Last 5ish years of my life in My life in a nutshell

In December of 2013 I finally gave up on that guy I was writing about I was writing about on OD. Tore me up but I did. I learned to forgive otherwise I never would have been able to move on and be happy again. I’ve seen him a few times while at work here and there but other than that nothing. I didn’t feel what I use to any of the times I did see him. Haven’t seen him in almost a year tho. I wish him nothing but the best.

January of 2014 I met my now husband and ironically his name is Michael as well. We have now been together just over 4 years. Our first Valentines together we went to Bourbon Street. Lol. Watched the last Mardi Gras parade of the year. My first birthday while we were together he took me to do something I had never done up until that point, horseback riding. He taught me how to properly shoot and handle a gun. Our first Christmas together I can’t remember what we did but I know I bought him the headlight and tail light set he had been wanting. Fast forward to our 2nd Christmas together, he asked me to marry him! On our 2 year anniversary (which was less than 3 weeks after) we got married. We went to New Orleans and did a few of the greats there for our honey moon. We went to the zoo, the aquarium, a battle field and did a little bit of shopping. For our one year wedding anniversary we went and spend almost 2 weeks in Biloxi. OMG by the end of it we were looking at trying to buy a house because we didn’t want to leave! lol. Although we didn’t buy a house, we did enjoy ourselves thoroughly. Fast forward do our 4 year mark, we didn’t do anything, anything at all.. In his words (because he left me at home ALL ALONE) I didn’t think it was that important… Really?!?!?!? How in the hell is that not important? How is that day not special to you? Anyways. Going to jump around a bit in the next few paragraphs. 

April 11, 2017 I bought a BRAND NEW CAR. Literally left the lot with 15 miles on it. I love it. It is a 2016 Toyota Prius C Hybrid. I get 60+ miles to the gallon and can get up to 500 miles on an 8 gallon tank! Hell ya! lol. Things by this point with him and I have been really rocky. Like to the point I was debating a 2nd divorce. I was to the point to where I wanted to see my ex husband and find out where him and I went wrong, because I in all honesty felt me and Mike and this point were heading down the same path him and I did. I wanted to know if it was something I did or what happened because I didn’t want to be 26 twice divorced. I drove the 2 and a half hours to see him for the 1st time in 4 years! I was nervous none the less which wasn’t something I was truly expecting. We went and had lunch with some beer. We laughed, we cried and we honestly and whole heartadly forgave each other. I never in a million years thought I would forgive him after what he did to me. After everything he put me thru, but I did and it felt great. It felt amazing to let go of all the hate and anger I held on to for so many years. It’s nice to have a friend again in someone I was once so close to… I do still love him but am no longer in love with him. I want him to be happy. Anyways.  A few weeks after seeing him again for the 1st time, I went and drove to get him and than drove to Alabama to get my best friend and we all 3 drove to Florida and spent the day there. It was so invigorating to get away like completely away for a day and clear my head. I still see a best friend in my ex husband even after everything. I don’t know why but honestly I don’t care. I have a friend again, someone I can trust.. 

One of my good friends sons Conner, (he is 22 now I think) has suddenly professed his love for me. Wants to be with me. Apparently always has. I have no idea how to handle it.. granted he’s great looking and I’m sure he’d treat me great I am not trying to get into a relationship while already married. He has always been an amazing friend was even in my 1st wedding. Why can’t people tell you these things while you aren’t already with someone? 

I work with dogs now. I love it but don’t really like who I work with.. They’re so ugly to me. So mean… I have done literally nothing to them. I think alot of how they act to me has alot to do with the fact that I got a raise from 8 a hour to 10 in like 3 months and it generally takes a year just to get a quarter from these people.. it’s not my fault I busy my ass and my boss notices.. I go above and beyond because it’s who I am. It’s how I was raised. Not because of any other reason. People just SUCK. 

I think this is pretty much a good summary of the last few years.. Lol till next time!
