Well, in case you haven't noticed.........I put a couple of pictures on my blog. I am learning my way around (just a little) on how to do some things on my blog page. Now, when you open my blog, there is a picture of a hummingbird. I just love them. In fact, I love them so much I have a small tatoo of a hummingbird on my right ankle. I also posted a picture of me and my high school sweethart from 1973. He was my first love. His name is David. We parted on bad terms only because we were so young and spiteful at the time. I never really got over him, but because I was so uneducated about life and relationships at the age of 16, I left him. Any way, that's another story (very personal). We went our separate ways over 30 years ago. When I got divorced, I started looking up friends that I had lost contact with and decided to try to find Dave. I needed to get a lot of things off my chest and needed closure from our bad departure. I was starting anew and needed a clean slate. I knew what state he was in, but when I looked up his name, about 30 people popped up! So I looked up his brother and called him to ask for Dave's e-mail address. I e-mailed Dave with a question that only he would know the answer to and I did not sign my name. He knew exactly who I was by the question. The rest is history! We started dating (long distance), I lived in Illinois and he lived in Tennessee. He would come to see me and then I would go see him. This went on for about a year. When my place of employment closed, Dave asked me to move to Tennessee. So, here I am in Tennessee! The second picture is of Dave and I in Biloxi, Mississippi in 2004. We were visiting some of his family. Our relationship is not what I expected it to be, but then again, the expection came from an unhappy wife who used to fantisize about what might have been. We have been together now for 6 1/2 years so I guess its going better than I think it is. We both came into it with plenty of luggage from the past.
I am really very shy when it comes to posting pictures (stems from bad self image), so hope you liked the ones I chose. Have a great day! :)

I forgot to spell check my post and have noticed some misspelled words. Please excuse any errors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story Michelle! That's so cool that you got back together with your first love, how awesome.
ReplyDeleteIf you get on facebook, you'd be amazed at the people from your past who you could find. I'm 35, and I've reunited with people from GRADE school, if you can believe that.
It took a lot of courage to contact Dave, and I can relate. By no mean are me and my ex ever getting back together. But I had to muster up the nerve, once I found him on facebook, to let him know how I really felt. And make sure he knew what a bastard (to put it mildly) I thought he was about how he behaved when we were together.
It really makes a difference to drop off that baggage when you get the opportuniy. The effort you made to get rid of your baggage had the best possible result, so congradulations.
PS. Your pictures are great, you look very happy, and purple is one of my favorite colors...What's not to like? :)
Michelle , I too wa married long ago and never have looked back.I only pray the lord does to him what he has done to us ,ME and the kids. I met my partenar 20 years ago now he was married as well (bad one) so nether of us are looking to do it again, maybe some day. But we get along so well that others are jellious . we do not fight over dumb stuff like money ,we try to find salutions to problems instead of fighting. as far as the in-laws go as long as you are both happy think of it as your farrie tale not theirs. great pics .PS> purple is my fav.
