Meet The Blogger
So today I am going to help you get to know me, the mom behind the blog.
My name is Jessica and I was born in Nederland Texas in 1977. Yeah, that makes me 32. I have 1 brother and 2 sisters. We are not a close family. I grew up moving around the area a lot attending several different high schools. I was involved in all sports at a young age. I played softball, basket ball and ran track. During high school, I turned to cross country to fulfill my love of running. At 15 I became pregnant with my first child, Lakendra, giving birth to her when I was 16. I was on my own at that age with her dad. I soon found that school was too hard to handle while raising a child and working to take care of her so I dropped out of school. I earned my GED a few years later. I had 2 more children before moving to Missouri when I was 21.
After moving to Missouri I gave birth to my last child, Tevin, when I was 22 and left their dad and moved to Quincy Illinois. In Quincy I met my now husband. In an effort to find me and where I belonged in this world I moved to Springfield Illinois for about a year, then moved back to Quincy Illinois. I always felt my education was inadequate so I enrolled in college. I earned a degree in CIS- Web graphic design in 2005. While in Illinois I was introduced to call centers and worked in several as a manager of campaigns and clients. I decided I needed to move my children back home to southeast Texas.
I moved back to Texas in 2005. My kids adjusted well. Tommie and I married in 2006 and purchased our first home in 2007. Recently I lost my job and became a stay at home mom. I love blogging and the friendships and opportunities that have opened its doors to me.
Ok, after writing that I seem a bit boring. IMO
