Omg, I didn't know FastEddie was the creator of this site. lol. Where have I been? All I know is he's a nice guy cause I've talked to him a couple of times in the chat room. But Thank you Fasteddie for the site, I absolutely LOVE IT, and I have learned SO much from being on here, so when I get my yorkie, I will be 100% prepared!
Now, my turn to tell a little about myself:
My name is Melanie. I am 19 years old. I live in Yuma, Arizona right now, and have been here since December. As most of you know, my husband, Chris, is in the United States Marines. That is the ONLY reason we are here in Yuma... not a place I would pick to live. It's really, really hot here, and there is NOTHING to do! I have lived all over the US, because my dad works for Ford Motor Company. When I was a kid, I hated that we had to move every 1-2 years, but now that I am older, I am glad we did it because I have gotten to meet SO many people and seen a lot of places that I probably wouldn't been able to see if it wasn't for my dad. I was born in West Virginia.. but I have lived in Michigan, Tennessee, Mississippi, Ohio, Florida, California, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. I think that's all. I have been to a lot of other states too.
I met my husband when I was in high school through a mutual friend. We've been together for almost 3 years, and have been married 1 year on August 14th... YAY!! He is everything to me! I love him to death, and even though we are both young, I don't regret marrying him. He will be out of the Marines on November 17, 2008... and even though I am VERY VERY proud of him for what he does, I am counting down the days till he gets out! It is very hard being a military spouse, but I do it for him.
Both of my parents live in Michigan right now. My husbands mom lives in Mississippi (where I met him), and his dad is currently in Iraq (Army).
I have one brother, Jamie. He's 26, and is currently in the Navy. He is one of the few people that I hold close to my heart. Him and I have always been close, and I could never ask for a better brother!
Right now, my husband and I do not have any kids. But we do want to have at least one child before he gets out of the military. I plan to start college soon, so by time my husband gets out of the Marines I will have a degree. I am still unsure of what I want to do with my life. There are several things that I would like to major in, but it's been a hard decision for me. My husband is now working towards his AA in General Studies, then he wants to eventually work up to a Masters Degree. I am very proud of him, because he is one of the most determined, hardworking person I know. I wish I could be more like that!
After we leave Yuma, we plan to move to Kentucky, which is where my parents will be moving also in about 4 months. We plan to buy a house there, and live.
As far as a yorkie goes, my husband and I both decided it would be better to pay off all of ours bills first. We don't want to make a commitment like that, until we are good with money, if ya know what I mean. Which is fine with me because when I do get my furbaby, I want to be able to spoil her (I want a girl) ROTTEN!!! lol.
If I could describe myself in three words they would be: giving, sensitive, and funny.
I enjoy telling people about myself, and my life. And it's also fun to read other peoples history.
That's all folks! Ya'll have a nice night!
