When i was 17, i got pregnant with Makenzie (: I lived in California and i was not in a good relationship with my boyfriend at the time. It wasn't right how i was not married to him and what we did together wasn't right either. he didn't treat me well and hurt me a lot. I honestly don't remember a time when 
we were even that 
happy with each other. I remember my dad letting him move in with us when we moved back into town after my mom left for Washington again. Of course with him moving in was not the right thing to do since we were young and both are hearts were not into God first. With that being said things happened and then i got pregnant. I remember calling my dad crying asking if he can bring home a pregnancy test after work. I trusted my dad to help me out without getting upset. when my dad got home i went into the bathroom and took the test and sure enough i was. when i opened the door coming out the bathroom my dad was waiting outside the door and hugged me real tight and said everything was going to be okay. After thinking really hard about my life and where it was headed since i had not finished high school and never got my GED i decided that thinking i can live with my boyfriend forever with no plan at all and him hurting me all the time was not how i wanted my life to end and not how i wanted the baby to be raised either. After i had ended the relationship and told him he has to move out and it wasn't right for us to prolong this relationship anymore he ended up getting real angry. upset that i had chosen a different path for me and the baby and not including him in it. He did things to me after that, that hurt me emotionally and sometimes physically. nothing too bad but still scary. i remember he would always be right outside my window in the middle of the night watching me and my dad would have to go chase him away. or he would always follow us in the car and end up wherever we would. it even got so bad that he would do bad things to others because of his anger. i always got so scared of something bad happening. So i decided i would go up to Washington and live with my mom far from all of this so me and the baby would be safe. He wasn't too happy about that either but it wasn't like i was trying on purposely to keep him away from the baby i just didnt want anger in my life anymore and didnt want the baby to be around that when she was born either. i gave him plenty of chances to change and try to understand that how we were both living wasn't right and he still didn't want too. he just wanted me to do what he wanted and live the way he wanted us too and i didn't feel it was right anymore. when i moved to Washington it was in April of 2010. At that time i was already i think around 13 weeks pregnant. maybe even more since i didn't move to Washington weeks after i found out and i had already seen the doctor saying i was 11 weeks. ANYWAYS, i was around 13 weeks pregnant and i was hoping me being far from him he would want to change for me and makenzie so we can be a family. i even told him if he can get money as in a job he can come up here anytime he wants. And still after calling

me all the time yelling at me over the phone making me cry using every word in the book to make me feel miserable, i just couldnt handle it anymore. He didnt want to try for us at all. He even made it seem like the baby didnt matter to him and thats what i cared more about then about US being back together if he can change his life. So i told him i was done finally and i was going to start a new life here in Washington and  not come back and that we were no longer a couple or even trying to make things work. i felt like i needed to do this for makenzie. Soon after i deleted his number, and shut my phone off i got back into school. i went everyday and worked hard and fast to get my GED . By the end of JUNE 2010 i worked hard enough to get my GED and past the test. After that i worked hard to get my license as well. But ALOT happened in the month of june and still living in Washington. i wanted to get to know God, i wanted to start living my life for him, and wanted my baby to grow up knowing that her mommy was living the way god wanted me too. So i started going to bible study night at my moms husbands sister in-laws house with a lot of people from church that i had no met yet. (: That's when it all began for my new life!
