Here it goes...
I am moving.. again. This will be my 5th time in a year that I will be moving. It will be the last for quite some while... Topher and I are getting our own place. I am feeling beyond blessed to be able to take this step with him. And it is going to be a blast.
We have a place lined up, it is pretty much for sure.. Just waiting for them to do the last minute repairs before we give the deposit.
It is a two bedroom place, so Alex will have his own room. Kyle and I have decided on joint custody for Alex. I defiantly think it is the best situation. I get Alex, but I also do get my alone grownup time. Alex also gets time with his dad and grammy. Although Kyle and I are no longer together, I still care for him very much as a friend. I keep a very close relationship with Kyle and his family. It truly was the best thing for Kyle and I to split up. I was at a incredibly unhealthy point in my life, and Kyle and I were not happy.
I started a new shift at my job. I now work 6 AM to 3.. Which is actually really nice, I love getting off so early. Before I was getting off at 6:30 and did not really get a chance to enjoy my evenings. I also get to be around a younger age group. Before I was the older 2's teacher. I did enjoy it.. but some days I would be pulling my hair out. For 2 year olds it is a 1 to 7 ration. Yes, I had 7 two year olds during the day. Oh my goodness.. Now that I got bumped up to the 18-24 month room it is easier because it is a 1 to 4 ratio. They are a lot more cuddly, and can't talk back as much. =P
I also have been going to church again. I have always leaned towards the spiritual side, but when i went through my rebel teenage years I shelved if.
Since dating Topher I have started going to church with him. .. First off, finding someone in Utah who is religious.. and not Mormon? Awesome! The church he goes through is the exact thing I was looking for. Good music, non-judgmental. I am very much enjoying it.
Alex is getting bigger and bigger every day. The things he says always leaves me cracking up. He is really into superheros and comics right now. (Yes, my influence.) He loves going to the library and being outside. When I have him for the weekends we are always going on adventures. He has been going to "school" at my daycare and he loves it. He has lots of friends already, and loves his teacher. It is so cute that when i come get him to take him home he gets really upset and says he does not want to go home. He loves being around all his buddies.
Annnd, now on to Topher.
After going through a divorce, I was not looking for anything serious. I was dating, trying to bring my self esteem back up and get a feel for life again. I met Topher and from the first date we hit it off AMAZINGLY.
You could not separate us after that. Topher also recently went through a divorce, so we were trying to take it slow..
But I guess that was not meant for us.
It has only been 7 months but it feels like so much longer.
We are taking that next step with moving in together.. It is scary, but I really think it is the right choice.
So there it is! A rambling of stuff that has been going on.
I truly am happy and content with life. =)
