We lived with Russ parents for the first 9 months we were married. But dont think that we got off easy..We had to pay them $200 a month rent plus 30 on all the utilites..(each) So we weren’t free loading. The main reason we stayed with them was because I didnt want to be on my own with a new baby and a husband I barely knew. So we took this time to get to know each other and his mom babysat so we could go out on “dates” and stuff. I guess you can tell that the main reason we got married was because it was the right thing to do for the baby. And we both will admit this. The first 2 years of marriage were hell. But we managed to get through it and came out on top.
In the beginning of October 1995 we finally had had enough. I took Cody and left. We just couldnt get along and I was tired of it. I went to a friends house and then to my parents house. After being gone only 3 hours I knew this wasnt what I wanted, and I went home. He cried and I cried and we both held each other and Cody close. That was the day we discovered that we did truely love each other and wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.
We had discussed having another baby about a week after this, and we had finally decided that we would rather have just one and spoil him rotten than to have another one. Little did we know..I was already pregnant.
About 2 weeks later I suspected I was pregnant and took a home test with my sister in law being the only other one home with me. I about died when I seen it was 2 lines. I was scared to death to tell Russ cause here he had flat out said NO MORE..It took me 2 days to tell him and when I finally told him, he was a little shocked but ok. At least this time we were married and 22. On our own 2 feet.
