Ok so, where did I leave off? Oh right, I loved him, but I didn't tell him...even though I am sure he knew.
On January 15, Timmy was heading to AC at midnight with his Pop, he invited me to go. I decided I had to go. I wasn't divorced yet, and I hadn't filed yet, but he knew I was going to file, so I didn't feel bad about my midnight rendezvous with Timmy...and Poppy. The night was spectacular. We didn't even gamble that much, but we did talk a lot. The cutest part of the night was when Timmy asked if I had any Chapstick. I am a girl, of course I had Chapstick! After he put it on he said "I think my lips smell minty. Smell my lips." Can you see where this is going? You guessed it. I smelled his lips. Can you guess what happened next? Yup! We kissed. Can I just tell you it was the most earth chattering kiss I have ever experienced. It was marvelous, and it was minty. ;) It was perfect. It was so right. I swear I heard music playing as we kissed. Also, he was the best kisser. Okay, okay, enough. I know you get the point.
(Btw on February 24th, he told me he loved me. I knew it already though, but I had to wait 'til he said it. The girl can't say it first!!!)
So, I went for my divorce hearing, April 11, 2012. It was tough. I wanted it to be over for a number of reasons, but I also felt bad for my soon-to-be-ex husband. I had things to look forward to. I knew where I was going. I was already happy in my new job, so that was half the battle. He, however, did not have these things going for him. I guess I can understand how he felt to a point, considering, I was the one who wanted it to end, and he didn't. I truly believe that he just refused to see how miserable he really was in our relationship. And on top of all of it, he worked in the same department as my father.
After the hearing, I didn't know what to do with myself. I was newly single, so of course I updated the Facebook page to "single". But after that, I mainly just wanted to get home, change out of my dress, and talk to Timmy. I wanted so badly for him to be just as excited as I was. I know it sounds terrible, being excited for a divorce. But it was a bumpy ride for me. For the both of us. Two years, out of our 5 years together, of being discontent, disconnected, always fighting and miserable, I think anyone would be excited for a divorce from that.
On Saturday April 14, Timmy asked me to go with him to his nephew's all star baseball game. Since I had no limitations on who I could be seen with anymore, I definitely wanted to go with him. The whole morning while at the game, I just kept thinking "What now?".
Well as we were leaving the game, when we were in his car, he leaned over to me and said "Will you be my girlfriend?". "Of course!", I answered. After such a long time flirting, and basically counting down to D-Day, I was so ecstatic that we could finally be together. He was exactly what I wanted. I couldn't imagine a better person to be with.
By July everything was going so well, it wasn't long before I rented my house out to one of my best friends, Kati, and moved in with Timmy.
So here we are, on December 13, 2012, and we are going strong. We have lived through the purchase of a new TV, new windows for his house, a family vacation we took to Bermuda in September, and we haven't even argued once. So I think it is safe to say that over the last 12 months, something extraordinary has happened. I found my soul mate. I never thought it was possible for me. But now I know it is. He is wonderful. He makes me really happy, and I hope I make him happy too.
