Time: 12:21am
State of Being: trying to chill
Song lyric in my head:
current desire: to quit wal-mart

what's that noise?: some random weird knocking noise. not creepy at all. Russ is out doing a midnight release on a game. just me..
10. What has been the biggest disappoiAntment in your life that turned out to be a blessing in disguise?
This is a hard one. I guess I want to say my ex. I was with and lived with Trey for a little over a year. I met him in October of 2005. He was an alcoholic. He was addicted to prescription pills. His family also had its share of similar bad habbits. They all ended up moving in with us for a few months. ALL. His mom, dad, sister, brother, brother's girlfriend, and brother's girlfriend's baby that doesn't belong to him. In a one bedroom apartment. Most of them slept in the living room. The brother and his party slept in the tiny closed in patio. And I witnessed the parents pop a variety of 40 pills at one time and proceed to pass out in the middle of eating. Even after they moved out, he was drunk every day to the point of puking everywhere. He would get up in the middle of the night and pee on walls and the edge of the bed. He had no car and no license so I drove a 160 mile round trip every day to get him to his work, including getting to my job which was the opposite direction of our apartment. We would fight every single day. Loud screamy fights. I would cry every day, and he would get so mad that I was crying. I couldn't do it anymore.
I broke it off with Trey in December of 2006. There were a couple random post break-up encounters, but I stopped talking to him in January of 2007. I decided that I missed FL. I needed to get away from everything and start new. On April 10th of 2007, I moved back to Florida. (Facebook still has that profile picture I made in the car on the way to FL lol. I had to check the date.) I met Russ (my now husband) on May 18th, 2007. The timing was perfect. He had just moved back to Florida too and broke up with his ex-wife. (they were pretty much mentally estranged for a while). We took it really slow, and finally ended getting married on May 18th 2013. 6 years to the day. w00t!
So everything happens for a reason. The most miserable time in my life was there just so i can meet the love of my life at the perfect time.
peace!
