Intros All Around

So my name is Ciara, I'm twenty-two years old. I'm married to Lyle since August of 2009. We have 2 awesome kiddos, Wyatt who is 6 years old and in the 1st grade & Bella who is 2 years old. Lyle is currently stationed in Norfolk, VA after his time here (hopefully) we will be back in Charleston, SC. I do like Norfolk for reasons (more on the medical side) but I do really miss Charleston a lot! 

This blog will be written on many topics and may jump around a lot. Sorry that's my ADD kicking in sometimes. So let's get started.

Lyle just turned twenty-four in December, he loves video games. Halo (1-4), Bioshock, Call of Duty, God of War, Skyrim, you name it he has either played it or wants to lol....
He is really book smart, and has a crazy sense of humor but once you get to know him he's pretty much the life of the party alot of the time. 

Wyatt turned 6 in September, was diagnosed as ADHD at age 3. When we moved to Charleston we found out he could start out in a half-day school cause of his IEP. So now he is in 1st grade and way beyond smart! He was diagnosed ASD (autism spectrum disorder) in October 2012. He loves electronics, computers, iPads, Nook, iPhone, anything really. lol Right now he is addicted to his Nintendo 3DS XL he got for Christmas. He loves his little sister and is very protective of her. Actually he is very protective over alot of people in his life. Strangely he connects to certain people, and thats it. 

Bella turned 2 in September, (yes I know 2 kids in Sept.) She is my little ninja :) She is also Daddy's little girl. Bella is a awesome smart little girl and her laugh and smile will just have you giggling all over. She is also like myself, & Wyatt into electronics. 

Both of my kids teach me new things and how to view things from their eyes. They are amazing whether I'm mad or not and they know how to try and work me over too. I swear they get together sometimes and actually plan this stuff out!

Now about me, I was raised by both my parents in So. IL, I have 2 older brothers & a older sister (none which speak to me nor do I speak to them). I was 15 when I got pregnant with Wyatt and 16 when I had him, making me a sophomore in HS. I was lucky and my parents supported me all the way. 
When Wyatt was about 1 year old I meet Lyle through some "mutual" friends and we became friends in October of 2007 we started dating. We've been together for 5 years and married 3 years. When I was 17 I moved out and tried living on my own, after a few months Lyle moved in with me. At this point I hadn't finished school and I had just wrecked my car and had no job. We ended up moving to a different apartment closer to Lyle's job at that time, since we only had 1 car. I ended up getting a job at Walmart. OMG! I know it was okay but I didm't like it plus they screwed me over on hours a lot! So I got fired and was looking for a new job. About the time Lyle was going to be leaving for BC I got a phone call for a job at a newspaper company working in the mail room. I liked it alot after a while, I eventually was trained to basically run the operation. The week I was going to get married Wyatt had to go to St. Louis and have surgery and I had to be there early so I wouldn't be able to work my shift I called in and got fired for it! I was beyond mad but oh well. Got married that weekend and in October moved to SC. 

Around this time we had been there a month and a half, we went home for Christmas stand down. When we came back I thought it was due to the weather and etc that I was sick. This went on for a while both my mom and Lyle were "joking" saying I was preggo and etc well I broke down and bought a test I took 5 test over a week span and they all said +. 
So I was pregnant with Bella.

After I had Bella I went through hell this was the time they find out that I'm Bipolar, so that has been an everyday battle.

I don't look for pity, I don't hold "pity parties" and I hate when people see me cry. I have learned to be tough and work through it no matter the chaos. Life throws some hard curves but what makes you strong is getting through it and if you have an AWESOME support team that makes the fight all the worth it. 

I love doing things with my friends, reading, watching NBA (Miami Heat) I'm a die hard fan I don't miss a game! If I do and it's to help a friend you know your a true friend then!
I have a BIG heart and that is a good/bad thing. I have helped people and it has came back to bit me in the ass. Others have appreciated what I have done, I don't expect payback I just believe in Karma!

I hope this blog works out and if not well oh well. It's my release and I may not be good at it but I will try hence the word TRY really hard to make it enjoyable!
