New Life

Sunday we showed up to work with wrist bands from the night before.

What a great time. We went shopping and bar hopping.

My Love bought me a new outfit since I really didn't bring much to work with.

Now that I was back I was sad. I decided I would, in fact be up there every weekend. I would take my babies on the weekends that their daddy didn't have them. And It would be fine. My Love absolutely adored them.

I told my friends I was in love with this man, and that I wanted to move to his new city with him.

They were a little shocked at first but kind of expected it.

I had planned to go in about a year. No one really knew except the people closest to me.

I would lay in my bed and talk to him all night until I fell asleep... How was I going to make it 8 months....

One weekend I called in to work, said I had a doctors appointment. I shouldn't have lied it bit me in the butt.

I showed up 3 days in a row with out a doctors note.

My Supervisor suggested I go home and get it to keep my job. I called My Love and asked him to come get me. I didn't have a note. Nor did I have a doctors appointment that weekend.

He pulled up out front, got out of the car, and sat on the hood were everyone could see him through the windows. He was my knight in shining armor. And we wanted the world to know we were in love and destined to be together.

We spontaneously decided that was my last day, and immediately started packing my bags.

My ex was crushed. I was really taking the loves of his life away. 2 hours away.

But, For our happiness and their more fortunate future life, I would do anything.

My Love had bought me a shirt with his new city written in big bold letters. He called one morning really early to say he had found us an apartment, fully furnished. We didn't have anything except a bed and one crib. The exes took everything. But I wouldn't have it any other way. I wanted to start over.  

I had packed up my entire car and worn that shirt to my job to pick up my last check. It was like a revenge to all of those that doubted us.

My babies and I hit the road. That night when we got there, the apartment was not ready yet. so we stayed with a friend of his that he has known his entire life.

Eager to get our keys to our first place, we woke up at the crack of dawn.

My Love was working when I got the keys. The furniture couldn't be delivered until the next day. So we borrowed an air mattress. We all piled up on the air mattress... My babies and My Love fell asleep before me, and though we had nothing, I had everything I wanted...
