What a difference a year makes Part 2

I know it lacks a little creativity, but I like the title of "What a difference a year makes?" for this post as well.

It has been about a year since my last post and there have been some major changes that have taken place--AGAIN!!!

Last year Lesli and I were separated in different states with no plans to get back together. Last year we were going through a tough time together and we were doing things to protect ourselves from being hurt. Last year we were unhappy with the direction our lives were going.

We were keeping in touch and seeing each other when she came down to teach her classes. I started to realize how much I missed having her in my life, but I didn't know how to get her back in my life because she was in Utah and I was still in Arizona.

In stepped fate...

I got laid off from the home equity department at Chase in December, and I realized that there was nothing keeping me in Arizona except for the year round golfing weather. I love golf, but I don't need golf and golf doesn't love me. I love Lesli way more than golf and I need her love more than anything. It wasn't even a tough decision for me to move to Utah once we decided to give it another shot. The hardest part for me was leaving 75 degree weather in January and going to where it was 5 degrees. I was not prepared for that!!!

Seven months later we are INCREDIBLY HAPPY!!! We were able to buy a townhouse so we have a place to call home. We have been able to spend quality time with the grandchildren (and our children too.)

I realize how much I love her and at how lucky I am to be 'her best guy'! She is so good for me in so many ways! I appreciate her and her love. We are in this for the 'long haul' and I look forward to the ride. Thanks Lesli for loving me!
