So.. Let's start with the marriage. I was born Rebecca Lee Houghtaling, but on May, 16, 2009 I married my very best friend in the entire world, Ryan David Massengill. We became best friends our senior year of high school and started dating mid-way through our freshman year of college. We had only been dating 3 months before we got engaged and were only engaged for 3 months before we got married. Things happened really fast, but it was one of those situations of when you know, you know. We are very obviously soul-mates. And I fall more and more in love with him everyday. A lot of people said that getting married at 19 was a mistake and that our marriage wouldn't last, but we didn't leave any room for doubt in our relationship. We truly love each other and we're gonna be together until death do us part.
When we got married, we were both had 3 years left of college to go, so we decided we would wait about 5 years before expanding our family and starting to try for children. Well, God had other plans for us. We had been married for about 5 months when we discovered that I was pregnant. We were pretty unstable financially and were completely unprepared for that news, so we kinda freaked out. But as time went on, we began to understand that God had big plans for this child, and we realized that everything was gonna be okay. Ryan decided to take a break from college until after I got my degree, so he could work more hours and improve our financial situation. After I graduate and become a teacher, he will go back to school and complete his degree in electrical engineering. For now, we are preparing to welcome our first child into this world and give her everything we have, which is mostly just a lot of love, but, in my opinion, that's what's really important in this life. Our lil girl, Rylee Love is due on June 26, and we couldn't be more excited about our family's new addition.
Well, now you're mostly caught up and I'm tired of typing, so until next time...
