James an I met at the cesspool we work at. We had been friends since the track opened April 2008. Much to his dislike we were just friends. Trust me, I wanted to pursue him, but my marriage was rocky and it needed all of my energy that summer. After Tim left I mostly just sat at home. James visited me after work a few times, We talked on the phone a lot. A relationship formed so easily, like it was always meant to be there.
Yea it was really soon that We chose to be committed, and in retrospect, it was the only choice. I know the concern my parents and family had. They really thought that was it was too soon, that is was a bad idea. They thought I should wait longer, and maybe Tim and I would work out. Again, they didn't know the whole story. I think this is where the black sheep title really stemmed from. Who knows what their wishes truly were, no one really told me the truth, they still aren't.
James is an amazing man, He is kind and funny. We are so perfect together. We get along great and We have so much fun together. We live in casa rojo, in Centuria WI. Its a crappy little town. James has 3 daughters; Mikayla, Courtney, and Kyrsten. They are wonderful, They get along with Logan just great. We have a very quiet, peaceful existence. We spend a lot of time at home, and doing things as a family.
I am trying very hard to get my family to know us, our family. To accept us. Although I am not getting very far with it. I see the looks we get and no one really talks to us anymore. I hope, I have to hope that someday we will be treated as a part of it, and not outsiders. I am excited for things like Halloween, and thanksgiving. But am hesitant as the bonfire party didn't go very well, We were stared at, and ignored. We are looked at as if we are not accepted. This is the main reason that I decided to go public with this blog. I have no desire to conform to any ones standards, but I would really like everyone to understand, whether they accept us or not.
Honestly, Bethany, I always thought you were right to divorce Tim and I've always said so, anyone who thinks you should have stayed together comes from an entirely different time. I feel slightly offended that you are grouping all of us together when its only a small few that are against your divorce. By the way I also felt stared at and ignored at the bonfire but for a different reason. I think you need to be yourself and have a good time and don't worry about what people say.
ReplyDeleteI was very excited to meet James. He is such a gentleman and I look forward to getting to know him better. I like you a lot better without Tim. Just to let you know. You seem happier and more yourself.
ReplyDeleteAnd like Robyn said... don't worry about other people just be yourself. I think we could all take that advice.
