Too Young: Hannah

               I am more than happy with the choices I've made in my life. A lot of people are shocked to find out that I "settled down" and got married at the young age of 21, but it didn't seem like a crazy thing for me to do. The joys of marriage and now carrying a child far outweigh living a life of a single, "normal" college student for me. My choices have shaped me into the person I am, so although it's difficult at times living with the seemingly mature and huge, life-altering decisions I've made, I literally wouldn't trade the life I have for any other one.
                I do feel ridiculed by some for making the choice to become a wife and a mom at such a young age. Thankfully, the people in my family aren't the ones that question my choices. They are completely supportive and loving of every decision I make, and have been for as long as I can remember. The ones that judge us are those who don't know us. They just see two kids getting hitched and knocked up; They don't see the deep love and commitment to each other and to the Lord that we have, the love that is unconditional and real.
