our family started out as me and patrik in November 2007. we met while i was a sophomore in high school. patrik came to the school to bring his brother, kameron, some lunch. i instantly knew i wanted him. i don't know why, but i knew it. after school the next day, i missed the bus and patrik offered to drive me home. he asked for my number and i gave it to him. i thought he would never call. i honestly didn't believe he would. a few weeks later he calls me and asks me if i want to hang out with him and his friends. turns out, he dialed the wrong brittany and didn't mean to call me. but we go out anyways. he comes over to pick me up and meets my parents for the first time. they really like him and we go out. he takes me to meet some of his friends, most of them i knew, he bought me dinner and later on he took me home. on the way back he kissed me. it was a dare from our mutual friend, but he still kissed me and i loved it. it was so perfect and felt so right. i was already falling for him. this was a Friday night. so Monday comes around, we had talked on and off all weekend and we really had a lot in common. he comes back to the school and helps me with some German homework. he then 'officially' asks me out. it was sweet the way he did it. two nights later, we decide to sneak out of the house. (this is 5 days before my 16th birthday and he's already 18). so we sneak out and get pulled over by the cops, he gets to go home, while i'm handcuffed, taken to lock-up, and then taken to the county hospital because they want to make sure i wasn't raped by him. not a fun night at all. my parents were SO mad. anyways. my parents 'forbid' us from ever seeing each other again. so we continue our relationship. it's full of ups and a few downs but we make it through. the following January i left public school and got home schooled. so while my parents were off at work and my sister and brother were at school, patrik would come over and spend the day with me, and take me to work at night. it was great. then on valentines day 2008 my parents decided to give him another chance. we go out on a double date to a really nice restaurant. i still have the empty heart box of chocolate and the card he got me then. my parents liked him again and we were allowed to see each other. my parents told him that night to be careful because i wanted a baby. we still laugh at that to this day, because now I'm pregnant. anyways. we then have a great time, seeing each other everyday living life. having fun. it was perfect. flash forward to November 08, his mom kicks him out of the house, and he comes to live with me and my parents. that worked out great. except my parents got annoyed with him. then he surprised me on December 26th, 2008 and proposed. it was the best night of my life. so we move into our own place in January. by February 09 i graduated. that was nice. we didn't live there very long though because our friends turned out to not be our friends. we then move in with his mom for about a month. after that he finds a great job, we get our own apartment and we are on top of the world. on may 6th, 2009 patrik and i go to wal-mart. i have a feeling that i am pregnant so i go and get some pregnancy tests. patrik's standing by the radios and he's talking about buying one. i didn't tell him i was about to go test. but i went into the bathroom, while he stayed at the radios, and i peed on the stick. it popped positive in about 4 seconds. i screamed i was so happy. i all but RAN back to patrik looked at him and smiled and he sad, "can i have this" as he picked up a radio. i said "i'll get it for you for fathers day" his jaw dropped. he was SO happy. we then bought the radio, and drove back home and told all of our neighbors. that was GREAT. June 12th 2009 i had my first doctor appointment. it went really well, except we couldn't hear a heartbeat. i was devastated. i thought for sure i was miscarrying. June 15th 2009 i saw my little bug for the first time. she was 10 weeks along and looked like a little sea turtle. so beautiful. i felt my little baby for sure the first time on august 15th, 2009. i had felt flutters before but this was the very first strong kick. i loved it. then on august 18th, 2009 i got to see my little bug again. only my little baby had turned into a big baby! they took a guess and said it was a girl. but they weren't sure, i was though. i knew i was having a baby girl. on September 12th, 2009, exactly 3 years after i lost my best friend/grandpa, i had a dream about him playing with her and calling her Kenna Marie. and that name just stuck. i fell in love and i wouldn't change it for anything. on patrik's 20th birthday, September 22nd, 2009, i got to see my baby again! she has my nose! and she is definitely a she. so now i am 32 weeks pregnant with our little girl and i couldn't be more thrilled that i am going to be a mommy and patrik a daddy. we love our little kenna. and she will be the prettiest baby in the world.
i love my family and i wouldn't trade them for the world. brittany&&family:D
