Normal Life?

Life is as normal as we know. We sit down and talk, for the first time, about the things we went through as we grew up. How it's made us feel and for the first time we all feel safe voicing them.

We all realize how blessed we are to be where we are.

I get a job working at Hardee's and Love it.. for a while. How long can one love working Fast food? It was a learning experience. One I will never take back. I worked there for 7 Months and knew I needed to do something else. I signed up for a Temp agency who got me a job at a Clothing manufacturer warehouse. Gimme International. Was another learning experience. I stayed with them for 3 months and quit. The temp agency then got me a job working at OC Tanner. That was a wonderful Experience!

While I worked at OC Tanner I became engaged. (But we will save that for another entry)

I learned good work ethics and about the work environment. They didn't need me to work with them any longer as a Temp but said if I ever needed a job, to call them and they would have one waiting for me.

Life was normal, Mom worked, kids went to school. I went to work and we all came home to be together as a family for dinner. Life was good. I still dreaded going to church because "They" were there. We avoided eye contact and steered as far away from them as possible.

I had a wonderful Man to lean on. We still went out on dates when we could and enjoyed one anothers company. Life was normal..

I can't say that enough.. Life was NORMAL. (what I pictured normal to be)
