I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
He left me for another woman but we were young and were still finding our way in the world (he still is). Meanwhile I met another man and had a child. When my son was 2 I was a single parent and Sonny's mother invited me to her 50th birthday. I accepted the invitation not expecting Sonny to be there. But when I got there, there was this tall red bearded figure right up the back yard. I walked up there and all I could do was smile, I still loved him as much as I did when I was 16. He puffed his chest out walked around like a rooster and I laughed at him and told him that he needn't do that cause I know him. He looked at me and smiled and coyly said ok. We then talked and talked all night. I went to bed and he told me he came in when I was sleeping and just watched me sleeping thinking I was so beautiful. This stint we were together about 6 months when his life took a change and I couldn't accept where he was headed and he didn't really want to take my son and I through it so we went our separate ways again.... still loving each other though. I then went back to my sons father and became engaged to him. Sonny rang me from gaol and wished me all the best and made me a gorgeous jewellery box made out of wood. I cried on my engagement night I should have known then that Sonny was the one I was meant to be with. when my son was 6 I went and visited Sonny's sister for her bday (seems to be a theme running with bdays) he happened to be there I was still with my son's father not married though. That night Sonny hopped down on one knee and proposed to me I told him I couldn't answer that yet and cried for three days. Went back to Jaidyn's dad and told him I was leaving. My son's father made it impossible to leave (not the nicest partner in the world for me) So I stayed unhappily there for the next 2 years until one day when Jaidyn's father hadn't come home for 3 days I got up and got my hair done got into the car and drove to see Sonny. I hadn't spoken to him for about a year. I didn't know if he was with someone or not. I knew he was planning to move. After the 5 hour drive I hopped out the car and fell into his arms I knew at that point I was home there is no other for me. He moved me back to my family until his parole had finished to come and join me. He moved here last October by January I was pregnant with his first child and we are planning on getting married next year on 11.11.08. We've always taken the rockiest road possible but our love for each other has never died we accept each other for what we are and try not to judge each other but try to understand what we are going through.
I had been going to my church for nearly all my life and was actively involved in the committee of my college age Sunday school. Because I was one of the leaders, it was part of my responsibility to meet and greet all the visitors who came to our class. One day, this gorgeous, shy guy walked into class, and I went up and introduced myself to him, along with all the other people in the room of course. Part of our ministry at the time was to visit our visitors at their homes to share with them and make them feel like they were welcome back to our class. His name was not on my list, but the people who visited him said that he loved our class and wanted to come to our Friday night bible studies but needed a ride. I was the person who lived closest to him, so I volunteered to give him a ride. That Friday, my brothers and I picked him up and drove to Bible study, and after, we all went to play laser tag. He and I went in the same car and sat next to each other. I was amazed at this guy's passion for life and for God. He astounded me with how on fire he was to share his beliefs and how God had changed his life. I found myself developing quite a crush on him in only a few short hours, lol. We also started talking about our general interests and found that we had a lot in common...namely reading. That first Friday started an incredible friendship, and we were inseparable, but we didn't start dating. Everyone joked around that we should date, but it just didn't feel right at the time. We soon became the best of friends and loved each other as friends and siblings in Christ. Our friendship was so wonderful, but there was always something more there. We had a lot of bumps because of that "something." We always gave each other mixed messages and would jump back and forth from wanting to be with the other person and not wanting to be with them. Finally, one day, we were at Pink's hot dog stand in Hollywood and he asked me to be his girlfriend. Five months later, we knew that God wanted us to be together for the rest of our lives, and two months after that, my love came into my bedroom while I was waking up and proposed to me. We were married almost a year later.
You have no idea how much prayer and patience went into this relationship. I had a history of rushing into things and thinking with only my heart and ignoring my head, but this relationship went at God's pace and blossomed in God's time. It was amazing to see Him unfolding the love story He wrote out for us. :-)
I met Stephen at my apartment actually. I was 18 and living with my best friend. We lived in a community that had a lot of young people, so there were lots of parties at different apartments at all times. There was a night that I was working actually, my friend met a guy that was just walking through the courtyard on his way to another apartment. He came by every once in awhile after that, and one night he brought Stephen. I was living with a few girls at the time... and we had a habit of sometimes going for the same guy... lol. But when I saw Stephen... I took them into my room, and told them... this one is mine, so don't even think about it. We hung out that night, and were pretty much inseperable ever since. He was very open and up front about the fact that he had been in prison once before, and I was fine with that. I have always been into the bad boy type. lol. (oh how I wish now that it was just a "look" for him) I remember the night we became "exclusive" like it was yesterday. It was mother's day of 2004, and I worked a double shift at my restaurant job. I came home exhausted and crabby after dealing with customers all day, and he called me. Instantly, everything else in my mind dissappeared. I was planning on asking him what we "were" but was too nervous about it. It was like he read my mind that night, and he brought it up... so we decided to be exclusively together. He is just such a wonderful soul, and has been through so much in his life... things I can not even imagine. He told me not too long after we started dating that this was going to be a bumpy ride, and hoped that I wouldn't give up on him like everyone else has. I made a promise to him that night that I wouldn't... and I have kept that promise, and will continue to for the rest of my life. We still talk about that day often... and it brings tears to my eyes to think about it now. Such wonderful memories we all have here, and I can't wait until we are able to start making more...
