Hiya!! Im glad you could make it!! This is A page that is Allll about my family and me.I dont know where to begin. I guess Ill just start here:
My name is Andrea. Most people call me Andi. Actually I prefer to be called Andi. When people say Andrea, I feel like I'm in trouble.*grin* Soo if you ever get in touch with me, please call me Andi.
I grew up in Absecon, New Jersey. For those who dont know where that is, its about 15 miles west of Atlantic City, In southern New Jersey. I lived there all of my life until I moved with my husband to Copperas Cove, Texas.(more about that later)
The story of how I met and fell in love with my husband is quite odd. It started in Middle School. He was in the 8th grade. I was in 7th. We knew each other, in fact a few of my friends had crushes on him. But I refused to even talk to him.
I remember at one school dance, both mine and his friends tried to get us to dance with each other, it didnt happen. I was really shy and didnt like to dance with people i didnt know that well. So I didnt dance with him.
In highschool, it was a different story. My freshman year, we had decided to try the dating thing. It didnt work. He was just breaking up with a girlfriend and I did not want to be the cause of that break up. So we decided to just be friends. Of corse we couldn't help flirting back and forth until the summer of my sophomore year. Thats when we actually began dating.
I was working at a candy store in the mall. at the same time, he was working at a boot store.( which i had no idea about) Anyway, I had been on my lunch break. And I saw him while i was on my way back to the store. We talked for a min or two. He asked if I wanted to go out that night. I said "sure" and that night we went out. We had a great time that night. We were officially "going out" That lasted all of 2 weeks. We never broke up, but just started dating other people.
It got to the point where we both got jealous if the other had a boy/girlfriend. I think we were both subconsiously scheaming to get the other back. It finally worked. On April 3, 1995 we decided to start dating again. And from there we fell in love. Of corse I was only 16, but I think I knew that we would always be together. I couldnt bear the thought of us being apart. And I still can't.
On February 18,1996, our daughter Tayler was Born. I was in my senior year of high school. And only 17. But I did finally graduate. On time too. 2 months out of school, Ed and I got married. That was July 7,1996. Alot of people said that we just got married because of our daughter. That is NOT true. We actually do and did love each other.Then in June of 97, Ed joined the Army. Which really put a strain on things. I was pregnant with our son at the time he went to basic training in Ft Sill, Oklahoma. Luckily he had his AIT training at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, in Maryland. Which was only about a 2 1/2 hour drive from door to door. So I could visit him on weekends. On November 6,1997, our son, Eddie, was born. We couldn't be happier. A month later, We moved to Ft Hood, Texas. I loved it there, but still hated the Army life. In February 1999 we were sent to Schweinfurt Germany. It is very differnt from the states. Its really beautiful here, but i want to go back to Texas. But thankfully my bestest friend and "sissypoo" and her husband (our roomates from Ft. Hood) are going to be in germany next month. I can hardly wait. I still dont like the army life too much, but its growing on me. They are always sending them away somewhere. Right now he is in Kosovo. He left in June and has been gone for 2 months. Hopefully he will be home for christmas. And in time for baby number 3 to be born.
So.. thats me in a nutshell. If there's anything else you want to know. Email me. Ill be glad to answer your questions. I know a popular question is "why did you get married so young?"Well the answer to that one is. I love him. Thats all. No more no less. thats the answer.
