Hi everyone,
Welcome to my new blog. It is funny with me being someone who normally has a lot to say, I have never had one of these. So, here I begin. I have to think of something and I can't. So I will start with my children and what they are up to, and introduce my boyfriend:)
Matthew- Matt is 14 yrs old a freshman at Downers Grove North, my Alma mater. I am very proud of him that he is loving school. It was a hard thing we went through over the summer, when I decided to grant his wish of living with his dad, Mark. But besides some minor grade problems, he is doing well. He is finding his way, and becoming quite the handsome young man. He is 6 feet and a half inches tall and wears a size 13 shoe. He is HUGE. He has grown 7 inches in two short years. It is safe to say that he is no longer my baby boy :( He played football and loved it. And he wants to play all through high school. While I am still afraid of the sport, I am proud of him. He is still your typical teen, mouthing off and growing up fast. I cannot even believe in 4 short years, he will be in college. It is bittersweet. Matt and I have been at odds for so long, and we are FINALLY getting back to the way we were, best friends. baby steps, I say to myself all the time. Baby steps.
Joshua- Joshua is 6 and half yrs old. He keeps reminding us he will be 7 soon. He is a little too eager to grow up and is much older than his years, in intelligence. I am, of course, bias! His teacher says he is the smartest in his class. He read before kindergarten and is good at everything, sports wise. One day he wants to be a professional baseball player, the next it is soccer and last night it was hockey. The funny thing is, he is SO good, I would not be surprised if he plays something in college for sure. He has a passion for sports, like mama! Next up is his first time playing basketball, which I am sure he will then say he is going to the NBA one day! Ha! He is my over achiever, my talkaholic, sweet and honest(almost too honest) little lover boy. His smile melts you......
Megan-Megan is 17 yrs old. She is Daryl's daughter. She came into my life 2 years ago. She is a beautiful young woman and is also in a state of duress. being a teen is hard, this day and age. She is a tough cookie. She has a lot of love that we and my extended family have given her and hopefully one day, she will see us for what we are, and become a part of this family forever. We miss her terribly. But she will always be part of us, whether or not she feels it. We KNOW it.
Daryl- Oh, Daryl. Hmmm...what can I say about the man who has turned my world upside down? He is wonderful. He is handsome. He melts me with his smirk of a smile, every time. He is so smart, and he doesn't ever realize how much I learn from him everyday. He is the hardest working man I know, next to my dad, of course. He is the most UNSELFISH person I have ever met. A great man, a great friend and an unbelievable boyfriend. To live with him and be with him, is an honor I cherish. Sometimes, things aren't perfect, and that is OK. He teaches me that no matter what, he is not going anywhere, even when I mess up from time to time and turn into "Crazy Chrissy". Come on, we all have a little crazy in us, right? Daryl is also something else. He is a great DAD. It is sad to me that his own daughter and ex don't see this. But I see it everyday, with my kids. Whether or not he is theirs, he is so great to them. He knew stepping into this relationship with me, that I was a package deal. And although he may butt heads with them sometimes, he is so patient and caring with them. Our lives are better with him as a role model. We are truly blessed.
OK, so this is my family. Now that that is out of the way....I wonder what I will say next?
With love,
Chrissy
