30-5-2009 - Random Blog

My mood while writing this blog: Happy

I am a firm believer in the saying " everything happens for a reason". This blog is basically some background info on how my family came to be.
I met my husband on Myspace in 2005. He messaged me because he was new to Auburn University and saw that I was in the military too, plus apparently he thought I was hot. So we got to talking online for awhile and then realized our apartments were right across the street from each other. He invited me over to watch the Univ. of Miami vs FSU football game since I was from South Florida. We hit it off right away.
Then a lot of things happened all at once. He lost a few buddies in Iraq and me, just getting back from boot camp, didnt want to settle down just yet so we because friends.
A couple months later I started dating an Army guy named Jeremy. It was pretty serious. He was my longest relationship before my husband. Looking back... its funny how opposite these two were. Jeremy is 6ft blond hair blue eyes muscular, but was as dumb as a door. He had the intelligence of an 10 yr old. My 11 yr old brother in law would read texts from him and laugh over all the mispelled words. Dustin is 5'9 muscular build, brown hair and hazel eyes. He did 3 years pre med at Univ. of Georgia before enlisting in the marines, and was now about to graduate with a degree in Bio Chemistry. Jeremy was a great guy though that treated me like I was everything, but after about 10 months I got really bored. Dustin, my husband, and I had been best friends since we met. He was the guy that I would cry to when things didnt go my way. He was always there for me. So when I got bored with jeremy and needed someone to talk to, naturally I went to him. And that's when our affair started.
After I broke up with Jeremey i started dating other guys. One being a friend of Dustins. Naturally it hurt Dustin... a lot. Also that summer, he found out that his ex fiance was pregnant from a one night stand of theirs. I was devastated. But he came to me when he needed someone to talk to. He didnt love her and didnt want to marry her, but wanted the baby. He begged her not to have an abortion, but in the end she did. I knew it crushed him.
Finally in October we both were doing Colorguard for the UF Auburn game and walked home together after. We've been together since then. That Dec Dustin graduated Auburn and commissioned into the Marine Corps. He would be leaving for Virginia in April of 2007. Our thought were to have a paper marriage so I could go with him, and not tell our families. So to help with the transition I invited him to come to FL for my 21st birthday(dec 31). He was supposed to come on the 26, but was so excited he left right after he had christmas with his family and drove all night to be with me. My mom instantly loved him! He was good looking, intelligent, respectful, and very cute!
On new years eve we got hammered. I was so sick the next day, but when the fog cleared I realized that I didnt get my period. I've gotten my period every year on Dec 31 since I was 13. So I went off to get a pregnancy test. Came home, hid in the bathroom and watched as the second line didnt appear. Okay, safe. So i hid the test in my suitcase so my mom wouldnt find it. Well she decided to re pack my things and found it and asked the results... Negative I told her.
On my way back to Auburn I was so excited, because when I got there I would be moving in with Dustin. When I got there i started un packing and found the test. As soon as it hit the light i saw that there was now a faint second line, but maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me. I showed DUstin and he immediatly hugged me. I took the second test and it was positive. I was terrified but so happy.
Four days later on Jan 9th we got married. Two days later I miscarried for the first time. We were devastated, but knew this was for the best.
Then I got pregnant in Feb, and I found out on his birthday. We were again so happy. We were also going to have a real wedding at the end of March. In april 2 days after we moved into our new place in Virgina I began to miscarry again. I was so uspet. I was scared that maybe we couldnt have children.
A couple weeks later i noticed my breasts were really tender, something that only happened to me when I was pregnant. I called my doc and she asked me to come in to have my levels checked. She called me back the next day to tell me I was pregnant... again. I miscarried and conceived all in the same month. My husband and I didnt tell anyone and acted like nothing had happened. I was told that since it was so soon after that the chances of this baby lasting were very slim.
Calli was born Jan 14, 2008. She made everything that we went through worth it. This may sound terrible, but those other pregnancies were bad timing. The first was before we were married and the second was as well. My family would have been very upset with me, which would have killed me, but not changed my mind about our child. Calli was conceived right after our wedding. She is the perfect child and I cant imagine not having her. She is our world.
Thank you so much for reading my long long story, but I had just been thinking about how we came to be here a lot lately and figured I would put it into writing. :o)

What a great story! It's odd, isn't it how life works out? I met my hubby through my ex-husband. They were friends and my ex always pawned me off on him ("call Adrian, I don't want to...") Naturally, I leaned on Adrian as my marriage failed and we just stayed together. If it weren't for one, I wouldn't have the other...and I am so happy. I also have a long history of m/c and while they were devastating, I know what you mean when you say that they weren't at the right time. SO happy for you!!
