Here we go
This is my first blog on here, so I guess I'll start with some introductions and explanations. My name is Jennie and I am a 23 year wife and mother of two. I started this blog to kind of get out my internal noise regarding my new/old roles, responsibilities, observations, struggles, and triumphs in life. The past few years have been a whirlwind of changes. I began a relationship with my now husband, who already had been previously married (military arrangement) and had two children from said marriage, and within a few months we moved in together, got engaged, and became pregnant with our first child. Whilst pregnant with our son, I discovered he was having an affair with his ex and my whole world was turned upside down. I can truly say it was the darkest time in my life. We decided to reconcile after separating for about a month (after which our son was born) and stumbled our way through it for months before we finally got into a healthier space. Fast forward a few more months and we moved into a larger home, became pregnant with our second child (a daughter who is now due in about 4 weeks), and got married. Just retelling the summarized story makes my head spin. You can imagine that, what with being only 23, having all these changes happen on the span of two years, it can be overwhelming at times. New challenges arise everyday, and I am still learning to navigate some of the old ones. But even with the struggles, I am very blessed in life. I have many roles in life that I'm still learning to manage: mother, wife, daughter, sister, young woman, ex-cuckquean, etc. This blog is basically my public accounts and observations while dealing with all said roles. I hope you enjoy, and feel free to give feedback.
