A most happy Wednesday to all today.  What a beautiful day, sun is shining, the flowers are beginning to bloom.  Finally we are seeing GREEN grass!!!! Yes Life is Good

1998–my marriage was ending.  18 years of trying to make it work with a alcoholic, drug addicted husband that hid in the basement.  He claimed to love me and his children, but couldn’t step up as a “Father” or “Husband” I had given it my all, and it was time to get out before anymore damage was done to my children.

I was introduced to the internet/chat rooms.  WALLA!!! Badda Boom Badda Bing What A Wonderful Thing   L0L!!! People, people, who listen, don’t judge, or criticize.  People who accept me for me

In March 1998, as usual I would chat at my favorite site after the children were all tucked into bed (husband worked 2nd shift)  I had succumbed to drinking after fighting so hard not to fall in the trap my husband was living.  Each night after a few beers I would sign off  “Help I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”  My friends new that was my exit line…but this particular night something was different.

This name appeared on the screen, a name I’d never seen before  “Toby”  My screen name was “Britta” (named after a fav. DJ of mine at the time)  Toby says “Here Britta please take my hand, I’ll help you up”  Something happened at that moment…I felt something deep inside.  We talked for hours that night and I knew there was something special.

Tobys wife had just gone through a mid-life crisis and asked him to leave.  She did not want to be married anymore…this is after a 18 year marriage and 4 children later.

I had such a strong faith in God (still do today) and I knew God had a hand in this meeting.

A few months later we were together, divorced from our original marriages and happily in love together

Today is our 5th Wedding Anniversary…A Very Happy Day for us Both.  We lived together for 5 years to make sure this was Gods plan. It surely was, as I am the happiest, luckiest girl alive!! Just wanted to share a bit of my happiness with my special buddys!

Ok…on another note….HOWS the eating going buddys?????????????????  I did excellent last night.  I’m feeling like a new person already.  I have this unlimited energy and I don’t know what to do with it..LOL!! Can’t wait for little Talan to get moved!!! I’ll probably be taking him every other day!!!

Wishing all here on BuddySlim a wonderful successful day.  Remember there are so many others out there facing challenges and obstacles. But One day at a Time!!! Baby Steps if needed.  Have Faith Buddys!! Love you Guys!!

Faith . . . brings into our . . . hears a spiritual force greater than our circumstance.

He who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.
