September Blog Challenge #1

Describe where or what you come from. The people, the places, and/or the factors that make up who you are.

This one is a bit difficult because everyday I'm still discovering who I am exactly. I can give a description of where I came  from though. ( this is double spacing for some reason and really bugging me. ) 

     I was born on August 2nd 1988 , in Lubbock Texas , to my parents James and Sabra Newberry. I was the second grandchild on my mom's side and first on my dad's side. I'm the oldest in my family.We lived in Texas until we moved. (Obviously) I'm not sure exactly when we moved , but we were in Georgia when my middle sister was born and I was like 3 then. 
     We stayed in Georgia for a while. My youngest sister Colby was born there when I was 7ish. Then at some point we moved back to Texas. It was after my 8th birthday sometime. I remember when they told us we were going to move. I was watching Scooby Doo , and I got SO MAD that they were making me leave my friends. We were also in Georgia when I had to get stitches. That was awesome. 
     Then we spent time in Texas. I remember falling asleep on the bus on the way home from school , and my driver had to take me back to our house. I remember going Ice Skating a lot. We also played in all the houses they were building in our neighborhood. That's also where we got our then puppy. I remember dressing him up and putting him in our dolly strollers. I remember my "friend" pretended to throw up to get out of sleeping over at my house , and my Aunt Shelli found out and let me come sleep over at her house and she did my nails and hair and everything. I'm really thankful that she did that. It made me feel a lot better. 
    Then , of course , we moved again. This wasn't until I was in the 6th grade though. I wasn't mad this time. Mostly I was just sad to leave my friends. We moved back to Georgia and I lived there until I came out to Utah. I went through a pretty wild child patch there , so moving to Utah was actually really good for me. However I think I did most of my growing as a person during that phase of my life. I discovered who I wanted to be. I'm still working on becoming that person , but that's when I learned who I wanted to be. 
      While in Utah , I dated some class A jerks. I did get lucky though and I met my husband , who I knew by the end of the first week we dated was going to be my husband. I told him as much. Even though it terrified him that I was already proclaiming my love to him , he stuck around. Eventually he realized he loved me too , and that we were indeed meant to be together. I was kind of a crazy person and I'm really lucky he stuck around. 

     We got engaged in April of 2011 and were married August 5th of the same year. By December of that year I was pregnant. This was a surprise pregnancy , and I won't lie I cried when I found out. I cried because I knew nobody wanted the baby but me. I thought Gregg was going to be mad , and I just KNEW our parents would be horrified. I told Gregg and he immediately looked up ways to help us financially afford to have a baby. Our parents were worried , but I think for the most part they got over it.
   In September of 2012 I had the scariest labor of my life. Zoe's heart rate kept dropping and I got sent into a Emergency C-Section. To quote my husband "It was just like watching the scarey parts in movies where people are rushed down the hallways of hospitals with nurses all around them. I thought I was going to lose both of you." Yeah , it was bad. Luckily everything turned out okay all things considering. Zoe spent some time in the NICU because she was having trouble breathing on her own. She got better after she pooped and went home with us 4 days later. 
     Here we are a year later. I've got a brilliant , beautiful , one year old daughter . A handsome , strong , brave , and supportive husband. We don't have the perfect life I imagined having as a little girl when I pictured being married , but it's so much better. All in all it's the little thing , and the big things that make up who I am. It's laying down with my daughter and playing peek-a-boo before she goes down for a nap. It's cuddling , talking , and watching TV with my husband in the quiet , early hours of the morning. It's skyping with my parents every week. That's what makes me who I am , and honestly I love it !
