Yup! I am that girl that was not looking to get remarried. I was not shy about sharing this either.

In my first marriage I slowly died inside and I lost myself in the process. Going through my divorce with all the new information pushed me to my limits of feeling like it was almost too much to take and I might not make it out alive.

But I didn’t die and I made it out loving life more than ever before. My discoveries led me down a healing journey of regaining trust in myself and remembering who I am.

I got to the point of loving my new life and the realization that living like a single mom while married had its benefits. I didn’t need anyone at all.

Then I met this guy and everything changed. He didn’t need anyone either because he had been living a life similar to mine. But we enhanced each other and it made everything better.

I love that he is “my firsts” to so many things. He is the first guy in dating I ever fought for and wanted to be with. I knew I loved him way before he said it. All that I believed he was he is. In fact, he checks boxes I didn’t even know were an option. He has consistently lived in a way that for someone that struggles with trust gives me so much confidence.

I love that since the day we met he has only chosen me. I love that he is patient, kind, and fun. He holds so much integrity that despite me challenging it, he knows exactly who he is and how he has always lived. I love that he gets my betrayal trauma because he’s been there too.

I love that I know God loves me because he gave mutual friends and family the inspiration to help push us into finding each other at the right time. I love that all hope is restored and the vulnerability to love again is worth it.

I would go through what I did again a million times to get me where I am today. Divorce was not a failure or a dead end but a spring board to a life better than I could have ever imagined.

I love that I value him so much more because I know what it means for him to choose and be each day. I love appreciating the small and simple things he does and how he is with me. I love having a real partner and that we prioritize eachother.

I will always be the lucky one!♥️
