The Ups and Downs of My Life

September 10, 2020

I can’t believe it’s been nine years since I said “I Do” to my amazing husband, Mike. Sure, we’ve had our ups and downs, like all marriages, but together, we have been so supportive of each other and have been able to get through everything. To think, we had to wait twelve or thirteen years to reconnect after our first meeting (well, if you count it really as a meeting).

You see, this is both mine and Mike’s second marriage. We have both been previously married (me for 10 years and Mike for 8 years) and neither went as planned. We reconnected after meeting again on a dating app in 2009. We started dating and one thing led to another. We always joke that we need to make it longer than our last relationships. We are almost there!! We just need to get through our tenth anniversary in 2021.

This isn’t a typical romance story that you read everyday. This is the story of my life. I have had good times and bad, but everything I’ve gone through has made me stronger and the woman I am today! I couldn’t have gotten to where I am without the support of my parents, my children and my husband.

If you choose to read this story, please only provide positive comments. I’ve had so much negativity over the years and I don’t need that right now. If you find a mistake, please send me a message and I will fix it as soon as I’m able. There will be time jumps as I don’t want to bore you with every detail of my life, but you will get to know things I’ve been through when I was young, married the first time and how my life improved in the last ten years. I will not go into extreme details to keep things moving, but if you are really interested in more, please message me privately.
