Introduction

Hey,

I am Johnny and I am a young family man. When i was growing up I knew I wanted to be a family man, to give my family the life I never received. Don't get me wrong I didn't have the worst childhood but I didn't have the best one either. Like millions of other people I wanted my family to have what I couldn't as a child. I never went on family vacations or got the coolest new cloths. I was raised by my father for 11 years until he was thrown in prison and then my mother who was forced away by my father stepped in to become "mom" and raise her 2 boys.

A long time ago we were a 3 boy family. I was only 3 when it all happened and my oldest brother was 9 and my older brother was 6.My oldest brother was shot and killed by a rifle that backfired when it was dropped by my older brother (middle of the 3, I am the youngest). He has had to live with that for the rest of his life and still has nightmares to this day.

We were raised with an iron fist and told that if we wanted something we had to work for it and that is how I acquired most of my things. I am still working for my degree today as I just separated from the Air Force. I have a decent job and love the work I am doing. I am proud to have served my country and I am also glad to have never gone over seas, but I did support the war from home.

I have wanted kids since I could remember to sort of make up for the life I missed out on. Right now I have a beautiful wife who is 21, a beautiful daughter who is 2 and a handsome boy who is 8 months. They are the joys of my life and I plan to give them as much as I can and experience the things I never got to. My wife fully supports me and I hope she will continue to help me follow my dream.

This is why I called my blog Young Family Man. I will write about my life happenings and how it is to be a young family man in today's world. The struggles I will go through as well as the joyous times. The first couple of posts will be about history and catching up with where I am today. Then I will start to write about what is going on day by day.
