Me, Myself & I
So this is a blog about my crazy life. To begin with, I’m willing to tell you my history.
My name is Amber, I’m 18 years old and live with my partner Dean. I’m currently pregnant with our first child (I’m 7 months through). I have never been the best child in my family (hence why I don’t live with them).
I have 6 siblings. My parents divorced when I was just a child. My dad is a doctor and remarried a woman I absolutely despise, her name’s Sharon. They are living only 30 minutes out of Christchurch on a lifestyle block with their 8 year old daughter Cassie (Cassandra).
My mum is a Travel Agent and lives in Wellington with her new husband Robby. She has three other children; Ethan (10 yrs), Malcolm (7 yrs) & Jacinta (5 yrs). I also have two other siblings; Hunter (20 yrs)- who is studying at the University of Otago so I don’t get to see him often and Nadia (16 yrs) who is at boarding school in Christchurch because she doesn’t like living with my dad and his family.
Dean’s family is a little more functional than mine. His parents are still together and are living in Auckland at the moment - however they will be moving to Christchurch in a few weeks (just before Christmas). They moved to Auckland when Dean was 18 (two years ago). He didn’t want to go so they left him in CHCH to flat with his friends and work on his building apprenticship. He has a younger brother named Ryan who is 18 years old. He’s moving back to Christchurch with his parents too. Dean also has an older sister named Tessa (22 years). She is engaged to Jack and already has a 1 year old son named Zach. They currently live in Sydney Australia.
Today Dean and I moved into his parents apartment in town. They were renting it out to a couple but they moved out yesterday. They offered us the house with cheap rent when they found out I was pregnant. I was living with my dad (which I hated) while Dean was flatting in a beat up old house with 3 of his friends.
The only reason I decided to write this blog now, was because moving into this apartment and starting a family of my own seemed like a new chapter in my life, that I wanted to vent out onto people.
So there’s my family, my current status and a little bit about myself. I’ll blog the rest as soon as I have finished my day.
