I’m so excited to be participating in the “ultimate blog party” this year!
So here’s a short & sweet intro to my blog!
My name is Paula. I married my best friend just over 3 years ago, after only knowing him for 5 weeks. That story can be found here. Less than 2 years later we welcomed our baby boy into the world. And in just 3 months our baby girl will be born!
I write about what I’m learning as a young wife and mom. I’m FAR from perfect, and starting to realize that is okay. Weekly I write a post for my “confessions of an imperfect mother” series. In those posts I talk about something that happened during the week that was imperfect, and not necessarily something to be proud of. I write these posts as a reminder (and hopeful encouragement!) to other moms that none of us are perfect, and we all have “bad days”.
I write about marriage, love, faith and overcoming my rough teenage years. And a few posts here and there about decorating and finances/saving money!
Blogging/writing is my way of relaxing and unwinding after my baby is in bed. I LOVE hearing from people and making new connections! :) Please feel free to comment and leave a link to your blog if you have one!!!
Looking forward to meeting lots of new friends!!!

You’re story sounds like mine. I met my hubby in mid-July, we got married the beginning of October. I then spent some part of the next 7 years pregnant or having babies…lol…
Stopping by for the party! Enjoy! Come by and visit my soon!
futurehope says
wow! that’s an awesome story!!! thanks for sharing!!! headed to your blog now, sounds like you have a busy but happy life :D
Gail Purath says
It’s nice to find your blog via UBP and I like that you were married young. I’m much older than you, but I was married a couple of months after my 19th birthday and 41 years later me and my best friend are still together and in love. Sometimes people think that early marriages don’t work…but they are wrong : )
futurehope says
wow Gail, thanks for sharing your story!!! It is always so encouraging to me to hear stories of other people who married young and are still happy and in love years later!!!
headed over to your page now!! :) thanks for joining mine!

Bailey@Lost&Found says
This was such a great highlight! I can’t believe you married your husband after only knowing him 5 weeks- but, sometimes, you just know! and I totally understand that. Your son is adorable and CONGRATULATIONS on baby#2 on the way! Such exciting news :)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Bailey

Hi Paula! I’m stopping by from the blog hop. I love that you married after only five weeks and created a beautiful family. I met my husband in high school {even though we didn’t get married until many years later} I knew after a short time and at a young age that he was someone special. Sometimes you just know.
futurehope says
awww thanks for sharing some of your story with me! so sweet! :) you are right, sometimes you just know!!!
visiting your blog now! thanks for leaving the link! :D
