Just Me

Me!
Who am I? Do I even really know?
And if so for how long have I known?
Here's what I know:

I was born to Charles and Bren.
I was born in a hospital in Jackson, Tn.
I lived in Hartsville, Tn.
There my best friend was Danyell Locke. I recently got in contact with her.
I mostly stayed with Mama Jane and Papa Bear. Not one person told me when she passed away.

I moved to Kingsport, Tn.
My parents divorced. Before they told me my dad took me to McDonald's for breakfast.

I lived with my mom.
We lived in Rogersville, Tn
I had a bike. I wrecked it and busted my lip.

We moved to Knoxville.
My mom remarried. I didn't like it.
I went to Cedar Bluff Intermediate and Middle School. I wore my mom's jacket and shoes to school and got caught because she came to pick me up early to take me to lunch. Needless to say I got no lunch that day.
I met Lora Wilson in middle school. I loved Mrs. Hammontree's class. English

Through various circumstances I went to live back in Kingsport with my dad.
I went to Dobyns-Bennett.
I kissed my first boy on the corner of Dunbar Street.
I liked school. I loved Mrs. Wiseman's classes. Biology and AP Biology.
I graduated. The first class to graduate on a Saturday morning. June 1, 1991 @10 am.
I had my first offical boyfriend. Paul Preston Sensabaugh. We worked at Kodak Eastman Co together.

I went to Memphis State University. Cause it was far away from home.
I had a roommate. I didn't like her. Like wise she didn't like me.
I met Carlos. I liked Carlos.
I finished both semsters and went to stay with Mama Frances for the summer. I love her. I miss her.
I worked at Woolworth's and Lane Bryant.

I went back to college.
I met Donald Watson, II. I should have married him. I loved him...still do.
They called me Little Three Horn, from the movie Land Before Time.

I left MSU for MTSU.
Found out Preston was a cheat.
Meet Chuck. Rebound relationship only lasted a year.

Worked at Tot's Landing. Meet Gia ... she introduced me to Jeffery.
Moved to Cleveland.
Had Zoey. Best part of my life
Went on a job interview. Meet the Millians Family. and Jan
Jan McKinney didn't like me... until she found out I was going to have a baby. She dreamed of having a little brown skinned baby. I was her ticket to forfill her dream.
Felt apart of her family for a few years until Lauren was born then felt like a third wheel. Kinda of a familar story with my life.
Jan aka Nana was responsible for the biggest changing parts of my life... marriage and coming to accept Christ as my personal Savior.

Got into scrapbooking. Worked at local scrapbook store. Meet my BFF... Mani Schmitz
Bought my first house on Whisperwood Trail. signed on Zoey's birthday.

Divorced.... a single mom.

Rode a wild river, went down a bump road, treaded water, felt like I was drowning...but praise God I came out standing up right and stronger.

So who am I?
I am daughter.
I am His daughter.
I am a child.
I am His Child.
I am loved.
I am ... HIS!

That is who I am.
