First Post....Ever!

So Im new at this blogging thing so please forgive me if I ramble lol. I've never really kept a journal, and when I did I never knew what to write in it lol. This is my very first blog ever (hence the title) so I will start by giving a little background on myself. Im Jennifer (duh haha) but most folks call me Jen or Jenny. My favorite name is Aunt Jen because my neices and nephew mean the world to me and I love love love being an aunt! I grew up in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. I think the area is okay to visit but I dont want to retire here if you know what I mean... I lived a few years in Appling, Ga and I loved it! I would love to go back someday, I just love the country and everything about it! My then step dad joined the army so we lived in Panama for a couple years too. It was fun and I was pretty stoked to get to have a pool party on my birthday for once... but then we got stationed back in Va and thats where Ive been since 1994. I graduated high school in 1999 and had every intention of going to college, but had to work to pay my bills ( I moved out @ 18) so that was on the back burner. When I was 20 I met this guy and we dated for a couple years til he joined the army and we got married when I was 22. I was in love and naive (sp?) and didnt realize at the time that he only married me for extra money on his paycheck. He deployed 2 times, one for 15 months and one for 12 months, so we never saw each other.... in fact I only saw him 100 days in 3 years! Long story short, he cheated with a girl in his unit and asked for a divorce. It was a really rough time for me and for the first time in my life I was depressed.  The divorce was final in 2005 and he ended up marrying that girl. What a douche.  Fast forward to March 2009. Ive got a good job that Ive had since 2002 and got myself a gym membership cuz I was gonna look out for #1 for once. I wasnt looking for a boyfriend, just wanted to work and work out and focus on my life.  One night while I was at work, I received a text from my ex sis in law (we are still good friends) saying that I have a secret admirer at the gym. I was like "what?" so I told her to get me some info on this guy. She said he was in the army, I said "no, no way dude, Ive been duped by an army guy". She told me to give him a chance and that he was really nice and thought I would like him. That guy was Kevin. Boy was my ex SIL right! Kevin and I had instant chemistry and I found that I really love just being with him. Flash forward to Dec 28th 2009. We are on our way back from Ohio (his hometown) for Christmas weekend, and he starts telling me how much he loves me and he wants to be by my side forever. He asked me to be his wife and I excitedly said "YES!!" We have set a date for June 12th 2010... which is just 22 days away from today! Im so excited and I love him so very much, I really cant wait to be his wife. I never thought I would love this way again after what the ex did to me, but Kevin has given me a reason to love again and for that he is amazing. Sorry for the long sappy story, I love to talk...alot so some of my posts may be long. Kevin pokes fun at me for my talkativeness all the time haha. Bottom line is, Im happy and Im excited to start this new adventure with the love of my life! Hope I didnt bore yall too much!
