My Big Move
I have lived most of my life in the city. At that time, I lived in an apartment in Newark, Ohio. I saw people walking around outside, I heard the loud cars roaring by, and the noise from the sirens is incredibly noisy on most days. I have finally decided to move on with my life. I had been in three serious relationships in the past, none of which worked out for whatever the reason. I am glad because I have three kids now from that, no boyfriend nor husband though. I have just finished school and started my career as LPN at the nursing home just across town.

I figured I needed a fresh start on relationships. I wanted to find that special man that could make me feel the joy and happiness that makes me feel alive. I wanted

That made it easier for me to start a conversation with someone I did not know. I did not have to talk to them if I did not want to; all conversations were texted back and forth in the website. No stress to meet anyone if you did not want to. I started talking to a couple of guys and I was able to weed them out very quickly. I had no interest in a man that was going to use me in any way. One day there was this man on the site, his name, Robert Sturms. His profile really caught my eye. He stated that he has custody of his two children and that he was a family man, but is not involved with the ex-girlfriend. Also, he said he likes home cooked meals and bonfires, riding four wheelers, and his favorite pastime was to go mud bogging. I really had to know more about this guy. I never heard of mud bogging before. I always liked to think I could make a decent meal. I had kids too. This could get interesting, I thought! Was this Mr. …show more content…
Keep in mind I did not really know what he looked like other than his picture online. I know you can post any picture you want. I thought he was gorgeous in those pictures. He pulls up at the gas station about three minutes after I got there. He is this tall 5’10”, gorgeous in the face, light brown hair, brown eyed man, that bends down to me in my car and says, “Hi, how are you? Are you ready to go back to my house; it is out in the country a little ways?” I knew when he leaned into my car, that he was the one for me. I know he is very special.

I thought we would never get there. I was worried if he was leading me on some wild goose chase. I did not know it would be out that far. I was so scared to drive all the way up those hills with snowy roads. I almost turned around. I did not think I could do it. Nevertheless, I did. I am so glad I did not turn around that night.

We made it safely to his home. His kids were anxiously awaiting our arrival. His mother had babysat his kids while he was gone that evening. The smell of homemade pizza filled the air, pepperoni and mushroom was his favorite. In his living room, there were three deer heads mounted on the wall. I never seen that kind of thing before. I could not get over how rustic and homey it felt in that

    Ryne Garrison Suddenly I Became Me Looking back now, it is easy to see that I was a very different sort of kid growing up. I would never tab being different as a bad thing, but normality was never exactly my strong suit. It’s easy for other people to look back on all the goofy, strange things kids do, and casually brush these incidents off with “he’s just being a kid.”…

    A. Autobiographical Statement My mother was the first and only person in her family to graduate from college, which has always been an inspiration to me. She was an abused wife on food stamps, raising two children on her own while my father was incarcerated. I will always remember when she told me that life was like a lotus flower; we may start by growing in the mud but each day we can choose to bloom above the water into a beautiful flower. It was then that I understood my childhood was not my choice, but how I choose to live the rest of my life was. My mother never wavered in her faith that if I wanted to do something in my life the only thing that could hold me back was myself.…

    My Catalyst Each individual in this world carries on a view of themselves, of others, of things, of beings that expand from one state of mind to another. Each event that has happened from birth to this day acts like a rhythmic catalyst carrying one piece of the story to the next. At certain times of our lives, that catalyst can become more than a regular “piece”, it becomes something that we often look back to as we grow up. It could range from first realizing that a plump man in a red velvet suit cannot possibly squeeze his body into a chimney, to standing in front of a crowd dressed in a white dress and veil to say “I do”. What has impacted me, were a few simple words that my uncle had said that had extraordinarily simplified my young and yet to be understood life.…
