Life Changes...
One of my favorite quotes has always been, Life is about changes, Sometimes it is painful, Sometimes its beautiful, but most of the time its both. That has never been more true then the last 6 months of my life. I am going to take you back to June, where I left off and tell you what has happened.
I went and got my niece, she was living with us and everything was going great... life was perfect... (August) Megan started school, we got everything going great, the construction on the house was coming along great... (September) My grandmother felt dizzy, now mind you she had just beaten cancer for the 4th time... She stood up to go to the bathroom, and fell to the floor, she told my grandfather she was dizzy and she would be fine... TWO HOURS LATER.... my father went downstairs and found her still on the floor... HE FLIPPED... Needless to say, they called 911 and she was rushed to the hospital... apparently she had a brain Aneurysm and she started bleeding in the brain... she was on machines for a while and because its in her final wishes that she not be hooked up to machines, they took her off... they said if she could not survive with out them there was nothing they could do. She died on September 9 2011... I got to Indiana on the 10th. I went up there to help my family with arrangements and to help clean for company. It was not the family reunion I was hoping for... none of us were... but it was done none the less... on September 23rd my then husband called me and told me that he felt it was time for us to move on... after 10 years it was over... just like that... I got home on the 25th and packed all of my shit and moved out. It hurt... not losing him so much as losing everything i had worked for in the 10 years we were together... I worked hard to make it through each day with out the pain and tears... October rolled around and I surrounded myself with my friends and family and realized how truly unhappy i really was in the marriage... I spent a lot of time with my best friend from high school, Brandi, and her family... their room mate, brian *who i went to middle school with* called me from his out of town job with the fairs and such just to see how i was doing, it just so happened that at that very moment I was stranded on the side of the road with my 9 month pregnant sister... i ran out of gas... BIG SHOCKER... my ex left me with a shitty car anyways... thats where it all began... him and I talked EVERYDAY... we really hit it off... He came home in November, and we have been pretty much inseparable since. We had our first thanksgiving together, and then Christmas *which i have always hated*, new years, valentines day, and I hope to spend many more with him... My divorce was final on Friday January 13th 2012, and things have been even better since then. I have fallen madly in love with Brian, he makes me laugh and keeps me smiling... He loves me for me and doesnt want to change a thing about me. We are taking it day by day but planning for a long future together... He has a daughter who I adore... shes a nut just like her father... and I hope to one day have one of my own... we will see where life takes us and thats where life becomes beautiful... you cant predict the future, but you can dream of what you want... what you can hope to happen... on another note... I have gotten 4 tattoos since November... I got a lotus flower on my foot, the panda on my back *matching with brandi* my breast cancer ribbon on my left leg, and my shamrock on my right (matching with Megan).... Im working at starbucks now and life is wonderful
