My name is Kristin. Id tell you my last name but itd kinda ruin a part of the story. I live in Moore, Oklahoma. I was born in Dallas, Texas but was raised and lived here my whole life...so I pretty much know that spring or winter there's about a 110% chance of a tornado. It can be 90 degrees one day and snow the next day. If You know a neighbor with a shelter, You befriend them, crazy or not.
I graduated from Moore High School in 2002, with a class of over 600. I was a nerd, still am but we'll talk about that later. AP English, AP Spanish, Calculus, Chemistry, Psychology, Sociology, Banking, Shorthand etc... The whole shebang. I played soccer but it wasnt my life, i actually enjoyed school, NOT going to school but i enjoyed the work and homework. I had just a little cluster of friends and we did everything together! I got detention once in my entirety of school years and that was bc I forgot to get my weekly English notebook signed. I was a rebel. We were allowed 5 missed class days per 9 weeks and I sure as hell didn't dare to miss more. If my friends and I ditched class it was to just to drive to our "cool'' spot known as cry baby bridge, which was supposedly haunted by, you guessed it, a baby. We thought it was so cool, Even though we were the only ones that went to it. I didnt even go to my very first party til my graduation night. Did I mention I was a nerd? Even though My school was big, Oddly enough, Moore didn't really have much at the time! All we had was a Walmart, and not the kind with the grocery store! They upgraded shortly after and turned into the super walmart. Then all of a sudden, fast forward a few years and there's everything on every corner in a 4 mile radius! Except ironically no OnCue, probably bc they know itd just be taken down eventually by a tornado. Ill be honest i thought i was a small town girl (livin in a lonely world) Moore was just a suberb of Oklahoma City (which is really big!). We didn't even have a "See Moore" sign on the highway. You know, those signs that say what all there's to do here, mostly bc there's nothing really to do. My theory was always bc they didn't want someone spray painting "butts" under "See Moore" like from The Simpsons.
My small town feeling ended when i met my now husband, Danny in 2006. He was actually dating my best friend at the time and i was dating someone else by all four of us hung out all the time! Mostly bc him and i didnt want to just hang out with our significant others alone. Shortly after I ended up breaking up with my now ex and Danny ended his relationship with my best friend in early December of 06. After though, Danny and I continued to stay friends and talk and We started to realize we actually had alot more in common than we thought. We ended up having our very first date on January 3, 2007. which btw was not cool with my best friend, I know its like the #1 rule, don't date your friend's ex. We didn't talk for over 2 years after that, but we reconciled and since we had been best friends forever before we thought it was stupid to end over a guy.
Ok back to Danny....from Harrah, OK and they literally only have a sonic and a piggly wiggly. Well then anyways, they have a McDonalds now too lol. He graduated with around 100 people. When we first started dating He told me He was voted "most popular" haha, i thought that kind of stuff was only in movies! But nope i saw his yearbook and yup theres 2 whole pages dedicated to him and his fellow "most" whatever's. He was the star basketball player, point guard starter. The girls swooned over him, they would even do his homework! Everything i pretty much hated about guys like him at my school! But from everything ive heard he wasnt a snob like those kind of guys that i imagined or saw in my school. Hes the most friendly guy you'll ever meet, which sometimes isnt always the best thing but hey what can you do.
Anyways after seeing and hearing all that, i quickly realized my town was a lot bigger than i thought and that I loved it a lot more than I thought! God bless you Walmart! After I dated my very handsome popular small town man for about 11 months He proposed in November of 2007, I'm guessing bc Walmart was just as important to him. Shortly after the wedding planning started, on my part anyways, and We set for July of 2008 to get hitched!
God had other plans though. Two months after he proposed, This woman started feeling sick, and by sick i mean puking up my guts. After taking five pregnancy tests, yes you read that right! For some reason He seemed to believe they were lying no matter how many times i told they dont do negative positives! So the fifth one, which by the way was a digital one that literally said pregnant so he finally believed it. Yup. I was pregnant! After months of planning on a wedding that we had planned on having 7 months from then ��
Luckily We didn't do the whole save the date cards to our guests cause, you guessed it, we had to move the wedding up a few months to April so I'd only be 4 months and not showing yet. To be honest, I was more than willing to wait til after I had the baby to have a wedding. I wasn't in a hurry, the dress would still be there after and I'm pretty sure He would've too �� but of course my mother wasn't having that idea! I was having the damn thing in April and I was gonna like it!
