This is copied/pasted from my OD!! I thought I would give you guys a lil rundown about my life!!


I should have made this my very first entry, but for some reason it never made it! I wanted to tell you a little bit more about me.

I have been married before...In October of 1994, we had a new preacher start at our church. I became friends with his daughters, at first, and then I was introduced to his son. We officially went out on a date that December and by the end of January we were steadily dating.

We dated that whole first year and everything was awesome...I mean I couldn't have asked for a better relationship. By August we were engaged with plans to marry by December, which we did! So, afterwards things were still great....at least that first year.

By the time the 2nd year came around that is when all of our problems started...we had taken a trip to Memphis, TN, that June when he had taken some time off from work and things were starting to get better. I guess around a month or so later he started talking to me about getting divorced. I mean it came up out of the clear blue.

Well...time rocked on as it always does and things between us starting getting worse and worse....1st I started to get these funny feelings that something else just wasn't right in our marriage. You know we all get those feelings from time to time, but these were really strong. Then it got worse from there...he started in calling me names everyday and it went down hill steadily from there. He begin to hit me and then tell me that I am the one that would cause the whole thing. It was THE worse time of my life.

My friends and family would ask me about the bruises and I would, of course, lie and say I ran into the wall, door, etc. I felt so alone and helpless, but I still loved him with every ounce of my being. Why?!?! I have no idea, but this MAN had a hold on me and I didn't want to let him go.

Then in July 1998, he had to go to Kentucky for two weeks for training....he was in the National Guard! I was sooo lonely those two weeks and I never heard from him much. When he came back home in August...my life as I knew it would change forever.

In October 1998, he would tell me that he was filing for divorce. I kept asking, "What have I done?" He never would answer me and then when he would all he would say is, "nothing"! Well...he finally admitted that he was having an affair, with a woman that he works with! I was completely beside myself!

We were finally divorced by February 1999. Well, I had dated around a little during this time. Nobody serious whatsoever, just someone to occasionally go out to eat with and stuff.

Then in September of 2001, God sent me an angel! He is the man that I will spend the rest of my life with. There is not a doubt in my mind that we are meant to be together. We were married on December 18, 2001 and I haven't looked back since.

I guess that is all that can be said...because as they say the rest is history....I love him and he loves me and we all wait our entire lives for this kind of love!!

God sent mine to me in September 2001. Have a blessed day! I love you all!! =)
