My Future LifeBy: Courtney DeHaven

Today is the day! We were finally going to

Texas.

My dream is to have the perfect life with my

boyfriend. After graduation, we dreamed of moving to

Texas. We talked about having a family after a few years (I would like to have

a daughter some day.)

So, the day is here. We have graduated and we are going to Texas. My boyfriend decided to join the

Air Force.

We got an apartment together. They called us about it when we were on

our way down there. As soon as we got there, we went and met with the owner to the apartment

and looked at the apartment. We decided that we would take the

apartment because it was a nice place to live.

So, we went to fill out paperwork, then we moved our stuff.

After we got everything moved in, Andrew got a call from his

recruiter. He had to go meet up with his recruiter and everybody for a meeting. Andrew came home

and told me that he might have to leave sooner then we expected for basic training.

Andrew left for eight and a half weeks on June 6th for basic training. While

Andrew was at basic training, I straightened

up the house and unpacked stuff.

When Andrew came back from basic training,

we got married. Ding dong the wedding

bells rang!Then I had to go to the doctor’s and we found out that I was pregnant

with a baby girl.

We decided that we are going to name our daughter Angela.

Andrew had a meeting at

5 p.m. with his recruiter about where he would be placed.

We got Angela registered at Head Start. After we got her registered in

school, we took her to get clothes for

school.

Angela started school, and on her first day she came home and said that she really liked it. We all lived happy together, and

Angela grew up to be as pretty as a

princess.
