So as most people know, after I graduated high school I decided I was not going to follow my family to Georgia but I was going back to Eden, North Carolina where all my friends were. I find it so funny now because seriously who wants to ever move back to Eden once they get out? So while I was out there I made a few bad decisions and my Dad decided it was time for me to come to Georgia. I was in Georgia for a few months but decided I needed to be in Utah so I could be with friends and go to school. My parents agreed that Utah would be a great change of pace for me so off I went.
I moved into an apartment with all the UVU golf players (Yeah never liked golf but I loved all my roommies) and got a boyfriend within a month. Life was good in Utah for a while broke up with the boy, got back together with the boy, fell in love with the boy, fought a lot with the boy, we both tried hard to make it work, moved back to Georgia to give the boy and I space, still fought a lot, ended it with the boy and tried to forget the whole Utah experience except for my golf loving roomie named Whitney my assistant manager turned roomie Jessie my crazy BFF Kristal and my even crazier BFF Hilly!
So there I was back in good ol' souther town of Cumming, Georgia trying to get over the "boy" while working at a Vets office. (I LOVE any and all animals) I soon became friends with Nicole and she decided that it was in my best interest to get out of my house, put on a nice outfit and just have fun. So off I went to the local applebees when Jake walks in the doors! He sits down next to Nicole's husband Chris and starts talking. After a few minutes I tell Nicole that guy is really hott so she tells her husband and it all happened from there. I gave him my number and less than 24 hours later he calls and from that day on we have been attached at the hip.
Kenzie came along a little later. She was quite the surprise. After we found out Jake and I decided it was time for me to move in with him. My pregnancy was a good one. I was only sick for about three weeks I was always tired and my back killed the whole time. I'm sure it killed because my body was not used to caring around the extra 50 pounds I gained but hey I enjoyed being able to eat all the chocolate and coke I wanted. Kenz was due on June 20 and Dr. Lambert told me she was going to be 2 weeks early so I called Carrie (Kenz is named after her) and made her come down because she had to be here for it. One week went by nothing two weeks went by and still nothing. So on the 19 when my child was still just chilling Carrie and I decided it was time for me to get a kitten so we went on Craigs List found the cutest one and seriously drove to Egypt to get her.
On June 24 I was induced and at 2:09pm McKenzie Lynn Corley was born. I felt no pain (USE THE DRUGS!!!) and I can not describe the love you feel when you hold your baby for the first time. She was 7 lbs 4 oz and 21 inches long. Her legs are super long just like mine, perfect to be my little ballet dancer.

I get asked all the time if Jake and I are getting married soon and the answer is I don't know. Things right now are wonderful, we have the best little family of three (four if you count the cat) and we are all so happy. Yes down the road we will but like I tell my Mom all the time I have always dreamed of a summer wedding and last summer I looked like a beached whale and I was not about to get a maternity wedding dress.
So now I have you all caught up on my life, the next posts will be more exciting!!
