Christmas Wishes in_search_of: Hello all! Its been a while since I have posted, having a new baby has made it a bit difficult to find time to be on here! I guess that means that graduated by accident! I hope that all are well. I got a card today from a dear ojarian who reminded me just how far I have come, and I thought that you would all take heart from hearing that life does go on!
I came to ojar after my divorce, because I had not moved on, I was working on it, but I was doing things that were self destructive and just generally unhelpful. I met tons of wonderful people here, and if you find friends here as I have, then count your blessings! (SS, JimS, Pic, Loshyra, Crushed, dj, among many many MANY others) Some of them I have met in person, some I have not, some I still keep in touch with, some not (Skav, you still alive out there?)
When I came here I was healing or so I thought by sleeping around, going out a lot, way too much, in fact. I talked it out here, spent time with people on ojar and finally have come to the point where I now sit.
I just returned from dinner with my BF's parents, who I adore, my BF is soundly asleep in the other room, and our darling, spoiled daughter is sleeping next to me in her bouncy chair. I couldn't be happier. I start a new job in a few days, we bought a new car a few months ago, and I graduated and passed the bar this summer. And last but not least Amelia was born in Nov. Its been a wild ride, and if you asked anyone who knew me 2 years ago or even a year ago if I could possibly be where I am and be happy, they would have laughed right there in your face.
I met my BF after taking up a hobby (playing poker at the local bars, with a good friend of mine at school) we started dating, I saw it going well, and fast, and decided to end it. I talked to him a few days later because I needed someone to save me from a creepy stalker kind of guy, and shortly thereafter, became comfortable with us being us, and me being happy and part of a couple. It took time, and practice, and patience, and kissing a whole lot of frogs. But I got here.
We decided to move in together in february, found out I was pregnant in march, did our actual moving in march, and have been living together since. We are about to move to another place so that we have more space for the baby.
Its been a wild ride. But we have both survived virtually unscathed.
Amelia is doing beautifully, putting on weight like a champ, and growing like a weed (its almost sad to see....she was so tiny, and now she is getting to be such a little human) she coos and follows us around with her eyes and responds to people.
Good luck to all of you, and know that the road will be hard, but the results that you will see at the end WHEN (not if) you meet someone new will be worth it. you will have learned so much from the experience that you will take into the relationship, that you will be a much better person!
Love to you all!
