, is a very hard person to talk to. If you tell her a problem your having she always answers "well what do you want me to do about it" or if you like something that doesn't suite her "don't read or watch that." I can not count the numerous times when watching television in the living room Michelle coming in and changing the channel on me. I find it sad to say that I get along better with my brother-in-law ,Mike, than my own sister.
For several years now I have wanted to move out of Michelle and Mike's house. Partly because I feel like I'm on egg shells when we are all home and also because I want to be more independant. I know that bills are not a fun thing, but I don't think I would mind them when you think about what you are gaining as a person. You learn about life and responsibility and I want that. To also have my own place would mean that I can cook whatever meals I want, and pretty much do anything that please's me without being asked why I did it. This is why I am partly glad I have a boyfriend with a good job.
My boyfriend, Paul, who is 27, is a plumber. He has started his own plumbing business. So I am very proud of him for I know it isn't easy running the show. Paul, and I met in 2003 through my sister Jennifer. She at the time was looking for someone to date through the internet. She went out with him a couple times, but decided that he was not her type. So, one night Jen, her friend Rachel, and myself were all planning on going to the movies. Jen called up Paul and asked if he would like to join us and he did. That was the first night I met him and I'll never forget it.
For a couple of months after that, my sister, Paul and I went out just driving around. Some how Paul and I would end up holding hands. Oh, did he have nice hands, they were working hands but there was something about them that made me want to wrap up in them.
Eventually, Paul and I started getting together by ourselves. That was after the Ocean City, Maryland vacation my family went on.
During that time, My sister had started seeing that Paul and I liked each other. So, she sent him a text message asking if he did. He said yes and she asked me if I felt the same and told me what he had said. I then sent him a message telling him that I liked him too. I also wrote him a postcard, that he still has, saying that when I get back him and I will have to get together, just the two of us. And boom, it all happened from there. We've been together for almost 5 years and I am in love with him like crazy. I remember my uncle telling me that I would meet someone soon, and shortly after that, came Paul. I can't imagine my life without him and I hope that I will never have to experience it.
I've been in college of and on for about five or six years now. I started in the fall of 2002, right after I graduated high school. I was unsure of what major I would like, so I picked Liberal Arts. I did that for a couple of years until I switched into Criminal Justice.
However, I love history and have become a history major attending one semester at Worcester State and transferring now to Framingham state with a minor of Museum Studies. I also have volunteered at a historical museum called Old Sturbridge Village. I have worked there since Dec. 2005 doing about 4 or 5 hours every Saturday. It is a very interesting place to work and I could go on and on about it till I'm blue in the face.
I worked at an Old Navy for about 4 years until I finally got a full time job at a food brokerage where I am now a Administrative Assistant.
I am currently working on a some what true life story about a single mother trying to raise an autistic daughter after her husband divorces her and pretty much has nothing to with them except for paying the child support every few weeks. Meanwhile after years of being alone she meets a man that is kind and gentle who seems to understand her daughters condition and accepts them both into his heart, and vise versa. They both go through personal struggles as well as events that will test the strength of their relationship and something unexpected happens that will change both their lives forever.
So, there is my life in a nut shell. Nothing spectacular, but full of events in itself.
