Shedding the Weight

Lamonte


Well what can I say.....I'm officially IN LOVE. I have found the most wonderful man. We actually met on myspace which yes I will agree was probably not the best start. But hey, whatever works right? After months of flirting, dating, and basically me continuing to run the other way, I finally decided to stop running. Why was I pushing someone who seemed to care about me so much away? Why? Because I was scared. I've had my heart broken so many times, I didn't want to go through it again. So I gave in, let him in, and we became official October 1, 2007. =) We had a bumpy start. I still tried to distance myself. NEWSFLASH: You should not distance yourself from your own boyfriend! He never gave up on me though. I drove him crazy with my mood swings, selfishness, and being very indecisive but he stuck in there. Don't get it twisted though. He has his flaws too. I learned something though. When you love someone as much as we love eachother, you are able to see past ALL flaws. And once you can do that, you can truly LOVE someone. This is exactly what has happened to us. I love this man more than anyone I've ever loved before. He is my lover and my bestfriend. He was there for me when Nick passed away and sometimes I wonder if he was not brought to me by Nick. Nick always wanted me to be happy and didn't agree with my choice in the men I would date so I feel like he picked Lamonte out just for me. I know he'd be proud to see me finally happy and loved. He's my angel.
Sure we have our ups and downs and definitely are far from perfect but thats what makes it so great. Our relationship grows each and every day and I'm looking forward to years and years of happiness with him. I am so greatful to have him in my life and I'm amazed at how it feels to truly be in love.

3/4/08 Recap time

Wow. It has been awhile since my last blog. This is once again, another attempt at trying to blog on a regular basis. So much has happened since my last blog. Here's a recap:


August 5, 2007 - I offically began working at Celerity. They ended up moving our accounting department at Broadwing to Colorado so getting a job with Celerity seemed like the perfect opportunity. While it will never amount to my job at Broadwing I am starting to become more comfortable there.

September 7, 2007 - Nick lost his battle with cancer. I will blog about this more in depth at a later date. For now, just know that he is greatly missed and that he was someone I admired. He was one of my bestfriends/stepfather.

October 1, 2007 - Lamonte and I made our relationship official He's the most wonderful man and I'm so happy he came into my life. I will fill you in on him in my next blog. =)

December 1, 2007 - Brittany and I officially moved in together. We decided to try this out. There have been many ups and downs but overall it hasn't been that bad. I love having my sister around and I would rather live with her than anyone else. We'll see how this goes.

February 2007 - My mom started dating again. Um...yeah. Not the easiest thing for me to handle. There will be a blog about this as well coming.

Other than that, same old same old. I am working my butt off at two jobs. I started working on the side at the salon Alexis works out. I basically just get paid to put make-up on little girls, fix their hair (lol, i have no idea what i'm doing), and paint their nails. Not bad for a part time gig huh. Tons of fun and I get paid for it. Yay! I recently decided to tackle the whole weightloss thing. It's funny....I started this blog over a year ago just to talk about this battle. Unfortunately, I did not put enough effort into it and have actually gained since then. I am determined now and with the support from friends/family I know I will succeed. Lamonte is devoting his time to helping me achieve my goals which I love him even more for.

Stay tuned......
