The big 2.3. And just like every other year I had anxiety about turning yet another year older, or younger, however you want to look at it. Yesterday was a great day filled with love and appreciation for everyone in my life. I spoiled myself with a trip to ulta, and a mani/pedi date with myself before I had posing practice and gym time. Then dallen took me to dinner at Sumisu and boy oh boy did I indulge. Sushi is the way to my soul! My mouth is watering just thinking of his wonderful the meal was. He got me flowers as well and they weren't roses! He for sure is a keeper after that. Then we went home and watched princess bride while I finished some homework then passed out! Overall it was a wonderful 23rd birthday!
As I was sitting in the massage chair getting my tootsies loved on, I reflected on the last year. So much has happened and so much has changed. People have come into my life and others have walked out of my life. I have moved across the country. I've been broken into tiny pieces and piece by piece picked myself up and put myself back together. I have found a fire within myself I never knew I had and committed to a new lifestyle. So much has changed in the last year and I never would have thought last year looking forward that I would be sitting right here, right now typing this.
I have wonderful friends that have stood by my side and supported me through this last year in every decision I've made and it means the world to me to have them on my side. I have an amazing boyfriend who supports me and cares about me so deeply and shows how much he truly cares everyday. He makes me smile and laugh and listens when I need to vent and be dramatic. Even if he thinks I'm being ridiculous he still listens and doesn't judge me. He is so selfless and kind I seriously can't believe he is in my life. I'm so fortunate to have him.
Dallen and I have quite the past. We met on MySpace, yes MySpace my friends, he added me and I had no idea who he was so I asked him if I knew him and he said no but he asked if my name was my real name, cause his middle name was storm. I saw he was from inkom so I figured I knew him from there. We sparked a conversation and I found out he had a girlfriend and that he lived across the street from my grandma. We talked and I knew that nothing would come of our conversation because he was in a relationship. So fast forward three months, he had broken up with his girlfriend while visiting his dad in Minnesota. We started liking each other and decided that when he got back that we would meet and hang out since we had only been talking through texting. After we met that summer we were always together we went to movies, took day trips to lava and went to salt lake shopping. After this trip we had graduated to talking through Facebook, and he asked me that night after salt lake if we could make our relationship official. I knew school would be starting school soon and that we would be in different schools( him at marsh valley and me at poky) I didn't and I didn't want to risk getting hurt by him getting back with his girlfriend. So we ended it.
So fast forward a year. Yes this is a long saga. Bear with me. So I'm sitting in my grandma's dining room and we are talking like usual I had just moved to Walla Walla Washington with my friend annelise and had come home for the weekend. And the phone rings no big deal, my grandma answers it and I pay no mind then she says "it's for you" I was puzzled who in the world would be calling me at my grandma's? Low and behold it was Dallen. He was in Walla Walla also playing basketball. I was astounded I hadn't talked to him in almost a year and here he was calling my grandma looking for my number to hang out. Weird right? Ha. So after I got back to Walla we hung out and I was so ecstatic and thought "this is it I finally get to have a relationship with him" nope ha he was single and ready to mingle so we once again went a different path. I moved to Alabama shortly after and had no contact with him.
Fast forward another year. I was on my way back to.Pocatello from Alabama and he text me saying he was going to be in town before leaving to Alaska to finish his college basketball career. We hung out while he was back, but again terrible timing.
Fast forward three years. I got married then divorced, and he finished up in Alaska and ended up back in Pocatello at ISU for his master's program. After I had filed for divorce he asked to hang out and come to find out he just live around the corner from me. So we casually hung out for a few weeks. Off and on.
Fast forward three months and here we are. In a relationship, and happier than ever. He supports me in everything I do. We do our own thing during the day, like classes and gym time, then at night or when we have time during the day we are together watching movies or just hanging out. No stress or anxiety just pure contentment. It's so fabulous being in a stress free relationship I can't even begin to tell you how refreshing it is.
Dallen is amazing and I couldn't be happier with where we are at.
So there is our saga:) it's not much but it's something.
Good things always have their own way of working out when we need them most.
