Where do I start?

Alright, so I decided I needed to start some sort of blog in order to vent about my bad days and to praise my good days. I guess we should start with the basics.....
My name is BreAna Grace Marie Riley (yes I know its long but it's my name and no one else can claim it). I am 19 years old (20 in November) and I am a single mom to two beautiful little girls. Well I am going to assume that my second one will be beautiful since my first one is lol. She will be here in September. Ariana is my first daughter and she will be 2 on August 20. Sutton will be here by September 29. Right now I am still in college studying to be an English teacher..... (but i will probably change my degree). I work at a movie theater in my town and I help my mom raise my 6 brothers and 1 sister. Yes we live together. No my dad didn't die. He and my mom got divorced. Anyway, we all live in a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house. No we really dont fight over the bathroom! (mainly because the boys just dont really shower.) anyway my siblings go in order like this. Keegan (18), Hunter (16), Leighton (13), Lilli (11), Phoenix (7), Creed and Knox (2). YEP i know what you are thinking. My mom and I were both pregnant at the same time. It was crazy weird but totally worth it. I can honestly say that my mom is probably my biggest hero because of everything that she does for me and my siblings. It is not easy to be a single parent. I am happy I get to learn from the best :)

Okay lets now get into my little story...
I fell in love with this guy, we will call him J for short. Anyway I met him at my church when I was 15. He threw a ping pong ball and hit me in the eye. Anyway we hit it off literally right then. as the years went by I was determined I was going to marry this boy. well when i turned 17, I got pregnant and he cheated on me multiple times. I am a very forgiving person and of course forgave him. That is how the cycle started. he'd cheat and I would forgive. Until recently, I finally decided I was done being hurt and used. Now yes it took him leaving during my second pregnancy to finally realize that I don't need him and his toxic behavior in my life. I am a strong independent woman. Anyway I believe that this is a good place to call it a night. I am thanking God that my life is finally becoming more positive.
