JW and I were High-School sweethearts and got married at the age of 19. He was in the Navy, and after his 4 years were up, he got out and we came back home.
I have my associates degree in Early Childhood Education and I am currently a teachers assistant in a special needs classroom at E.B. Aycock Middle School. Go Jags! This was my first time ever working in a classroom with special needs children, however I was raised around them because my mom worked with them when I was younger and was always bringing different kids home. I have found that I LOVE working with these kids..they are so funny, and so loving, and just plain AMAZING. School gets out in about a week and I will then be working with my Christina..she is the sweetest, most amazing little 10 year old that you will ever meet. She was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, ADHD and other disabilities, but is overcoming them through God's amazing love.
When JW got out of the Navy, he worked at DSM Pharmacuticals, but after a big layoff, he has decided to go back to school and get his degree in Occupational Therapy assistant, and later his OT degree. He is making straight A's and B's and I could not be happier for him, and I am SO proud!
We found out last month that we are expecting our first baby! We had been contemplating when to start trying and when "the time was right" and decided to just throw the pills away and leave it in God's hands...when we did that, I was pregnant a month and a half later! We couldnt be happier, and are SO excited for all of the fun, but stressful, but loving events that are in our future!
We have amazing families that we love very much, and who mean the world to us. Afterall, where would we be without family?
