• 100% Honesty -- My life - "Dare" 2

  @Rilthe gave me this challenge

  "a page of 100% honesty,all about your life:)"

  Since this is a writing one, I can actually do this, today. I'll try and keep this short and sweet, though, guys.

   

  Let's see, when my Mom was pregnant with me, about a month before I was born, she was in a serious car accident. Thankfully, we're both still around!   I was born on Jan. 9th, 1987. My mom wanted to name me "Sarah Lee" (haha, I know, right?), but I'm Megan Lee, instead, because my dad decided he finally liked it. For this I'm thankful.

  When I was 4, I had a hernia that required surgery. I can still see my scar from that. I also had 3 imaginary friends named Mocca, Beetee and ButtaButta. seriously, lol. I have an older sister named Stephanie. She's 4 years older than me.

  Since this is honesty about my life, and even though I don't want to bring this up for the millionth time, I was sexually abused for years of my childhood, by my dad. So, when I was 14, I told and he was sent off to prison.

  My mom was a Christian, so we were raised in a Baptist Church and Christian school. From preschool to 10th grade, I went to the Christian school, that was connected to the Church. So, we were there practically every day BUT Saturday, lol. It was like my second home and I'll always be thankful for that. It was a great school, but sadly closed a couple years ago, due to low enrollment and the pastor at the time, forgive me for saying this, was a jerk wad. I won't get into that, but my mom worked at this school for 30 plus years, so....

  My Junior year of High School, our class all dwindled down to 8, I lost all my friends and several teachers left, so I felt really alone and didn't want to go anymore. So, I made the choice to "drop out" and home school myself. At first, my entire family didn't agree and fought with me over it, so a whole semester was me in my room, grounded from everything, super depressed. Eventually, the money that was saved for my Senior trip was spent on getting me set up to do school at home. I finished my junior and senior year in about a year and a half and, technically, graduated before my class.

  I then decided to do a similar program for Psychology and Social Work. I determined that it was not what I wanted to do with myself and couldn't quite figure out what I DID want to do with myself. So, at 19, I met my husband here on xanga. We "dated" for about 4 Months or so before getting married. Not the smartest choice, but yeah, lol.

  

   

  I've been married now for 5 years. My husbands name is Doug and he's currently a home health aide and we live out in Michigan. When we were first married, we lived out in Las Vegas, Nevada. We landed an apartment managing job together. I was so scared when I started working there, but I eventually got good at what I was doing.  We landed the job in Oct. of 2007 and I was 20, at the time. We knew we wanted kids, but weren't really trying or trying to prevent it, either.

  Right after new years of 2008, we went down to CVS to get a prego test, because I was quite certain I was pregnant and had been for a month or two, but he didn't think so, lol. took the test and, sure enough, I was pregnant. So I got pregnant at 20, but gave birth to my daughter at 21. She was born in July of 2008, 6 weeks premature. THe pregnancy was pretty bad and I ended up going into pre-term labor, which meant bed rest and it just wasn't safe anymore, so they delivered her early and she spent 2 weeks in the NICU. She's now a happy, healthy 3 year old girl! Her name is Brianna and I love her to pieces.

  

  (that was taken about 2 weeks before I gave birth)

   

  

  She weighed 4 lbs, 13 oz at birth. I wasn't able to hold her, they just rushed her off to the NICU. It was hard seeing her hooked up to a bunch of things.

  

  her, today, sleeping on the couch, lol. *I'd also like to point out that that is my MOMS couch. It's ugly as... well... you know!*

  So, now, I'm 25 and a stay at home mom to her. I don't plan on having any more kids any time soon, but maybe in the future. I'm open to it. Just not now.

  I like to have fun, I like to be a good friend, I consider myself loyal to those I Love and I love a ton of people. I feel a calling to use the things I've gone through in life to help others. And, I try some of that through this very blog and I'm happy about that. And I look forward to seeing how that grows through the years. I have a lot of fears, a lot of anxiety to work through, but I know it will be worth all the hard work in the end. I believe, despite some tough situations going on in my life right now, that this is going to be a great year and I'm finally growing into myself. If that makes sense. I like the person I'm becoming and I'm happy that I can help others, in any way I can.  God has blessed me richly. I really believe that!
