Surprises! =)

Today we (my parents and I) received a special visit from my niece Abby. It is always good to see my nieces. I love them all very much!!! When she walked in we could tell something was up. She said she had something to tell us. My mom and I both said you are pregnant and she said she is. I am very happy for her! She is due in April. She already has stopped her bad habits which are not so good. She feels bad for doing some of it while she is pregnant, but before she knew about it. I said you can't change the past, but work on the here and now. She and her boyfriend will not be getting married for that I am grateful for. A baby is no reason to get married in my opinion. I really am excited to be a Great Aunt again and this one will be in my life. She wants a boy and will be keeping the Neldon name alive which I am truly grateful for. =) For those who don't know Neldon is my amazing Grandpa Bowman's first name.

My niece told me years ago that she would have a baby and be a mom before me. *chuckles* Looks like she is right, but that is okay. It does sadden me some that I am a Great Aunt before I am a mom. That two of my nieces will be mom's before me. Oh well, such is the hand I was dealt. I am truly happy for her. My parents and I are totally supportive of her and her baby! We are all very supportive of her.

I think it is funny she came to me for advice because I am "so smart". LOL She asked me about vitamins and such like that. I find it cute, funny, and surprising that she came to me because I am not a mom, but I am really pleased that she trusts me enough to come to me and ask. There are several other women she could go to, but she chose me. I am very grateful that she feels like she can.

I will not be posting that I am going to be a Great Aunt again on Facebook because she has asked us not to and I completely understand and respect that, but she has said we can tell people. I am proud of the changes she is making for her baby. She will be a good mom! Oh another surprise she has asked me and my mother to help watch the baby while she works. I was so surprised. I didn't think she really liked or trusted me, but this goes to show she does! It has been a day of a few good surprises. =)

Yes, I won't lie and say it doesn't make me wonder if I will ever be a mom. If I will be able to carry a baby to term, but all this does not diminish my love and happiness for my niece! I am so blessed!!! =)

Fine Tuning

Earlier I realized something. I kinda went into hiding. Even hiding from online. I stayed offline. It got so bad I hid out in my room. I found out Wednesday, May 19 that Chad still hadn't been served all because he sent a forwarded email to me. I had contacted the police and found out than. It was said unofficially that it looks like he is hiding from them. I didn't realize how bad it scared me. I got to where I was afraid to go online because what if he tried to contact me online again? Or what if I was to go out in public and he was there. It was safer to be friends and not enemies with him. I heard him threaten his 1st ex wife more than once. Saying how bad he wanted to kill her and prison would be worth it. As I sit here and write this I write with the lights off and any lights or cars or anything that goes past our big front window I look out. I want and need to go back to church, but without the Protective Order what is to stop him from coming there. I know with it he ...

Do You Love Them Enough?

I started this shortly after a tragedy struck my friend and her family. Their sweet baby girl was only on this earth for a few hours before she returned to our Father in Heaven. It really made me think about this topic and I still have been thinking about it 6 months later. I started to write it than, but than my life fell apart. The man I eventually wanted to spend eternity with left me for someone else. My life fell apart. I am a very forgiving woman. I figured we could work it out. Yeah, now I don't want to at least not with him. I deserve better.  Now I just need to find faith in myself that I will return to that beautiful building above or any of the others on this earth. I miss it. I need it and I just need to one day go up and take a hold of the Spirit that is just there even on the grounds. I remember going to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and going into a sealing room. It had been 4 years since I had been in the temple. I remember thinking that the chain is broken in s...

HCG Diet Drops Decision

I have almost always been chubby not necessarily overweight that came later, than in high school with the onset of severe depression in 11 grade. I was able to hide the depression from most people but I missed 90% of my 11grade year and about 80% of my 12grade year. I didn't graduate with my class but I did a month and 3 days later later from Adult High School. After high school between medications, less activity, than I had I high school, depression, and other health problems I put on the weight. I became morbidly obese. According to my own scales I ended up getting up to 330 lbs with no pregnancies. I always had a self image that was smaller than I really was so that never really helped. I knew I was overweight but to what degree I was oblivious. Plus I knew that it kept the guys away from me which was an added benefit. That is until I turned 30 but 2 guys used me and one tried to rape me. The fourth I fell madly in love with. When he seen me naked for the first time I realized ...
