I am 26 years old. I was born in Salina, Kansas and moved to North Carolina in April 2005. I was living with my best friend, who was murdered in front of my eyes. Her ex-boyfriend broke into our apartment and shot her then himself. The man I was seeing became my best friend. I trusted him with my life, and ended up marrying him in December 2006. He was a Blackman from Connecticut. As a white woman from Kansas, I was not surrounded by interracial marriages growing up, so this was a surprise to my family and me. We have been married three years and have a beautiful two-year-old daughter and a six-month-old son. It is amazing how life events shape who we are and what we become.
