A Timeline

I have so many events in my life that would not make the best stories. Some of us wrote timelines in class today, I did not, so I thought I would post a brief timeline on my blog. Here goes nothing.

  • When I was three, my mom became diagnosed with fibromyalgia and couldn't stand on her feet for longer than five minutes, if that.
  • When I was five, I wouldn't let a regular dentist into my mouth, and I had to go to a pediatric dentist until I turned 18.
  • When I was six, my first pet died. Her name was Bitty, and she was a beautiful cat.
  • When I was eight, my grandfather passed away on my fathers side. This was the first time I've seen my father cry.
  • When I was ten I broke my wrist when I flipped off of the swings in my front yard
  • When I was eleven, my brother Trevor was diagnosed with Tourette's and OCD.
  • When I was almost twelve, we got our dog Boo-Boo, because my parents thought that it would help with Trevor's diagnosis.
  • When I was thirteen, I wore glasses and braces and I got cyber bullied by some girls that I had considered my best friends just a year before.
  • When I was fourteen, I got contacts for my eyes and I got my braces taken off.
  • When I was fifteen, my cousin got married and all my other cousins got me drunk for the first time.
  • When I was sixteen I decided that I wanted to go to a Tech Center for school, and I made some of the best friends of my entire life.
  • When I was almost seventeen, I met my first love, which was great at first and then took a downward spiral into a physically abusive relationship which I wouldn't admit until it was taken too far.
  • When I was seventeen, I met Kierstan.
  • When I was almost eighteen, Kierstan got pregnant and we became best friends.
  • Two days before my eighteenth birthday, Kierstan gave birth to a baby girl, Ava, who is my god daughter. Kierstan and I move in together.
  • When I was eighteen, Erin became our third best friend, and we were inseparable. I started classes at CCV, went through my party stage, and accidentally stole Erin's boyfriend.
  • When I was nineteen, Erin and I were not friends anymore. Kierstan and I move to a different apartment.
  • A month before my twentieth birthday, Kierstan found out she was pregnant again.
  • Two weeks before my twentieth birthday, I met AJ, who has since made me the happiest I have been in years.  
  • Now, six months from my twenty-first birthday, I am almost done with my degree at CCV, I have a full time job, a loving family, great friends, and couldn't be more satisfied.

I think that there are way too many events to list here, but I hope you get the gist of things. That's all for today folks! :)

  3. Thanks for posting this timeline. I can totally relate about the dentist. I was scared of the regular dentist when I was little too, and I went to the pediatric dentist for as long as I was allowed to go there. :)
