Hello all! My name is Abbey, and this is the story of the journey down my road! I hope you enjoy it.
I just turned 30 years old, and I'm loving every minute of it. We'll be expecting our first bouncing bundle of joy in December. IT'S A GIRL!! We'll be naming her Olivia Marie. Up to this point, I can't complain about my pregnancy. It's been so easy (not to brag). I have the most amazing man in my life, with whom to share this experience, along with life in general. Granted, she shares half of his DNA, but that's not what makes him so wonderful. He makes me laugh. He opens doors for me. He can always make me smile. He supports me, no matter how crazy something is that I might do. We share everything. He makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Together, our life is extraordinary!
Before all of that came into existence, I had a fairly normal, yet boring, life. I grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. I graduated high school in 1997. I explored college, and realized it wasn't what I wanted at the moment. In August 1999 I joined the USAF! LOVED IT! I found my niche. I believe the military is what helped make me who I am today. In June 2003, I was medically retired from the USAF after being diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. I was 1 month shy of completing my initial enlistment. If that hadn't happened, I would have definitely reenlisted. I can say, without a doubt in my mind, I would have been a lifer. Things happen though. Life happens. Instead of dwelling on the things you cannot change, you have a pitty party and begin throwing your life away. Not really, but in a sense, that's sort of what I did. I was out partying all the time and going nowhere. Definitely not taking care of myself for the sake of my condition. One day I woke up and realized what I was doing to myself. I decided to get back on track. After a while of focusing on myself, I was out with a girlfriend, for her birthday, and met the man of my dreams. Since then, I've been living the life I've always wanted and dreamed of. I haven't had to force it, or try to make it happen. It has just occured organically, and I couldn't be happier.
That's me in a nutshell. This blog is a place to share my life, as it happens, after 30. 30 is where I believe life truly begins. Everything else was just trial and error. Learning lessons to prepare me for REAL life.
