This is who I am!!!!!

[Barnesmommy]

My name is Rachel and I live in Covington, KY. I am 23 and the proud mommy of 4 awesome kids : ) I had my first child when I was 15, Elijah he will be 8 in March and I really don't know where the time has gone. He has a very unique knowledge of dinosaurs he knows all their scientific names and what they mean. He is by far my most resilient child very strong willed and very intelligent. He is def a ladies man ; )

I had my second child at 18, Raziah pronounced Ruh-zyah different I know. She will be 5 in January and is very prim and proper. She is wise well beyond her years and has her own little views on everything. I constantly have to remind her I am the mommy as she tends to be very bossy with her siblings lol.

I had my third and fourth child at 20 yes twins!!!!! Raziah was only 10 months old when I found out so I had very mixed emotions at first but it has been an amazing experience that I wouldn't trade for the world.... Trinity is 3 and is very soft spoken and polite. She is also very shy and grabs a hold of me any time were in a new setting or around new people : ) Once she warms up to you she wants to be your best friend though. She loves to hang out with me all the time I mean all the time she's right behind me but I like it even though it drives my husband insane.

Then Trenton who is obviously 3 too lol. He is so sweet and cuddly he loves people in general he'll be any ones buddy which is a little scary. He is however a wild child and keeps me on my toes at all times. He admires his older brother and annoys him to death most days. He is very funny keeps us all laughing.

I am married to a wonderful man well he's wonderful most of the time ; ) He is 27 and his name is Matthew. We have been together since I was 17 and were married 7-11-06. He loves getting dirty working on cars and fixing things... He has a huge heart and has raised my oldest son as his own : )

 

I have struggled for years trying to figure out who I am. I was never really a teenager and dropped out of school at a young age so I never experienced high school dropping out my freshman year. I have gone down bad paths, good, paths, heartbreaking ones, and the ever so scary paths and at the end of them the only thing I can find is my husband and children with open arms.  I don't have much of an extended family my mother and I don't know each other well and she isn't the kindest of women. My father isn't my biological father but he's my dad and even with that being said he has a lot of his own struggles in life only his are of a different nature. All of my grandparents are deceased. So who am I? I am a mommy and a wife a loyal dedicated one on a great path that I never plan to stray from again. Know that no matter how young you are or how hard your life is as a mother you are not alone and if you hold on at some point no matter how long it may be you will love your position in life and you will grow and shine as that person you have learned to love I promise!!!!!!!
