Dating goes mostly well with only a few hiccups, and in their early 30s, Jennifer and David get married. Creating a beginning to my family's life cycle.

David and Jennifer Get Together

David Munroe and Jennifer Johnston met sometime in New Hampshire during the late 90s. I'm not sure how they met, but they liked each other enough to get into a relationship.

Morgan is Born

Marriage has been going well enough for a child to be considered. In 2007, I was born. My head popped out of my mother's stomach and I started screaming. I was also a huge baby at a whopping 13 pounds.

Early Living

In their early years of marriage, David and Jennifer lived in an apartment complex in Concord, New Hampshire. They also helped out my Uncle, Jeremiah, giving him a home while he was a struggling addict at the time. My Uncle stole a bunch of my father's money and left at some point within my first year of life, and with that we moved to Hillsboro.

Early Living Part Two

My father bought a trailer in Longwoods much to both him and my mother's dismay. Longwoods used to be an up-kept community, but had declined in quality by the time my parents had moved in. This is where I grew up! My father worked 3rd shift at Osram and was a part-time bassist for his band, so I didn't see a lot of him in my earlier years. My mother worked as a medical assistant in Concord's hospital. Both my parents were very busy, so most of my time growing up was spent with my grandparents or being babysat by an old couple in Antrim.

2012, my brother was born! Being a blonde headed, blue-eyed baby in a family full of dark brown hairs and black eyes caused a little bit of drama. My brother wasn't terrible, but he was definitely a handful compared to me. My parents decided that two kids was plenty for their nest.

DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

morganmunroe — 2024-06-12 12:11:34 UTC

In 2016 I believe, is when my father decided to divorce my mother after a good couple of unhappy years together. It wasn't messy however, my mother was heartbroken and has vowed to never marry again, but has made sure that the divorce was as easy as possible for us kids. The first few months after the divorce we stayed with my mother in Longwoods while my father moved in with his best friend to figure things out. Both of my parents have equal custody over me and my brother.

Post-Divorce for my Mom

After a good couple of months of getting ourselves situated we moved to Antrim, which is where we have been living since. Our neighbors rented out a small house they built for us. Initially, my mother never wanted to have a man in her life, but within time her mind changed. Unfortunately, she met a man named Bill.

Post-Divorce for my Dad

morganmunroe — 2024-06-12 12:20:01 UTC

My father felt really guilty for putting me and my brother through divorce, but ultimately it was for the best. My father met a woman through Osram named Sheryl and was really fond of her. It didn't take them long to start dating each other, and my father then moved in with her and her two insane daughters. They still lived in a trailer, but this time it was next to Agway.

The Brown Family

My father lived with Sheryl and her two daughters in another trailer park in Hillsboro for a couple of years. We integrated families, and on one of Sheryl's birthdays my dad proposed to her. Shortly after becoming engaged we moved to a bigger house in Jefferson Drive, which is where we are today. In 2021, My father and Sheryl officially got married.

The Bishop Family

My mother met a man named Bill about a year after the divorce happened. What started as a coping mechanism became something more committed. Bill moved in with us and introduced us to his large family over the last couple of years. About a month or two ago, Bill proposed to my mother to "prove his commitment", which she rejected.

Present Day

morganmunroe — 2024-06-12 17:17:46 UTC

As of now me and my brother live between our two households on a weekly basis, still in the 'full nest' stage. I am starting to transition into being launched into the world however. My father has a high paying management position at Osram, and my mother still works as a medical assistant, now in Monadnock instead of Concord. My brother is in Great Brook Middle School as a seventh grader, and I am wrapping up my Junior year in High-School.
