It's been a long time since I've posted...

Hi everyone..It's been such a long time since I've posted...Alot has happened since then...First, I finally made that jump on my own to purchase a new car..I bought a nice SUV..It's beautiful and so happy with it...I felt great to see I could do it all by myself...It's a 2009 Buick Enclave, silver and black leather interior...You're going to laugh because 2 things this truck had to have and one was seat warmers..yes, you heard me, warmers for my butt...I hate to sit in the cold..hahah, and second was a sunroof...I hadn't had one since my first car..and that was back in 1987...Yup, a long, long time ago...

The girls are doing ok..They had some new adjustments to contend with...I met a childhood friend that I hadn't seen in over 20 yrs....His name is Patrick...I did finally take the chance in love dept. again...I started dating him..It's been almost 3 mths now and it's really nice to have someone that loves and cares about you...This is a new life..I new everything...I grew up with him and his sister..My childhood BF, she too is a Michelle...yeah Michelle and Michelle, my dad used to call us "Partners in Crime"..Geez, I wonder why..(chuckling)..Pat is a very sweet and honest man..He hasn't changed must since we were young teenagers..Of course we all mature but the basic fundamentals are still the same..A kid at heart...He has 2 girls of his own, Nicole (9) and Christina (6)..They are very sweet girls...Kaitlin, my youngest has adjusted better to Pat, she knows he's not here to replace Daddy..No one could replace Otto..But, the older ones on the other hand, they are ok with it one minute and not the next...But, I understand..They inturn will understand that I too need to live my life and be happy again...Life is very short and I feel in my heart the best way to honor my late husband is to live the best life I can...

I think of Otto everyday, he's still apart of my life...I told our girls that because I'm with someone new, I don't forget the life I had with their dad, I just can't live in that life anymore because he's not here...I hope that they will give Pat a chance because he's a good guy...I wouldn't have a man in my life if he wasn't...

Well, I hope everyone has been doing well, and I'm sorry I was away for such a long while...I will try to post more readily like i used too...
My love to you all and a big hug...
