So, This is Life...

The many adventures Katie finds herself on while juggling school, work, and a personal life as she tries to make something of herself... and so begins her struggle against complete insanity.

At 19, Katie finds herself stepping out into the real world, armed only with a slightly dysfunctional support system and a sense of humor.

Follow her observations on daily life in Hampton Roads as she learns about life through trial and error, quite likely calling her mom for advice all along the way!

Sleepless Nights and New Arrivals...

Dec 07

10:22 PM

Last night, we welcomed little Alexander James into the world.

The entire day (starting at about 3:00 AM) the hospital was full of our family... aunts, uncles, sisters... there are a lot of us, believe me.

I left work early (at around 7:00) so I could be there for the birth, because I knew I could never forgive myself for missing my twin sister's first baby being born. She had to undergo a Cesarean Section, but he's a very healthy boy, 8 pounds and 7 ounces.

As for myself, I'm still adjusting to basing life around a work schedule. I hopefully start school at TCC next month, which is another long-overdue change.

Finally, it feels like I may be starting on my way to actual "adulthood..." exciting, isn't it?
