My Life, Part I

I suppose it's about time I gave a little info about who I am.  Not that I'm all hung up on myself, but for those of you who don't know me well to have a little insight into who I am and why I bother typing these.  

I may only be 27, but this is a long story, so I'll tell it in parts.  I'm not sure how many yet, we'll take it one part at a time.

Part I, Before the Beginning and The Beginning.

My parents, Scott Williamson and Debra (Kulhanek) Rueb met in the late '70's at a bar my dad's band was playing at.  At the time mom was 19, dad was 22.  One thing led to another and they started a relationship that landed them pregnant with my older sister Aspen after a couple months.  They didn't marry until Aspen was about a year and a half.  Within a few months of that they were prego again, this time with me.  Their relationship was rocky at best.  My dad had fidelity issues and my mom knew the relationship was headed for divorce.  That and the chaos of their young lives led her to decide to abort me.  After making an appointment and waiting for the date to approach, some newly saved christian friends intervened.  After listening to some christian tapes on abortion my mom, thankfully, changed her mind.

At 6 months, my mom gave my dad an ultimatum.  Get his life together, or she was leaving.  At this point he turned to Jesus and gave his life to Him.  Although he wasn't perfect yet, he was trying, but at that point there had been too much damage done and my mom left anyway.  

Shortly after they were divorced.
