November 2011 ~
"I think I'm ready to date."
At least that's what I told myself. I didn't know what I was getting myself into.
Where should I begin...Let me back up a bit.
Sophomore in High School ~
I was overweight and self conscious most of my life, so when I got a boyfriend in high school, I felt like I was on top of the world. He was a football star and he wanted to go out with me. At least for 2 weeks then he broke up with me to go out with another cheerleader (I was a soccer and hockey cheerleader). I was devastated.
Many nights I cried myself to sleep. Why? What did I do wrong? Why wasn't I the one he wanted? Until another football star came along and one of "his" best friends. We were friends at first but our friendship turned into a relationship and 7 years later we were married. A big wedding with all the fixings. I thought I was in it for life.
It wasn't too long that we bought a condo. It was a new construction and I thought this was my castle. New everything!
