Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.

I enjoy people watching and scrolling through others lives on social media. I like to see similarities and differences between separate people. My name is Kendra Keil, like Kyle but spelt awkwardly. I am a 22 year old who is married, has two boys, is the marketing lead for an employment resource agency, and I own my own social media marketing business.

I started as a 19 year old who was almost bankrupt and panicking with every step she was taking because I felt rushed into life. I went from being my own person to becoming married and having a child within 5 months of each other. This journey felt like it was tearing me down and I did not know what to do. We were just kind of making it by with life, and then nine months later we found out we were pregnant with my son Logan. With Logans pregnancy I was severely sick and having a hard time being on my own so we moved in with my parents. I was struggling to make it 15 minutes without almost passing out and being nauseas. I finally came into contact with an amazing woman who gave me a job at a store in the mall. This was something I could do while making sure I was not overdoing myself. We lived with my parents for my entire pregnancy. I had Logan and went through a different kind of depression. The store I was working at closed down and I was not sure what I was doing with my life. I had two kids to take care of and was living with my parents. Then Logan started having breathing issues which brought on a new kind of panic. The hospitals were helpful but were not giving us answers that we thought were right. However, he started to seem a little better. We knew he still needed help but thought that it was just a longer process of helping his breathing and we needed to be patient.However, with all of these struggles we started to think about it and knew that the next decision was going to be a hard one but that we needed to do it. My husband called an acquaintance of his and then took a twelve hour journey for a job in Montana. After a long month of working we built up enough wealth for him to come down and pick us up. We traveled down to Montana it was a two day journey. We dropped Jason off at my mother in laws on the way there and then made it into the area we live in. We lived with my in-laws for the first part of our time here until we could move into our apartment. I started out with a week temporary job answering phone calls and taking messages for an insurance agency while he was on vacation. It wasn’t much but it was something. After a few weeks my son came back from his grandmas and I started looking for a daycare. About a week after he arrived back home we were told we could move into our apartment early. We found an amazing daycare and I started working at Target. After a few months Logan became sick again, really sick. He was in the hospital for a little over a week and it was the most painful thing to watch. I called out of work everyday to stay with him. Thankfully we got put on the right track and are beginning tests and surgeries to help him, more on that later. After the time in the hospital we had some issues with target understanding why I was gone so long and to make a long story short I decided to find a new job. I found a new job as an office assistant for an employment resource agency. Although to my luck they did not just want an assistant they wanted someone to run their marketing. So here I am their new marketing/office assistant. I am also running my own social media marketing agency on the side. Montana was the best decision we have made and we are thriving. We found a new church and are attending events there, I started cooking which is something I have never been able to commit to, I am raising my boys and starting to tot school them (toddler school), I am helping our family become a more green family and turning our lives around.
