I used to be. I have hit a major funk in my life. I don't know whether I am coming or going.<br />
<br />
I am getting used to being here in Buffalo grove IL . I am slowly getting to know people. The kids have a few friends. They live 2 doors down or a couple streets away and can walk over.<br />
<br />
I am getting used to driving and figuring out where every thing is.<br />

That day forever changed my life. It was a sunny day outside. 72 degrees .<br />
I married my best friend. We have had our share of joys and sadness or sickness and health . Share of moves. A lot of Heartache. But I wouldn't change my decision to be with him for all eternity.<br />

After all the hoops we had to jump through to get here. It was hard leaving behind Oshkosh Wisconsin. I left behind a lot of good friends and a good ward. The house is more then what I expected. I have a small cooking space compared to my huge gourmet kitchen where everything had a place. I have very limited cupboard and drawer space. But i can fit my table in there. The bedrooms are smaller than we were used to. I miss my huge walk in closets . But I am still able to fit 3 boys in 1 room. Minus a dresser that had to be put in the basement by the laundry room. I do have 2 full size bathrooms. I have a Huge fenced I back yard for the kids to play in . I can see them from my window. We can walk to school. Right across the street and field is Walmart and Sams club Mc Donald then across the street from that is Target staples Fannie Mae chocolates. If our vehicle breaks down we can bike or walk to where we need to go. Oshkosh It took awhile just to get to the store , bank church. Here I can walk to church if I leave early enough . there is even a park around the corner.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am so glad I put my trust in the Lord to make this journey. His hands were and are still guiding us I can feel his help every step of the way. It will take me awhile to get used to the new Ward. There is 3 meetings in the building so I don't know who belongs to what ward yet. I will get there.<br />
<br />
I am glad we decided to take this step. I am not so stressed out on how am I going to make rent and pay bills .<br />

I had to stay upstairs in my room had to have help to and from the bathroom , showers i had to sit on a chair and have someone else wash me. Hardest part was I couldn't hold my little Alex. He is to young to understand why. I had ladies from church bring food clean house watch me and the kids. At my 2 week follow up I healed nicely but my cysts are forming again and well i have to talk to the Dr to get my ovaries removed.

Noah to get his reading and math up. Lorraine because she wanted to learn French. . Then we went camping in the U.P. of Michigan . It is beautiful country up there. I live only2 and half hours from the Michigan border. you cross a bridge over the river and half way across it says welcome to Michigan. Scott and I took a river boat cruise of the Pictured Rocks along the Lake Superior shore line. the rocks are the results of the ice age melting and the constant waves hitting them. you can see pirate ships and Indian heads and various other things. Noah was also baptized on the 10 of July . It was a long awaited event. His Birthday is in January . few days after his birthday he injured his foot then was on crutches until the middle of March. I got pregnant morning sickness 24/7 . then we lost the baby in May.

He needed a surgery to remove the foreign object that was stuck in between the ankle and joint. So we had to drive 2 hours to the Children's hospital. The Dr said it looks septic and the only person who could intervene quickly was at the Children's hospital. So off we went. had surgery the next morning at 7.30 am. They removed a toothpick that was causing an infection. So 2 day stay in the hospital because of the infection they home . He has a nice looking scar and we are framing the tooth pick.<br />Nicholas was registered for Kindergarten and is growing up so much.<br />As for me I am adjusting to Wisconsin . I have made many new friends but still miss the old. I belong to choir , a stamping club and a running club. I am getting back in shape. I also am looking at going back to school . We will see I have other plans until August and if that plan falls through off to college i go .<br /> I am also focusing on me the next few months doing things that make me happy. I have to put me first for a while. I am so used to putting my kids and husbands needs before mine i have fallen into a sad funk. I need to get out of.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686002828186364917.post-25154201354561678152010-12-28T13:45:00.000-08:002010-12-28T14:24:11.571-08:00A hard decison but it was worth itsince March I have been getting emails from my mom that have been not so nice all about how much I hurt my dad with something I said to him. I thought things were going fine when my dad started talking to me again and hugged me good bye well the drama started up again I guess in October I posted something on face book and he commented and I deleted it. He got mad about that. I told him he didn't have permission to be leaving comments on my page and that what he said was private and next time to email it to me. Well he didn't like that one bit. So he had my mom email me some things saying he was doing this out of love. So I emailed her back big mistake my dad was reading her emails . I asked her if he really loved me why was I treated the way I was as a child . Here is an example. I tried out for the School play I got a part in the choir I was excited and told my dad and he said why did you even bother you can't sing they can't pay anybody enough to teach you and you are to fat and ugly to be on stage. . This was a constant with him So I asked my mom why when I was growing up did he call me fat ugly and stupid all the time. why did she always pay attention to my sister all the time. I asked her questions I couldn't ask a few years ago they had to come out. Well the emails got nastier and hurtful they were all bout how much I hurt my dad . I was told I couldn't call or visit . <br />that was fine with me<br />Well my little brother posted something on his face book page and I took great offense to it and well my dad didn't like what I put so he basically called me stupid right on face book so i deleated my post that got him madder so I said something I have never said to him before that set him aback I said @##% U to him. SO then he set my other brother to gang up on me by now I am being accused of tearing the family apart . So I sent something to my brother I tell him the truth he can't take it because his head has been told so many lies. My dad then posted something to me that I took great offense to when I posted I am a cancer survivor and that has made me a strong person and I will no longer let life get me down . He came back all up set and started belittling me again I told him I am done I am sick of his games that it is ok for him to be mean to others and accuse them of falsehoods and demand apologizes but I am not allowed to speak the truth and stand up for what I believe in I am sick of being attacked and him using other family members face book pages ` to hide behind that is low so I told my family good bye. I got sick of every email Melissa you are tearing the family apart you are hurting your dad more than you will ever know or when will you grow up and get out of your fantasy world. Scott even spent 2 hours composing an email to my mom going line by line answering every question she asked you can tell she didn't bother to read it because 3 days later she sent another one saying she refused to talk to me and asked Scott the same questions she asked me <br /> you may say I am being mean and I should forgive them but I have told them I needed space and every day I keep getting emails and they kept on getting nastier and nastier . I keep replying the situation in my mind and keep trying to do thing differently but in the end it all turns out the same, In order for me to move on and protect me I had to say good bye. I will forgive them in my own time they may never forgive me. That is their choice. My kids my never know their grandparents but my kids always refereed to them as they ones they didn't like they never really visited and when we went over to see them they were to busy to see us.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686002828186364917.post-29160151722305670292010-12-02T13:55:00.000-08:002010-12-02T14:08:51.206-08:00November happeningsNot a very good month for me. I am having so many health problems and gone through so many tests and they still can't can't find what is wrong. Had a pregnancy scare. I took a test and It came back positive and i waited a day to show Scott well I had him go out and get another test it came out negative so that night I went out bought 2 more and they both were negative . Don't get me wrong I would of been happy if it was really true but we are done having kids. Scott and I can't be intimate with each other since the meds I am on make birth control non effective and my neuro doctor said pregnancy is the last thing you need right now and after we figure out what is wrong with you you are getting fixed. we agreed to that one. I am having personal problems. And the person I confided in put all the blame on me after she blabbed to someone else what the problem was after she said I could trust her to keep it a secret so i lost her trust so i don't think I can trust her again . But the good news is Christmas is almost here and I can afford to give my kids what they want and not have to go to the dollar store or rely on grandma and grandpa jamison to buy it for them. I go the doll for my daughter she wanted the legos my son wanted and toy my other son wanted. I hope by the new year they figure out what is wrong because just typing this hurts my handsUnknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686002828186364917.post-43402704181326270592010-11-02T07:38:00.000-07:002010-11-02T07:44:29.923-07:00ups and downs of this movethe ups<br />Better paying job<br />better place to raise family<br />better school for kids<br />love the house we are renting<br />getting to know my new ward.<br />I have a visiting teacher who visits<br />sun rise ans sun set over the river<br />kids are bussed<br />more family oriented activities for kids<br />park 2 blocks from my house.<br />less job related stress on scott<br />growing closer as a family<br /><br />the downs<br />renter didn't pay rent<br />water was never shut off when we told them to shut it off 1200 dollar bill later<br />being lied to over and over again by a friend dumped that friend<br />giving house back to the bank<br />never seeing my old friends again face book only goes so far<br />but in all of this i am learning to rely on my faith more and more each day a little at a time.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686002828186364917.post-56831109659946731672010-09-30T16:30:00.000-07:002010-09-30T16:39:38.627-07:00Settled inWe are all unpacked and rooms are put together .

It was a long drive one kid pucked all over the back seat . One cried almost the whole way one wouldn't be quite and one wanted to go back to the home in Michigan i will let you guess who did what. The house we are renting has a huge kitchen and I have room for everything . I have cupboards low enough that the kids can unload the dishwasher . The cupboards are on the top and bottom the length of the wall and the dishwasher is big the fridge is a big on and I have a glass top stove. So there is plenty of room to do more baking for the kids and better made meals .<br /> The master bedroom has 2 walk in closets that we made one baby's room . Our window faces the lake. The bathroom is huge it has a stained glass window it has a double sink and a makeup counter and a dressing area . the boys room is huge the closet is another walk in so i put a dresser and their toy boxes and they plenty of room to play and i can put a desk in it. The girl has her own room off the living room she likes it . The enclosed porch is big enough or a play room that is what it became . The dining room is separate from the living not one whole room like my old house . The washer is a commercial washer so i can wash the comforters and not have my washer unbalance . The neighborhood is real quite . I like this hous ewish I can buy it. If I could I would . I will post pictures soon . Just have to unpack more boxesUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686002828186364917.post-69358552881743296882010-08-27T04:25:00.000-07:002010-08-27T04:32:24.160-07:00A busy monthBeginning of the month Scott got a job in Wisconsin. This is a huge step up the career ladder for my Husband more money and a better job better co workers better everything. I don't have to pack or load a truck it is being paid for by his new company. First months rent and security deposit is already paid for by the company. Found a rental house on craigslist the rental agency took our application by fax we signed the lease faxed it back. I got a house on the lake that was gutted and redid all last month so eveything is brand new in it. It is a nice place close to the schools better education for my children they care about class size and not closing schools left and right and jamming them all in 1 class room with stressed out teachers . So I have 5 days left in Michigan before I move.<br /><br /> The only bad thing about this month is I had to put my cat to sleep she had diabetes and was old and getting arthritis i sure miss herUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1
