PART 2

After that 3 year relationship had ended, I began to reach out to more people, have more fun, and was excited and ready for any new adventure that came my way. I was ready to meet an awesome man that I would spend my life with. I was now 31 years of age, I was going to church more…and could feel that I was actually beginning to trust that God was in control of my future (which I didn’t believe before) I was excited to see what was out there. Even though at times I was a sceptic, I was ready to meet my Prince (that is how it works…Isn’t it?) A Prince comes and rescues the average girl away with her 3 kids with special needs in an SUV? (A horse wouldn’t work in this situation) In “my” World…I believe anything is possible (at least I did then that’s for sure).

Las Vegas is a tough city to meet any “normal” guy, let alone a Prince. Therefore, I signed up for Match.Com around May of 2006. I knew summer was fast approaching and that meant the kids would be leaving for a month or two so I would have more time on my hands. Also, Match.Com, gave me the opportunity to screen the guys I was communicating with. I went on a couple…what I call meet & greets. I would meet them to have coffee before I actually agreed to go on a full on date. I didn’t want to waste mine or their time or money if there was no chemistry.. I didn’t really have much luck meeting anyone I thought was a fit, and I was just about to give up. Let me remind you, that whenever I met someone…I had to ask myself the question..”Is this person….Would this person be someone who would be good for my children? I think I actually met 3 or 4 men…and I was very open about my children & my life. I know it can be overwhelming to someone…but my kids are a HUGE part of me…so it needs to be a HUGE factor.

No luck. I expressed my frustration to my friend, Sjohnna..and she logged onto my account to seewhat I had listed on my profile. Before I knew it…I began getting emails after emails from Match.Com from men that I apparently “winked at” (this is Match.com lingo for persued). Sjohnna was sneaky! She logged on and found men that she believed could be a match for me. These were men I probably wouldn’t have picked for myself…plus I had never pursued any man before at anytime, anywhere…so this was a new thing to me period. Well, there is a funny story that goes along with this that I am not going to tell because it would take me too long. The bottom line is this is how I met Jase.

It’s been over 3 years since I met him. AND Wow! It has been a journey. A very eventful 3 years that has been filled with amazing moments, good times, some rough times, some really rough times, AND some life changing moments that I wasn’t aware of until the last couple days. I believe that I am suppose to share most of this journey with you, in order to be extremely authentic, in order to heal, and in order to acknowledge the truth. I will continue on tomorrow….

Until Next Time,

E
