When I got to Connie (Jeremy's mother) and Wild Card's (Jeremy's step-dad) trailer, it was much like the afternoon that Jeremy and I snuck off to McDonald's...a perfect connection between two souls. Before I go further with this part of the story, I have been reminded about the day Jeremy and I went to McDonald's. I'd gotten a little bit of money. The child molester had left and went somewhere, I don't really remember where he was. All I do remember was walking out of the front door of the friend's trailer I was staying in, and attempting to walk to McDonald's. Since I couldn't find anyone there, I was going to have lunch by myself. Jeremy just so happened to be walking up the driveway, and asked me where I was going. When I told him, he said, "You don't have to eat alone. If you want, I'll go with you". (Side note: J was not 18, yet) In response I said, "Sure. Why not? It'll be better than eating alone". We didn't leave a note, and there was no set time either of us needed to be back. Good thing too, because we spent the next 4 hours hiding from the rain by ducking under the awnings of churches and abandoned buildings along the way. When we had been tucked in out of the rain, we'd start kissing and hugging on each other. If we weren't doing that, we were talking about the future with each other. When we got back to the trailer, everyone was there, and from the moment we stepped into the front door until we made it to Joe's room, we were questioned on our whereabouts for the past 4 hours. When we made it to Joe's room, we were questioned, again. Neither of us getting upset or telling people to stay out of our business. No, we just told everyone that we were friends, and when I couldn't find anyone to walk with me to get lunch, Jeremy happened to offer. TO BE CONTINUED... Sorry, guys and dolls. I'd finish the top part of the story today, but then what would I write tomorrow.

I've decided that today is the day I share my story of "Loving Our Soulmate". As many of you know, I met Jeremy in the summer of 1999, and found out in January 2000, that not only did he have a girlfriend, but he was only 14 years old. In October of 2001, I walked away from my first marriage. I had Autumn who was 5 years old, Winter who had just turned 2 in August, and Randall who was 5 months old; and to top it off, I'd had my tubes tied in May of 2001 after Randall was born because I'd been pregnant 6 years in a row. November 1996, Autumn was born; Summer of 1997, I miscarried my second baby at 4.5 months gestation. Late 1998, I lost my third little one at 5-6 weeks gestation. In 1999, Winter was born. May 2001, Randall was born. I'd had enough of being pregnant. My ex husband wanted a baseball team of kids. I asked him how many are on a team. He said 9, and I cracked up laughing. I told him that when Randall was born, I was having my tubes tied the next morning. And on May 30, I did just that. When I left my first husband, I wound up with a guy who (I find out after I got with Jeremy) was molesting Autumn. I was honestly biding my time when I was with that dude. If I had the slightest idea that he was doing that to my daughter, he'd have been a dead man. And in the state of Texas, no judge would've convicted me. However, I never caught wind of it. I never saw anything. And he had my baby so scared that she didn't ever tell me about any of it. January 11, 2003, Jeremy celebrated his 18th birthday. Approximately a week later, he came over to a friend's house where I was staying, and invited me to go with him to his mom's to watch movies. TO BE CONTIINUED...

The day I met Jeremy I knew he was the one I was meant to be with for the rest of my life. However, when I found out he was only 15 years old (6 months after we first met), I knew I had a miserable 3 years ahead of me. You may ask why. Well, my friends, I may have fallen in love with Jeremy the day we met, but no one said there would not be any challenges. The reason I had that miserable years ahead of me is because in January of 2000, my husband was only 15 years old, and I was 21 years old. Yes, I was 6 years 4 months and 5 days older than Jeremy. I will eventually get to writing the entire story of how we met & how we got together, but like I said I’ve super busy preparing for school next week; so, therefore, I will write & post that story as soon as I can. I anticipate the next few weeks are going to be quite hectic as I get settled in with classes, but maybe in late May or early June, I can post our “Meeting Our Soulmate” story.

Sorry, guys and dolls. I had no idea I'd be approved to do this circle, and a week later I'd get bombarded with the stuff I need to login to SNHU online in preparation of my first class. However, this is the hand fate has dealt, and I have been super busy trying to take care of all my login information, reading on what the class is about, looking at the small ebook for this class, and getting familiar with my classroom. I have, however, I have begun the story of when Jeremy and I first met, and it will be posted shortly.
