So here’s a little background information on me. I, Kelly Marie Jona was born in Parma, Ohio on January 30, 1978. I joined America’s elite fighting force, the USMC, after high school in 1996. There, I met my ex-husband and became Kelly Brengman.  I was given the most precious gift ever, Chloe!

I found Christ through my divorce and have been blessed beyond my wildest dreams. I definitely have seen my hard times, but along with it, have gained amazing friends that have helped me learn great faith in God! I definitely have counted it all joy! On March 22, 2007, I received the second greatest gift God could ever give me, Paul Carpenter. Later in 2007, the day before Thanksgiving, he asked to become part of our family and proposed. I can’t imagine life without him, and now I don’t have to! On August 8, 2008, our journey as a new family began!
