Annette's blog: "life"

Well it has come and gone and I am so tired from all the running around. We went to his brothers house on saturday for a get together and visited one of his friends and styed up till 3 am baking for christmas. Sunday we went to his brother's for another gathering and did the present exchange there. Stayed up until 2am wrapping presents and cleaning the house. Monday we went to see my grandpa and Chris's kids and then had to get home and get dinner started at our house and finish cleaning we had my family thing at my house. Finally at 10pm we got to relax. And then of course i got sick yesterday so I have been battling a cold ughhh! And here we are coming up on new years my favorite holiday!

We went to get a tree last night and it was raining a bit so we sent the kids to the car after we picked out a tree. well Ty couldnt get in the car so he ran back across the parking lot without looking and a car was coming. I am not sure if me screaming for him to stop or what it was but he tried to stop and hit the front fender of the car. His head bounced off the car and he went down. He got up just as fast as he went down. He had someone watching over him thats for sure if he didnt try and stop he would be under that car. He is ok and has a nasty bruise on his check but thats it. I dont ever want to have to have that feeling again.

I have learned a lot in the past year. I had a bad relationship and stayed single for 8 months to just be me again. Along this jouney I found a great man that is everything i was wanting in a man. Now I had to re-adjust to life again and being with someone and not let my past relationship interfere with that. Not an easy task when you arent treated to well and was hurt a lot. So I had to learn to leave it behind and give the guy a chance maybe he would be different. So 6 months later we are still together and doing great. It is a wonderful feeling being with someone and knowing they want to be with you and want you a part of their lives. No control and trying to change the other just acceptance and love for who we are a beautiful thing. Been a very long time since I have felt that. It is amazing what you can find when you arent even looking. I have learned to let the little things go life is too short to get let them bother you. I have learned you must go through hell to truley apreciate the good in your life. I used to hate the fact that I wasted 5 years of my life with a man that wasnt for me. Now I see it as a great learning experience helped me figure out what I want in a man and what I am willing to deal with and what I cant. Learn to change that things you can and accept the things you can not.
