The Beginning

I had forgotten how exhilarating new relationships are, particularly in the beginning. In the beginning you think about the person constantly and are over the moon to see them. When you’re together you are giddy – smiling, laughing, holding hands. In the beginning you can talk for hours about nothing and everything all at the same time. In the beginning you get lost in each others kiss. While more seasoned relationships certainly do have their perks as well, in my book you truly cannot beat the beginning. I tell you this, dear readers, as my way to reveal that which I have been concealing; that which I have not been boldly blogging about… I met someone.

“New Guy” and I met a few months ago through mutual friends and have been in regular contact (phone calls, texts, dates) since. He is one of those hard-to-find truly nice guys. He is smart, funny, generous, and cute! He likes kids, values his own family, and makes me feel beautiful, special, and appreciated. What else could a girl ask for? I feel blessed that he was brought into my life, even though it was in a rather random and spontaneous way. I look forward to seeing where the journey (which I have relinquished control over) goes!



Side Note
I realize that some of you, particularly those who know me personally and had no idea about this news, are probably a little slack-jawed. Please don’t be offended that I didn’t tell you. Honestly, I told very few people and I didn’t write about it here because I didn’t know what others would think. However, I refuse to live my life in secret as if I have done something wrong, because I have not. I look at it like this… I was 100% committed to my marriage, even after Soon To Be Mr. Ex had an extramarital affair. I never once waivered in my commitment to him or our vows until the day he told me he wanted a divorce. I did nothing wrong and I have nothing to feel bad about either morally or legally; I am moving on with my life!
