Just a Little Love Story~~
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.

Wow! Now THAT’S a love story if ever there was one. Touched my heart… Happy Anniversary!
I smiled when I read how much energy you have. Nothing better than loads of energy from treating our bodies well.
And YES, one day at a time. I can’t do it any other way.
You guys got any anny plans?

Jane, the more I get to know you and the stories you share, I continue to be amazed at how strong of a person you are and the wonderful things you have done and the many people you have touched with your kind words, smile, or caring attitude. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you and your hubby are going to do something extra special to celebrate this extra special day! I am glad to see that you are sticking to plan and feeling excellent for doing so. I also like your comment about the baby steps. I have recently started jogging on the treadmill and I’m taking it 10 seconds at a time…but it works for me. Thanks again for being such a great buddy!
Happy Anniversary!
Congratulations on your wedding anniversary!
how sweet! happy anniversary!!!
You made me cry, how beautiful and happy anniversary!!
Happy anniversary **runs to find chat room** What a beautiful story
Ahhhh, Jane, I loved your love story. Ed was my second marriage, too. Then we had 49 great years together. We live and learn…if we’re really lucky. And weren’t we lucky to find such loving men after going through the pits with the first? Enjoy every single moment together. Time passes so quickly….with someone you really love. Eating right does give you energy and getting to cut back on meds helps, too. Stay with it and give that sweet man an extra hug for me tonight. Love, Marge
I love happy ending Jane, thanks for sharing. This is so sweet and you are so blessed! -Dee
