Introduction to chelsea miracle.

To begin, my name is Chelsea. I am 16 years old I do homeschooling through OCA and I just got my first job at wendy's. I live in Ohio, which I am ecstatic about leaving btw. I don't like to get my hopes up, that only makes it worse when things start crashing down. I'm not thrilled with my living situation at the moment but soon enough I will be in an apartment with my son and my boyfriend and we will be a family.

August 5, 2007; my crush, josh asked me to be his girlfriend. He moved here from Virginia in June 2007 and that's when I met him. He has had a hard life, and I could tell. But he was amazing, beautiful and intelligent; it wasn't long before I was in love. I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him and I wanted to help him become the person he couldn't be before.

December 24, 2007; I found out I was pregnant. 14 years old on Christmas Eve a positive pregnancy test staring at me, to be honest I wasn't shocked. I told josh and he stayed with me and assured me we would get through everything together; my mother wasn't as sure. Understandably she was upset but carrying anger like that for too long can really make me people hate you. She ruined any respect I had for her and she did everything in her power to keep me and josh apart. I figured after the baby was born she'd see what good parents we were and put her disappointments aside.

June 22, 2008 was the greatest day of my life, thus far. My son Evan Alexander Johnson was born, weighing 2lbs 14oz 16.5 inches long; he was 9 weeks premature (31 weeks gestation) He spent a great deal of time in the NICU of Miami Valley Hospital but he is now a healthy one year old, and the progress he has made has been amazing.

Now; I am 16 with a 13 month old son and a 17 year old boyfriend. We aren't' allowed to stay together and we have been working so hard to get our own place and get on our feet, everyday brings us one step closer.

Here is my goal list as of June 2008:
July-Sep (Job)
Oct-Nov (car, drivers ed)
Dec-Jan (apartment, marriage)

I now have a job, I start Tuesday... Which is one thing off the list.

I'll be updating often.
