"Short" Story of My Life!

Once upon a time ... ;)
I was born in Mexico City and lived there with my great grandma and aunt (they're no longer with me) while my mom worked in Los Angeles for a couple of years. I came to California exactly 10 days before I turned 3 years old. I've lived here ever since and wouldn't change it for anything. I'm a SoCal Girl! ;) It was just my mom and I until I was 5 years old. My biological father lives in Mexico. I'm their "love child" so besides the occassional phone call, he's never been a part of my life. When I was 5 years old, my mom married an Argentinean man and shortly after they had my little brother, Carlos. I always refer to my step-dad as dad which is what he is and has been for the past 25 years. I had an overall good childhood nothing very exciting so I'll  jump across some growing developing years straight into my rocky high school years. In high school, I wasn't as good of a student as I possibly could have been. I got myself into trouble my freshmen and sophomore year and ended up getting sent to independent study. I spent one year in that program with Mr. Taite, a wonderful teacher... without  him I wouldn't have graduated. My mom knew a lot of what was going on, but my dad was pretty much left in the dark. My parents were pretty strict, they didn't allow me to do much. I wasn't much of a tamable girl (that hasn't changed much;) so I rebelled every chance I got. My junior year I met my now husband, Bobby... I knew he was "IT"! I just knew I would spend the rest of my life with him. I got pregnant my senior year... very unplanned, very scary, and very difficult! I graduated pregnant and told my dad a few weeks later. I was already 5 months and about to turn 18. It was a mess! I was sent to Mexico for my safety cause  at that point my dad had gone mad. He was very  disappointed in me. I spent 2 months in Mexico which was an extremely emotional time in my life. I "met" my biological father (hadn't seen him for 13 years and didn't even know what he looked like) and some of his family including my grandma, my beautiful cousin Luz and my beloved brother Hector... they have also passed away in the last couple of years. I was 32 weeks pregnant when I came back to the states and 4 days later... through a lot of complications I gave birth to my beautiful daughter Victoria. After a few months of living with my parents, going to college and being away from Bobby I moved in with him and his family. Of course that all happened after a huge fallout with my parents. We lived with his parents for 8 months before we got our own place. Through this time (about 2 years) I wasn't allowed back home and I only saw my mom every so often. It wasn't until she became ill that once again our lives reunited. At that time my parents were able to see that Bobby loves me and that he's a great husband and father. We've now been together for almost 13 years... and yes at times its been a wild ride full of many ups and downs but we have survived and will continue to do so. We got legally married on April 25, 2003... just 5 days before giving birth to our second precious baby girl Julieta. I love my family and I am forever grateful for them! I am truly blessed with an amazing husband and two wonderful loving sweet daughters! I really can't ask for more! =)
