A Girl Named Kristina

Okay, I know.. I’m like two days late, but oh well. I really wanted to do this first one at least, after reading all of y’all’s amazing stories of your lives. I duno, I just really love hearing about it, so here’s my bit about me in 250 word (probably will end up being more, I’m long winded). Oh, and I'm putting a million pictures on here because I like old pictures, tehe. 

First day of kindergarten, I think. Sorry, I have no little baby photos of me on the computer I'm using right now. 

I was born in Waco, Texas, to a mother I probably won’t ever know, on misty day in late January. I was left on the doorstep of a Baylor law student’s apartment in a basket with a blanket and a note. I didn’t have a name, so the nurses at the hospital named me Misty Grace. A few weeks later, my parents adopted me and changed my name to Kristina Nicole (thank goodness). I grew up a happy child, and even though some periods in my life weren’t exactly perfect by any means, I made it through. I met my best friends I have now when I was in elementary school, and they’ve been there for me ever since. I played sports my entire life, but volleyball was my true passion and I miss it every single day.  I was one of those kids who was involved in literally everything you could be involved in during high school.. sports, band, student council, volunteer this and that, I even had an extremely short stent in cheerleading, and I don’t think I ever made a B – not the case now, I can assure you, haha. 

Oh marching band, how I do not miss thee. 

I met a tall boy named Curtis when I was in the ninth grade, we fell in love a short while later, had some rough patches when he left for college two years before me, but then everything was pretty much perfect once I got to Texas A&M in the fall of 2010. Curt and I adopted our two beagles within a year of each other, and we were really happy. Curtis was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease in 2011, and pretty much laid on the ground for a year. It was rough, but he knew he wanted to marry me when I didn’t waiver from his side for a moment. So, we got engaged on July 27, 2012, and we’re getting married in 15 days. 

On May 18^th, I begin a brand new chapter of my life, and I cannot wait. 

PS. I'm taking a slight break until finals are over, then I'll be back for regular posting.. and then I'll leave again for the wedding and honeymoon. But yeah, just giving y'all a heads-up.
