Coping with Change

The biggest change that I have experienced this past year was moving out on my own with my fiance. He and I chose to move out the week before I graduated high school, so not only was I doing all the "senior week" activities, I was also trying to work and move into my apartment and make it the way I wanted to because I knew I only had till that Sunday to get everything situated in my apartment because my family was going to want to visit while they were here to see me graduate.
I did get everything done in time, although I am sure I lost a bunch of sleep, but what 18 year old gets the full 8 hours of sleep, right?
So, anyways, I got to spend my whole summer just relaxing in my own place. It was nice, until bills started coming in and I figured out that I had it made living with my parents, all I had was a cell phone and car insurance bills. When I moved out, I now have electric, rent, cable, internet, and those darn credit cards, and a loan payment. However, my fiance and I have made it, experiencing some troubles but we did overcome them and came out on top.
In the first 4 months that I lived on my own I graduated high school, I bought a new car, started college, and got pregnant. Ya, when I think about all that happening in ONLY 4 months I get overwhelmed a bit, but then I start to think, i could not have done ANY of this without an awesome fiance and my family and friends.
I was really excited to purchase my own car, with the help of my fiance. I upgraded from a 1992 Mazda Protege to a 2007 Ford Focus (I'm NOT crazy about fords, but LOVED the price at only $9,999). I miss my green bean ALOT, but I love my new car... haha.
My first FULL time semester I wanted to major in Elementary Education, so I was following the curriculum that was given to me, however, when I got pregnant, my first trimester I spent most of the time in bed because i was SO sick, i had to even quit my job because I missed SO much. I also had to drop all of my classes because I could not keep up, so now, this semester, to stay on track, i decided to go back to major in Early Childhood Education so I could stay caught up.
With all the changes that I have gone through in the past year I have had my friends and family behind me 110% and they are excited to see what I will do in the next year or so. I feel that I have changed mentally and physically for the better and I feel much more mature!!

A little about me!!

Hi! My name is Trilby. I'm a 19 year old Butler Community College student majoring in early childhood education. This will be my second year in college, but my first full time year, and second full time semester. Confusing I know... haha.

I am currently engaged and pregnant with my first child who is due in late April or early May. My fiance and I cannot wait. I am a HUGE family person, I love each and everyone in my family. My two brothers are currently enlisted in the U.S. Army and are both stationed in Iraq. My youngest brother's state side base is in Hawaii, so maybe someday I will get a free trip there from him... haha. My oldest brother just got married before he got deployed and he and his wife are pregnant as well, a week ahead of me to be exact, so I am lucky my big bubby will be home to see his baby sister give birth!! My daddy and mommy are my best friends. I don't know to many people my age that would say that. Ever since I moved out of their house last May we have gotten closer than ever and I hope to continue to get closer.

My Fiance is the best man I have ever met. He spoils me to no end. He doesn't make me work if I don't want to (however, not working is BORING, so I do). He has bought me a NEW 2007 Ford Focus for my High school graduation, a car CD player for my 18th birthday, a laptop for going to college, and numerous other things. However, as spoiled as I may seem, nothing would mean anything without him here.
I have three best friends. Kelsey, Emileigh, and Aaron. Kelsey is engaged and I relate to her is SO many ways, Emileigh and I have been friends since she moved to El Dorado our freshman ear in high school, she than moved to Wichita the spring semester of our Sophomore year, and Aaron is a gay guy, but I cannot help but love the kid. He really opened my eyes to differences people may have and how to accept them. Aaron and I met at the beginning of my sophomore year when we dated for a bit (before he realized he was gay, but it had NOTHING to do with me) he moved to Oklahoma a week before Emileigh so My second semester of my Sophomore year was really hard, but it got easier as soon as I realized they were still my best friends, but the moved.

Now you know a bit about me. If you want to know anything else, don't be afraid to ask!!!
