How I met my Husband

Let me tell you a story..

August 2003 I walked into my new job, I was being introduced around and suddenly there he is, my heart started racing then as my eyes are looking him over what do I see ?? You got it a wedding ring, boy did my heart drop. Funny thing is he and I slowly became friends and found out we had many things in common. We started talking on MSN every night, he would tell me about his marriage, talk about his daughter. I found myself falling in love with him, however I was having a hell of an internal debate, I was not going to be the other woman. My husband marriage had already hit speed bumps before me, he had separated from his wife for two years and he had just gone back this past year, things hadn't really changed for them though. In my head I said do I buy this story? My heart was telling me he was sincere.

My husband calls me on the weekend and says to me I need to talk to you can I come over? Sure I reply, he comes over and needless to say my family is not happy they are worried I am setting myself up for a world of hurt. At this point I feel like telling them it's too late I am in love with him already. At this point I tell my husband that whatever decision he makes has to be for the sake of his daughter how he wants her to see a marriage is, no decision should be made based on what could be for us. Against all my rules we shared our first kiss that day before he left to think about our discussion.. My heart was pounding.

At this point I am sure you know what happened. You got it my husband decided he wanted his daughter to see an affectionate relationship. He was very careful not to bring me into her life right away. He was very smart that way. He also likes to point out that I asked him to marry me.

I now have a wonderful family... I have a husband who cherishes me and spoils me. My stepdaughter is as much mine as she is her moms. I wonder sometimes how I got so lucky?

Moral of my story sometimes you have to let your heart lead not your head ...

Darling I know you will read this.. To you I say thank you for wishing for me ..I love you with all my heart.

Baxter

It's a small pic but here is Baxter at 5 weeks old. Needless to say he is no longer that small he weigs in at a whopping 110lbs..

My dogs

I am an animal lover, I have two dogs that I absolutely adore. Sasha is my 8 year old black lab/border collie cross, she's calm and very ladylike so much so I call her my princess. Baxter is my 6 year old black lab/german shepherd/husky mix, he's my devil everything sasha is he's the opposite. She'll lay there waiting for you to pay attention to her, he will let you know precisely when he's had enough of being ignored or when he want's his cookies.

They've had to go through some changes over the past 5 years since I met my husband. They used to have my full attention now they don't get as much. They use to share my bed with me now they aren't allowed in the bedroom, we've even started keeping them out of my stepdaughters bedroom when she is not there.

Through all of this they remain faithful and loving to me. recently Sasha tore a ligament in her knee, I've been told that it will heal from some and from others it will never heal unless I have surgery done. Obviously the vets want me to do the surgery, however as much as I adore my dogs I can't justify spending 4 thousand on a surgery for her. Does that make me a bad owner? Somedays I think yes.

My husband and I are both allergic to them, I chose to have them before my wonderful husband came into the picture so for me he puts up with the sniffles, the dog hair, the drool. Sometimes I try to imagine what it would be like without them, I know life would be easier but I know my heart would miss them. What I do know is after they are gone, I won't be replacing them. They are at the moment my babies.

Wii Fit

So today I am reading about the new Wii fit.. last Christmas I got my husband the Wii.. Now not being a big gamer there arent' many games that interest me. I got the endless ocean game but shame on me I haven't played it much.

Now I know I have a few pounds to shed, and all my good intentions of going to a gym well lets say they really were good intentions. I also keep thinking about going out to run every morning but the weather here just doesn't make it easy to motivate oneself. So next best step? Exercise in my own home. Now the trick is to convince my husband to buy it for me easy right? Wrong. Because I am always full of good intentions he doesn't believe me when I say I am going to do this minimum 3 morning a week. So he's asking me now what happens when you don't do it three mornings a week.. What kind of answer am I supposed to give to that? I don't know myself. Ido know I need and want to get fit againand that I want to do in in the privacy of my own home. So where do we go ffrom here? I myself have no answer to that question.

Horoscope

This sorta ties in with my previous post ..

Dirty Secret

OK here's my dirty secret I can 100% say that I am addicted to WoW. What is WoW you ask? It's an acronym for World of Warcraft. What is World of Warcraft you ask, well it's the best game ever! Actually to be honest the only real game I have ever played. I think my husband will agree with me that I am addicted to this game.

I started playing to see what was keeping him up all night. I don't think he ever expected me to get very far in the game. I literally fell in love with just about everything in the game. I can't stop playing or creating new characters. I'll tell you honestly what keeps me playing, it's the people I have met in game. Not literally met but these people I talk to every day, some come from as far away as Sweden and Japan and some well almost next door. So many different personalities all gathered together to share hours of gaming fun and sometimes frustration. If I get a chance later I will post a picture of my toon.. She is the other me.

My husband and I choose to play this game over getting cable t.v. However just recently I had to make him a promise to cut back playing. This game was consuming all my time when I wasn't working. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I quit the game altogether.. but I just can't see myself doing that so for now.. Darling you'll just have to play WoW a littl while longer ;)

Summer Vacations

So here we are nearing summertime once again and the big decision must be made.. What to do this summer? Last year we took my step-daughter to Disney and swore it would be 5 or so years before we did it again. This Christmas my husband got the idea in his head of taking her again to Disney before she turns 10, once she turns 10 it's all aldult prices.

I started looking in Jan at prices and flights but my husband chose to wait.. This last week has been spent trying to figure out if we should still go or no. Flights got so ridiculously high in prices and to top it off the little one has decided she does like to fly, so we were trying to find direct flights. Lo and behold Air Canada came up with a deal *cough* *cough* and our vacation is now booked.

That being said, planning a vacation I realized is not relaxing, it is very stress filled especially for a Disney vacation. Plan your meals at what park, oops what park is open earlier or stays open late. The vacation itself is really not relaxing either when you think of it 8 days on the go constantly so that you get your moneys worth.

So I ask you is going away during your holiday really a good idea? Can you really say that you come back to work relaxed?
