There have been so many changes in my life…. I have done a complete 180 in the past 2 years. It all started when I decided that It was time to move out of where I was living. At that time, the three of us were all living at my In-laws house. Things were VERY rocky between me and my husband, and… I found a house, and moved out, and we separated
I was very worried about the transition for my son. Going from being with grandma, grandpa and daddy ALL the time… to being with ME! I felt like I had no clue how to be a parent….And some days, I still feel like I have a lot to learn. Lil C and i have had Such a learning curve. It was nice but scary all at the same time.
I told myself, when I separated from my ex, that I would never date again. That i would never consider marrying aging .. But obviously that’s not what God had in store for me. For those who have seen the announcements and the pictures, I am currently engaged. As I said, this relationship was not planned. I’ve had many accusations – saying I was cheating on my ex, that’s why I easily started dating my guy… And those accusations are not true. Granted, I have known my fiancee for years – and I think that’s one reason it was easy to transition into a relationship after I filed for divorce.
On New Years Eve, I got engaged. Everything feels JUST Right. And I love knowing that Lil C is on board with it. The only thing he worried about was making sure when we move that we take all his toys. That and he will miss his house… But we talked, and I think we have finally worked on that aspect. He has been spending time my fiancees house – and making his room his own. He picked out the paint – and we put in a Make-shift bed (air mattress)… It’s starting to feel like his own room. Just needs a real bed, and a carpet change, and his dresser and It will be like home!
Everything was going great, then there was another change in my life. I got let go from a job that I have been at for almost 10 years. I have never been let go form a job before, So, I took it Extremely hard. I tried to look at it as a Positive change…. Too a point, it has been. Trying to find a new job hasn’t been easy though. I mean, I haven’t had to look for a job in 10 years! Things have changed a LOT since then.
And life will still constantly change. I am trying to do my best and just take it one day at a time.
Happy times are ahead. Things work out as they are meant to
Good things are happening. As hard as it was to lose the job, I’m glad you’re done there. I knew Lil C would do great with the transition and you guys made it easy and smooth! =)
