So much has happened and changed in my life since my last post in 2012. I don’t even know where to begin! Right around that time I started caring for my grandmother who had developed Alzheimers, and it sucked up all of my time. And, even since that chapter in my life, there were more changes; earning my black belt in a martial art, moving way out into the country, going through a divorce, enrolling all three of my children into public school, starting a brand new career after being a full-time stay-at-home-mommy for 15 years, and then….. falling hEaD-oVeR-hEeLs in LOVE with my BEST FRIEND!
Life truly is a journey filled with all kinds of surprises that are filled with many ups and downs, but I am here to tell you that if you just hang in there the light at the end of the tunnel is very bright! There were times during this last chapter when I couldn’t even breath. I look back and I have no idea how I made it through while somehow holding onto my sanity- but, I DID!
The boys are doing great! They have adjusted very well to public school, and they are getting to experience many things that they wouldn’t have otherwise. I have surprised myself with accomplishing growth in my career path even though I barely had a resume when I embarked on this path. And, the most rewarding and beautiful part of this whole experience is finding my soulmate!
Falling in love with your best friend is the most amazing experience! I have turly found my other half. That line in the movie Jerry McGuire- “You complete me!” YES! That is US! I love this man with every ounce of my being. And, he is an amazing daddy to the boys. I am excited about building a relationship with his two sons as well, and I am looking forward to making lots of memories together.
