This is my son at 17 weeks
When I was younger I thought a little about being a father. Most of my thoughts were on who would the mother be, because that is what young boys think about. But I found the love of my life and now I can think clearly about becoming a father.
We are a young couple, me being 24 and Angela being 21, and it feels like real life is just beginning. Angela works full time while I work part time and attend as much school as my university allows. One of my classes requires group work and when I introduced myself to the group, I told everyone I'm married and expecting a kid. The looks on their faces were priceless, and their comments were even more funny... to me anyways. My fellow classmates think I am forfitting a big part of my life to become a father.Throwing away my independence, giving up life as I know it. Many people probably think the same way, but I don't really care. I believe in God, and I believe in eternity, and I feel eternity was meant for me to be a father.
No prize for a professional accomplishment can make up for seeing a child grow. No bigger salary from sole dedication to work can compensate for time spent with a child who loves their daddy. This life was meant for joy, and I believe God has blessed us with the most joy in our families. I intend to be the best daddy i can be.
I am so excited to meet my little boy.To teach him about life, and about Heavenly Father, who blessed me to have a child. I look forward to the good times, and the times where we are grateful to have trials. I look forward to birthdays, christmas's, hunting easter eggs around the house, teaching him how to ride a bike, gradutation, serving a mission, marriage, and then watching my blessing unfold for him.
I am excited to become a dad, to love a child of my own.
