My Story Continued

I was born in 1974 on June 7 in San Jose, California. I have dark blue eyes and brown hair. I am about 5'4" and slightly overweight.

What more can I say... I grew up and was relatively happy doing so.. At the age of 9, I found out I had cancer, but was lucky enough to survive it. It has now been more than 15 years since I had cancer, and I am still healthy and cancer free.

My teenage years were pretty typical, I went to school, went out with friends, and had a part-time job my senior year. I met my husband when I was still in high school, we married right after I graduated, what a mistake that turned out to be. At the time though, I thought my life would be if not perfect at least happy, but I have since then learned a hard and bitter lesson�

We were married for almost ten years and have 2 beautiful kids together. Up until the end of 2001, I had thought we were doing good and that we were for all intent and purposes happy. I guess I was very wrong.

A year after my second child was born, I decided to go back to school. So, I went to school to become a Back Office Medical Assistant. I finished school in September of 2001 and was never able to find a job. I am now going back on the path to school to get my RN so I can work in an ER trama unit.

Aside from going to school, 2001 proved to be the beginning of the end for my husband and myself. We are now in the beginning of 2002, and I can no longer be certain of my relationship with my husband due to an outside influence. The outside influence proved to be more than I could handle after my husband asked me to share him and his heart with the other person. Well, I just couldn't do it and now we are in the stages of a very messy divorce.

I am doing my best to keep my children out of the middle, but for some reason my ex insists that that is where I am putting them. He couldn't be more wrong, as I love my kids too much to allow them to be hurt by this divorce and his thoughtlessness.

It's now 2003, and I have been dating a wonderful man for the past year now and he has been absolutely wonderful for me and for my kids. We are talking about getting married as soon as my divorce is final. I can't wait, it will be the best move for not just me, but my kids also.

My divorce became final on July 25, and I couldn't be more happy about it. The deadbeat who was my husband is now history and everyone involved is much happier for it. My fiance and I are finally able to tie the knot and be together.

My fiance and I got married on September 6, 2003. The ceremony was beautiful and private, with family and close friends only. The kids are very well adjusted to the change and are rather happy with it.

Matt and I have now been married for 3 wonderful months. In the beginning of November, we found out that we are expecting our first child. The baby will be due on July 16, 2004.
