I guess it's sort of unfair to start a blog without telling how I got here. I think my whole blog started with me almost dying. Thats great LOL.
So how did my wonderful journey start? Well on June 12, 1982 I was born to a wonderful set of parents here in the lovely town of Winchester. Oh yea and my older sis. I was blessed to grow up with a big loving family and I am forever thankful for them.
My life was pretty tame and it stayed that way up until about 2007. I was married in 2005 to my high school sweetheart and then in in June 2007 found out we were pregnant. On December 11 2007 I gave birth to my son Andrew Christopher Frasure. Yes he was early. Really early. I had some complications and Drew also wasnt growing as he should have. As you can see in the pics from the earlier posts, he was a huge whoppin 3lbs 1 oz. Actually got down to under 3 lbs at one point.He stayed in the NICU and was released one day before he turned a month old. We went over on care times and helped do everything for him. He is my little miracle=) Now you cant tell he was that tiny when he was born.
Now the hard part... after getting back home, I got some um.. well .. news about my husband ( then ). Lets just say we have every right to get divorced according to the Bible. If you know me, you know what I am talking about. This is a time in my life that I will not ever forget but also have no regrets. I put in soo much time and energy to save or marriage but he was done. So after about a year, our divorce was final. I went through so much crap during that time though. Most of the time when this happens to a couple, they split and dont ever talk anymore, but in my case we had a child and he is a good father so I still had to see him. Some days I just wanted to hit him, other days I just wanted him back. I think, though, right after filing the papers, it all started to look up. I didnt need or want him if he didnt want the same thing.
Now the happy part... Ramon and I had crushes on each other during 4th and 5th grades. I played basketball where his stepfather coached so I still got to see him some even though we didnt go to the same middle school. I also saw him at some family functions because his cousin and me were best friends. So I sang at weddings and help throw wedding and baby showers. About December he sent a friend request through Facebook. ( I would find out later this was only because he was too chicken to ask me in the first place NOT over Facebook.. ha ha .. ) So on January 9 we had our first date and then the rest is history. We got engaged on May 24 and then went to Las Vegas Sept 5 and got married ( no we didnt elope, it was planned )
Looking back, I didnt know why God was doing what he did. It hurt so bad. But now I have a husband who loves me unconditionally no matter what and I love him just the same. He is great other father figure in Drew's life and that was and still is the most important thing. It was hard to bring someone in that Drew didnt know. Luckily he caught on real quick and Ramon has a true deep love for him as well.
I wouldnt change a thing. I wish I could go back and tell myself that everything was working in God's time. I just wanted it to happen before he did. My ex and get along and I consider him a friend. For Drew's sake it is best we keep a neutral ground with each other.
So now I sit here in the office ( as Ramon as hijaked the tv with Transformers : Dark Moon ) ( And yes he has seen it a thousand times ) ( And no I dont care for it ) I think about how lucky and blessed I am. I feel like I have been given a second chance at life ( after my little infection stunt.. okay so not so little ) It is true what they say, you should live every day as if it was your last. Im trying=) And I have a great support system to make sure that I am.
