You have probably stumbled across my page for a reason. I guess you want to know a little more about me. Well....I'm Tyane. I am 27 years young, born in California, and raised in Indiana. I grew up in the tiny town of Russiaville with my mom, dad, and younger sister.
Childhood wasn't ideal in my eyes. My mother had mental issues and had her crazy moments. My dad was in the military for the first few years of my life, then had to work like crazy to support the family. I was a daddy's girl, which caused tension between my mom and me. I also have a laid back and reserved personality and it clashed with her outgoing crazy side. We struggled financially as well. I didn't have the clothes to match the latest styles, participating in extracurricular activities didn't exist, and meals were quick and easy.
At the age of 12, I lost my mom, suddenly. To this day, we don't know what her caused her sudden death. She was 35. My dad later on remarried, and I gained a stepbrother. We went from the typical family of four, to a blended family of five. We also kept my parents busy between volleyball, baseball, soccer, choir concerts, the whole nine. Then I graduated high school, moved out, and began my own journey.
At the age of 20, I became a mom for the first time. Finding out I was pregnant was the most shocking moment of my life. The pregnancy journey was full of emotion, and the birth of my son was the scariest time of my life.Though May 23rd changed my life for the better, I was in labor for 40 hours, landed in the OR for emergency c-section, then was hospitalized for eight days after my baby boy's birth. I ended up getting a very rare blood clotting condition which was diagnosed four days after delivery. After blood thinners and a gallon of antibiotics, I was finally released. On the upside, I did give birth to a healthy seven pound, thirteen ounce boy named Landon.
At 22, I met my second son's father. It was one of those "love at first sight" situations, and from the first night we met, we were inseparable. After dating for a couple of months, I found out I was pregnant. We decided, at that point, we should get married for the sake of our unborn son. I was married on May 15th that year. Then on August 21st, my nine pound eleven ounce ball of joy named Logan was born. He was so big at birth, the nurses nicknamed him "Bubba Logan". Those first few months of being a family were wonderful. Then things got rocky, and I became divorced.
Divorce on the legal side was pretty easy. The emotion and painful side was difficult. I had many sleepless nights, next to no appetite, and my mind was on turbo speed. I felt like the end of the world was near. My biggest worry was being able to raise my children and be coined the stereotype as a single mom, once again. It wasn't easy, but I tried my best to make sure I had the life at its best for my kiddos Before I knew it, I was working two jobs, and going to school full-time just to make ends meet. Little did I know that I was going to meet the love of my life while getting my degree.
January 10, 2010....Business Law....KO106. This class was on Monday nights. There was no assigned seating for this class, so I went toward the back of the room and sat next to a guy who was pursuing an IT degree. I later on found out his name was Dallas Since I socialize with almost anyone who comes down my path, we began small talk. As weeks and months went by, the small talk became the friendlier type. He became my best friend. Though, he was the "computer geek" we had many similarities and differences that seemed to blend well for a relationship. We started dating later that year. A few months later, I found out that baby number three was going to make a debut in 2011.
We were off and on dating wise during my pregnancy (gotta love them hormones). I was still dealing with the divorce emotions on top of the pregnancy emotions. He was about to graduate college and move out of town to start a new job. We clashed on some levels of our relationship until the ultrasound in March that year. We found out it was a boy, then the doctor noticed cysts in his brain that needed to be looked at a little more. We were told that this could be a condition called Trisomy 18, where a third copy of the 18th chromosome developed in his DNA. I later on found out that this could be lethal to the baby. After an additional ultrasound, those results came out negantive (thank God!) On August 9th, Rylan was born. He was my eight pound seven ounce miracle that kept Dallas and I together. After his birth, our relationship rekindled and improved greatly. I later on moved in with him in Carmel. I became engaged on February 29, 2012, and was married on June 6, 2012.
2013 has been full of ups and downs. We found out I was pregnant with baby boy number four. A week after that, my Gramma Joy passed away. My Papaw Leroy has been hospitalized since January with complications after a surgery. We have had issues with babysitters while Dallas and I were working In the spring, we found a house in Noblesville, and moved. I lost my job four weeks before the birth of my baby boy. On June 12, Greyson was born, my eight pound four ounce miracle. I am now a stay at home mom, and can proudly say that I enjoy it. I love being able to spend time with my babies and watch them grow each day.
Now you know my life story to date. Kinda crazy, I know, but that's how life rolls. Want to know some of the fun stuff, like hobbies and what not? Well here it goes....
I am a huge football junkie. Hate me all you want, but I love my Fightin' Irish and the Colts. I do keep up with all the games as much as I can. Weekends at my house during the fall involve nothing but football. I am the type that if I am watching it, NO ONE speaks to me if my teams are playing. I know, it's sad. I thank my grandfather, dad, and three uncles for the football talk during all the holiday dinners all these years. HA!!
Another hobby of mine involves cooking. I can thank my mom for this trait. I love to eat healthy, and make sure my family eats as healthy too. I don't like preparing boxed, processed, or chemically modified foods UNLESS I absolutely have to (and that is very rare that I have to). Not only do I find it fun to make meals from scratch, I have also found that it saves money in the long run. Call me weird, but I am excited to begin a garden at our home next year.
I also love to be creative and crafty. With four kids, I find it easy to come up with crafty things that involve them too. Creativity is become lack thereof nowadays, so I bring it upon myself to make sure the kids can express themselves in this manner. I like painting, making household decor, decorating, you name it.
Lastly, I love to write. I was a yearbook editor in high school. It led on to college when I took up a minor in English Writing after one of the professors was impressed by the quality of my papers. I haven't written anything in awhile, so I might still be rusty in some aspect. Hopefully that will change as I start this journey in writing.
That's just the beginning about me. My goal with this blog is to be able to share my ideas with you. It could be my favorite recipe, or what my kiddos have created at home or school. It could be a way that I saved time doing a household chore, or it could be how I spend time with my family. No matter what's posted, I hope you will learn something, and I hope to learn from you. I am open to suggestions and willing to try anything that you guys may have out there. Stay tuned....this is just the beginning!!
