This is ME.

For the people who wonder who I am and what this blog is about, here is ME.

About Me and My Family
My name Meg I am 19 years old, fiancee of Jon, also 19, and together we are the proud young parents of one Miss Molly Elizabeth. Molly was born March 16, 2008 at 11:44 am. She weighed 7lbs 10ozs and was 20 inches long. She is the center of our worlds and everything we do revolves around her in one way or another, and we wouldn't change our lives for anything.

Our Situation
Jon and I are originally from NW Ohio and that is where we met nearly 3 years ago, November 5, 2005 is when we "officially" started dating. We got engaged December of '06 and found out we were pregnant July 22, 2o08 shortly after graduating high school. It was a shock to us, and it's made our lives harder, but it's also made our lives better. We now live in an 2 bedroom apartment in central Ohio because I am a full time 2nd year student at The Ohio State University. My major is Speech and Hearing Sciences and I plan to continue on to graduate school to become an SLP (speech language pathologist.) Jon is a July '08 graduate of Ohio Technical College in Cleveland, OH. He specializes in Powersports, or small engines such as: ATV's, motorcycles, PWC's, and others of the like. He is currently employed full time at ASK Powersports in Columbus.

My Blog
My reason for starting this blog is, well number one, there are a lot of things I cannot vent with my fiancee about, like HIM! My blog is a way to get all the things I am so angry with him about out while still stroking his ego and leaving his feelings intact. Also, people have a generalized idea about how the single parent/young parent world behaves. It is a negativesterotype that I am here to help crack wide open. YES my daughter's insurance is Medicaid, YES we use food stamps, and YES I am unwed, but in no way does this make me or my fiancee a bad parent. Good parents come in all shapes, sizes, ages, races, or socio economic stratospheres. My daughter is happy, healthy, and most importantly extremely loved. That is all that truly matters to me, and I hope some of you can agree.
