In the Beginning

In the beginning there was me....I was born April 3 feels like eons ago....forward to now I have 2 1/2 yrs of college under my belt (I'm pursuing nursing) however I am taking an unwanted break. My grandmother raised my sis (18 months younger) and myself. My mother and father were around however my mom passed 1 1/2 ago R.I.P. and my dad is around (if u call it that). My sis and I were not getting on too well and the end result my grandmother went with the tough love route with me...ie. MOVE OUT!!!!!....Now picture this she raised me very well. I'm well educated bright ect. and I had all intentions of moving out but AFTER I graduated. What was I gonna do???!!! At the time I was working as a live in nanny on the UES which was cool and a whole experience in itself (maybe a story for another day), however rent in NYC was not gonna work off of that salary. Time to find a new job. I started looking in August of last year and by the end of Sept. I had a job (pretty good considering the economy) in telecommunications.

During this time well a little before then in the beginning of last year I met a man we will call Junior. OMG!!!! I was in love...he is tall, bright eyes and has the weirdest laugh,did i mention that he was 10 yrs my senior which i found to be oh so sexy (I'm into older guys).....I just adored him I knew he was gonna be around for a while. So months pass by and I move out of my place and we move into a little basement apartment. Now I have dated other guys before but no one told me that living with one would be such an....experience. It took about 2 months for me to get used to sharing a space with Junior and everything that came along with it. Now the apartment we had was gratefully a roof over our head however by no means was it decent. No matter how hard i tried it would be nothing more than something to look back on a laugh at, but a blessing none the less.
Junior and I were in love I adored him so and I felt like he was a part of me. Of course we wanted better and turned out after some time we were going to start a family. We found a GREAT apartment in the tri-state area still letting me be close to my family and him close to his. (please excuse the out of order with my blog, bare with me while I get used to it). Right before I moved due to "lack of experience" I no longer had my telecommunications job. Now here I am pregnant (about 3 months) moving into a great apartment which of course is more than what we were paying in our old place and I am out of a job. Its so depressing because it seems the closer you get to your goals there is always something that seems to make it that much harder.

One of my goals before my baby is born is to get back in tune with my faith because I know that with out HIM I would not be here today. In the new apartment for maybe 2 weeks or so going on interviews and temp agencies and no result. Then I was checking Craigs list for the umpteenth time along with career builder ect. and I got a call back that sounded promising. Another customer service telecommunications type job. Went in for the intervoew and was hired 2 Days later!!!!! Full time same pay as the last job I had and did I mention it was 5 min drive from where I live. Not that I have MY own car but thanks to Junior's mom for now I can get back and forth. One more minor set back....like 2 weeks in to the new job "economy" issues cause them to put me to part time hours. But I am so grateful that they did not fire me which is something they could of done. Hopefully they will hire me back on a full time basis or i can find a full time job in addition to this one.

OK I think that sums it up to present time....I hope you enjoy the rest......
