Imperfect Crazy Life

My fiance and I love to going camping but where we live right now we can't do the type of camping we love. Plus we don't get to go camping too often. I wanted to make date night at home extra special! I set our small 3 person tent up in the room. It has a mesh style top if you don't part the cover over it. I hang up white light on the ceiling to symbolize the stars. We made hot dogs on a electric grill. Then for dessert we ate s'mores I made earlier in the oven. After we eat dinner we laid back on several blankets and pillows and talk. A little game of truth or dare made our date night awesome!! This was extra special for us then a normal night of a movie or playing a game together. For the s'mores, I broke the graham crackers in half and lined them on a cookie sheet. Then I cut marshmallows in half and placed them on the graham crackers. Then I put the cookie sheet under the boiler. Let the marshmallows toast til they are nicely browned. Tak...

Seriously, I would have never imagined my life this way. It wasn't that long ago that I was in a loveless marriage. I was miserable and my health started to suffer. One day I decided that I have enough! Enough!!! So I changed my life. The first start was ending a 12 year marriage. It was scary, but I felt so relieved when I decided to go for it. I had my two kids to worry about. Shortly after this I meet the most amazing man, I could ever imagine. I always heard that opposites attract. Forget that! This is so far from my relationship right now. I have a lot in common with him. I love that he is the sweetest, caring man, I know. He makes me feel like I'm the most important person in the world. I just had a birthday. I was really looking forward to it because it has been years since I have. A few days before my birthday, Derek was starting to get really excited. He planned to celebrate my birthday the day before since he was scheduled a long shift and it was Monday. Derek mad...

If you are ever downtown Savannah, GA, I highly suggest trying out the Soda Pop Shoppe. It is a small but amazing sandwich shop. They make milkshakes and malt right in front of you. If you want to mix to flavors go for it! Little man suggests mixing chocolate with the mint chocolate. It cuts down on the mint flavor. I personally enjoyed the owner and his right hand man. Will and Steve make the visit special. With the Girl Scouts meeting near by the owner saw an opportunity to make a more kid friendly restaurant. Hot dogs and sandwiches! They also sell candy! I suggest putting away your phone before stepping in the store. You will miss out on a good lunch or dinner if you don't. There also is a sign near the register that says they will charge you a $1 if you're on the phone. Plus it's just respectful, simple as that. Take the time and look around the shop, you will find some funny and amazing things. When ordering a sandwich, try the all the way option. I promi...

         My life is imperfectly crazy, but I wouldn't want it any other way! In the last year my life has changed so much. After a long time living in a bad marriage, we had a house fire. Losing everything, it was time to start new. I filed for divorce. My kids were what I lived and fought for. I want them to have an amazing life. To know that you don't have to settle. My life start to improve! I meet the most amazing man in my life! As PERFECT as he is for me, he is just as imperfect as I am! He adores my kids and knew from day one that he had to accept them too! I couldn't ask for anyone better to be in my kids' lives. I am so proud of him and the life we are building together. Our lives aren't perfect and we are still learning every day! We are in it together and work as a team!!
