New year? What's wrong with the old one?
I don't know about you but this year has been on hell of a year. It started out ok. Things were looking good. Things were actually looking up. I was working as a utility in Everett, and ok with the pay I was getting. Despite having to give over 2k a month to my ex. I had a girlfriend. Well she was more into it than I was. Things were going pretty much good. I lost a friend along the way, but the first couple months were ok. Then those ole' winds of change started blowing. But it was a different wind this time. I couldn't tell what exactly where the winds were coming from or where they were going to send me. But I am willing to allow the winds to guide me where they will. Nothing was happening at first. It was status quo. I was content with the life I had. I was unhappy most times, but I dealt with those emotions. I didn't really have much to complain about. I mean I had my health, I had my children, and I had a job. Why complain? Then in May things started to change. I saw something in front of me that I had always thought that was unable to be achieved. But there were those pesky old winds blowing me. Almost forcing me to try. To go to the unknown. The thing was a woman. And not just a woman. A beautiful woman named Michelle. A doctor. It was the doctor that made me hesitant. She wasn't my doctor, she was my dogs doctor. Yeah you heard me she is a Veterinarian. But still someone or something that was outside of my grasp. Or so I thought. So I stepped outside of my comfort zone and I sent a text. I was still with my girlfriend and she had a boyfriend. But I still felt compelled to talk to her. It was simple at first, just a text to tell her I had a new kitten. But then we started texting more and more. I had to know everything about her. I felt compelled to learn about her in every way. Then one night in the midst of texting back and forth she called me. She called me. I was completely taken back. But it was what I wanted. We quickly grew to be very good friends. And we both realized that neither one of us were happy in our current relationships. But we weren't willing to put an end to our currents. We were both fighters.
You know its funny how sometimes the hands of fate seem to reach in and help you out. Well this is one of those times. I loved talking to her... I couldn't get enough of her. Then it seemed in one fail swoop we were both single. But not to any of our designs. Her ex dropped her for some stupid reason and she was tired of having to fight for him. My ex..... well lets just say I was tired of her stupid bullshit and I finally just dumped her. I couldn't take the mental stress any longer. So Michelle leaned on each other for support. We both had plans for the 4th of July with our previous partners. But being as we were both single I asked her to spend it with me. Which is one of the best nights I could have ever had. We went to my friends Jim & Gretchens house for a party and I felt relaxed and happy. I was told by Gretchen that she really liked Michelle. Which for me is a big thing because she didn't really say whether or not she liked me ex. We kept talking more and more. I spent more and more time with her. She provided the most memorable birthday I had had in a very long time. Then to top it all off she gave me the greatest gift. My family. I flew home to Indiana with my boys in August. It was the first time my parents had ever met my youngest son Colby. And it was while I was there that I realized that I needed to be with Michelle. I couldn't see myself ever being without her. She was the culmination to everything I had ever wanted. So I came home and basically asked her to be my girlfriend. My way of asking her was a little odd. I was sitting on her couch and I changed my Facebook profile status to being in a relationship. She looked at me and smiled. She didn't say yes or no at first. But then when I came home that night I saw that she had changed her profile as well to say that she was in a relationship with me. I was the happiest man on the planet. I felt almost complete. I can honestly say that I love her with all my heart. I know it sounds weird but I can't ever see myself without her in my life. She loves my kids. My kids like her. She is accepting of my downfalls and short comings. And she is opening and expanding my eyes and vision to a whole new world. A world that I always wanted to be apart of but didn't know how to achieve it. She is supportive to my dreams. She loves my art in photography. I am so glad that I have met and brought Michelle into my life. Even my friends at work can tell that I am with her. Not just by people reading my Facebook. But people ask me because I am in so much of a better mood and disposition. She is the reason why my 2010 ended in such the perfect way. And I can't wait for 2011......
To every ending there is a new beginning.... And this beginning is looking awesome.
Michelle.... You will have every kind of kiss, in every kind of way in every possible place when we are together.
