“The world is full of people who will go their whole lives and not actually LIVE one day. She did not intend on being one of them.” {when faith in myself was so strong that I believed I could move mountains.} -curly girl design
I really feel that I have been able to be so real with the world and thought I would catch you up as to where things are currently landing in this reconciliation process. Almost three months ago I told the world a reality that I never thought could possibly be a reality. Feel free to read it here: In The Light. My husband made some poor choices, & had an affair. Upon hearing the news I have chosen to stay by his side & walk in forgiveness!!! I just laugh at reflecting back through the last three months. I honestly NEVER thought I would even make it three months, but hallellujah I have!! Praying I make it three + & a lifetime more… LOL! It’s been a journey, up’s & down’s, shouts & tears, stress & laughter, and everything in between! Literally my life got turned upside down & shaken to the core. Not always easy, but we are chosing each other!!!! I am seeing an amazing counselor once a week, and as a couple we are seeing the most amazing counselors on the planet! I know that we would not be where we are if we hadn’t been assigned to these two! Thank you, Berry & Lori, from the botton of our hearts!!!! The kids are doing good, coming along. If you could keep them in your prayers, especially, that would be wonderful. We are committed to each other & to our children & Praise the Lord we will WIN this battle & declare VICTORY over our lives!!!
The last couple of days have probably been some of the toughest days that I have had to walk through in all of this process. I checked the mail about an hour ago, and I had two cards & a gift! Earlier today, I had a dear friend stop by with a Starbucks & a few gifts!!!! Teary Eyed!! Seriously, I am in such awe. Thank you, friends, you know who you are, for holding my arms up & cheering me on! It means so much! My family thanks you!!!! From the bottom of my heart may you be blessed above & beyond for loving us with such grace & compassion & seeing the best even though the window seems so cloudy.
I love my iPhone… It takes the best “end of the day” pictures! I had to photograph all the love!!!! It truly means more than you’ll ever know!! I think I’ll be making it through this week!!
and me… I was down in the city a few weeks ago with some friends & I felt “HAPPY” for the first time in a long time!!! It’s comin’ back– I know— A happy me!!! Thanks, Mandye, for capturing my joy!

I love pictures that capture my true essence like the one that is up above of you and that is your current AVATAR which makes me happy in and of itself……beenup2.com is blessed to have you back in it’s virtual life I tell ya. Here’s a poem for you that was given to me from my best friend, Briana Vigil, before she passed(graduation to Heaven 2-20-05):
“When two people have shared
as much as you and I have;
when they’ve opened up their hearts,
shared their dreams,
thoughts, and tears;
when they know each other
well enough to know if
sadness is hiding behind a smile;
when they’ve shared so many laughs–
then you can be sure
that they’re friends for life….
just like you and me.” Zoe Dellous
God blessed me with your friendship. I am honored to stand by your side anytime….anytime.
