A New Life

Since this is my first blog post, I guess I should spend some time talking about myself.

I was born in Frimley, England on the 4th of October, 1991. I have two older step-brothers (Darren and Jason) and a younger siste (Chloe). I lived there where my parents ran a large real estate company until I was 12, when we uprooted and moved to Port Charlotte, Florida. Years of school and sports, and all that later, I met the love of my life, my beautiful soon-to-be fiance who, funnily enough, shares a name with me. The summer Jordan Stephanie Gray and I met after my High School graduation is one I will never forget. She and I now live together, and there is a big story about how things happened that I'm sure will shock you, but that is for later) Since even before our first kiss, she has literally always been on my mind and I don't think I could function without her in my life. We have been together over a year and are expecting our first child in late February 2012. (Could be a leap year baby!)

I am working hard as a REALTOR in Southwest Florida and loving it. The work is great and the money I'm earning now will allow me and Jordan to buy a house probably before the baby arrives which is a good feeling. My real passion aside from Real Estate is writing. I have completed a 700+ page medieval fantasy novel, the first of a planned trilogy, or quadrilogy, (I'm really not sure how long it will have to be before I complete it!) I love history and plan on writing historical fiction mainly, and am a good way into another novel based in ancient Egypt which I first began as a 7th grader. For now I am just waiting till I have the time and money to invest in publishing my work and for that I am beyond excited.

I am also beyond excited for my first baby to be born. Whether it's a boy or girl I know it will change my life. London or Summer already means so much to me. Every decision, every thought, every single thing I do in a day is dominated by her/him. All I care about is providing for my future wife and future child; mainly buying the perfect home for all of us (and our four dogs, more on that later), planning where we would like our child to go to school, what to do for vacations, family traditions, etc... To summarize: I am almost too excited for the future. I want it now!

Our two dogs, a sweetheart Chihuahua names Minnie, and a spirited Maltese named Danger, had six playful puppies over six weeks ago. We plan on keeping two of these "Mahuahuas" for ourselves. I grew up with dogs (not this many!) and I think our child will love growing up alongside the loving ones in our house.

I will be posting again soon on whats to come, though I can spare you the boring details next time!
