My very first blog! How I got to where I am...

Well, here we go... My name is Alayna Mae Boggs, soon to be Gillispie. So how did I get here today?

It all started back on June 26, 1990. Lisa Lind and Alan Boggs had a little girl about 2 months early. She was the most adorable thing in the world! Taking it too far? Okay, okay, according to them I was :) From then on I would say I had a pretty normal life. I grew up in Burien, Wa, playing hide 'n seek with the neighbor kids, and having lemonade stands. I had an older brother and two younger sisters but I was the "good one." Up until my senior year of high school that is. I always had the best grades and did the right thing, but for some reason I decided to "give up." Skipping school, smoking, sneaking out and not coming home whenever I had the chance. But all of my mistakes got me here.
June 26, 2008-I turned 18 and went to the casino with my parents. I sat down at the poker table and next to me sat a very hot guy wearing a hat with about $600 in front of him (which was a lot of the money on the  table.) He left about 10 min after we got there and I forgot about him. About a week or so later, I was hanging with some guys and when I went home the hot guy from the casino was sitting on my couch! I guess he was an electrician and was going to do some work for my dad. He ended up going to dinner with us and a few weeks later asked me on a date. Oh yeah and his name was Will. We went on a date but we hardly talked. You know those awkward first dates at the movies? We started texting everyday and went on another date a couple of weeks later. Its our second date and we went to a party. I would like to tell you I waited a long time before doing anything with him, but then I would be lying. I know what you are all thinking! *omg!* We had left the party and went back to his place. We hung out lots after that.

Fast forward to September 7, 2008. I am having bad heart pains and my dad took me to the hospital around 3am. This is where I find out everything with my heart is normal, buttttt... I bet you can all guess what I am going to say. I find out I am pregnant! I cried and cried. I had no idea how things would turn out since I had only known him a few months. I call to tell him at 4am. I couldn't wait! Over the next few days I decide that i will be keeping the baby no matter what happens between us. Over the course of the pregnancy we got to know each other. On Halloween 2008 we are talking on the phone because he was out of town and he said he loved me.

May 27, 2009 I went in labor with our child. On the 28th a beautiful baby girl was born. We named her Alesyia Mae. She was the most amazing thing in the world. I was still 18 but had given up so much for her and would never take it back. Will loved her more than I had imagined and we got our own place shortly after she was born. In December Will found a fixer house that he wanted to buy. Soo, even though I thought it was a bad idea... HE BOUGHT IT!

March 15, 2010. Will proposed to me. I totally messed it up though! He was planning on asking me the next day but I saw a big square in his box. I kept asking him what it was but he wouldn't tell me. I didn't have any idea it was a ring since a few months back he said he never really wanted to get married. I later learned that when he said it was when he decided he wanted to marry me but wanted to throw me off...

Now we still aren't married, since life has gotten in the way. In January 2011 we found out we were expecting again and due in September. We were not trying, but we are now happier than ever. Her name will be Clara Elizabeth. As I mentioned before, Will bought that house wayyyy back in Dec 09. We have just recently been able to move in. The entire house isn't finished but is being worked on as we live here. Our amazing daughter Alesyia just had her 2nd birthday.

This is definitely not the life I expected, but I do not regret one thing about it. It has turned out to be the better than I had ever imagined.

This blog will talk mostly about ourselves and our two children. I hope you keep interested in our life and return to learn more about us!
