Some History

            Exactly 24 years ago from this upcoming Sunday, my mother was rushed into New Hanover County Hospital. The date: Labor Day, September 1, 1989. The reason: To bring into the world a beautiful bubbly baby girl.  That girl was me, Allison Leigh Godsey; however, this day in time, I go by Ally.  After being born in Wilmington, my family and I moved to Macon, Georgia where we spent my early years.  During this peach grove infested stint, we moved to Lacrosse, Wisconsin due to my father’s job.  After freezing down to our very soul we returned to Macon after only six months, we decided to forego the normal car trek back and spent an extended period of time traveling around North America in a motorhome…my grandparents, my parents, my older sister, and I had reached Partridge Family status.  Upon returning to Macon, my mother was expecting, which prompted us to move back to Wilmington, NC. Thus my little brother was born.  Nothing important happened from then until I graduated from Topsail High School in 2007 and decided to join the US Coast Guard.  I ended up being stationed in Los Angeles, California where I spent the next four and a half years. After my time in the Coast Guard and some time off in California, I decided to buckle down and go back to school.  I returned to Wilmington and was accepted into UNCW.  A couple years, trips, experiences, and classes later… here we go…
