Recapping 2020 part one

-

 It has been an unbelievable year.  On February 8, 2020 AJ and I got married. He was so positive that it was what he wanted to do. I had visions of two bad marriages and how I didn’t enter either one planning on failure. I knew I was not good a picking a spouse. He focused on what could go right and I had visions of what could go wrong. He wasn’t sure that I was going through with it. I decided to trust him. And trust the Devine Hand that brought us back together. 

We were going to get married and take a week long trip to Somewhere. Hadn’t decided where as we walked down the isle together. It was a great ceremony officiated by my friend Dr Keitha Story Stephenson. We had very special friends and family attend and it was a great day.  Made very special by the friends who helped bring it together and those who came together to celebrate. 

When it was over and all the guests left. Just my friends and family who helped with the decoration and food were still there. I changed from the dress and low heels to tennis shoes, jeans and tee shirt. I was walking across the room to my best guy and my feet got tangled up and I went face first into the floor. Broke my left wrist and and had one whopper of a black eye. 

That is how we came to spend the wedding night in the ER. Of all the things I thought might go wrong this was not one of them.  Surgery followed and so much pain. And my husband could not have been better.  I will write some short tales about some of those things later.  About the time I was getting follow up care Covid 19 shut the country down. I was out of work and we spent most of the time in Oklahoma. 


We did survive the year. At Christmas 2020 AJ got covid. He was one of those that was affected as if he had a bad case of flu. I must have had it too. One night I had chills really bad.... no fever but I did lose my sense of smell.  We were very fortunate that we were not worse as so many others have been.  I pray we have gotten the “in sickness” part of the vows done with. That 2021 starts the “they lived happily ever after” part.

2021 Was a challenging year

 My last post was January.3 2021.  Ten days later my brother passed away from Covid.  He got sick in early December.  Years back my brothers family and I bought 57 acres and we settled there as neighbors. In early December 2020 I think most all of us had covid. The rest of us recovered though he passed away. John and I both developed some long covid issues.  I am so blessed that we have each other.  We have found medical help that treats long covid issues.  And we are working on all issues.  In the mean time we are living a pretty great life.   We took a great vacation in September of 2021.  We took the pickup and travel trailer and went to Yellowstone, Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota.  It was a beautiful trip. In the time since We have bought a motorhome, Can Am Spyder, and we have made some awesome trips   We live inTexas- where I still work in the large remodeled RV that John made for me.  It is set up on a...

December 24, 2018 Evening.... Christmas Eve. This was my third Christmas totally alone. And it was the third one that my friend Micah insisted I spend with her family so I would not be alone.  There was food, there were games, kids, adults, laughter, fudge, more food, gifts, and pictures being posted to facebook with me getting tagged to them. So my phone kept buzzing.  I had lived in this community since 1992. I left a bad marriage and moved to the slower country life of Wise County Texas.  When I lived here long enough I filed for divorce and settled down to live on a few acres with dogs, horses, goats, and ducks/chickens/geese.  I commuted to the office I had in Dallas where I worked in partnership with my mother in a Natural Health business.  It was a life long passion for me.  Time marched on with me living single and my mother getting older. In 2001, she had her 80th birthday. She sold her house and moved in with me.  In the following ...

As 2019 came to an end.

I have decided that there just isn’t enough good news in this world.  I am updating this blog and I will share stories from My Unanticipated Life  regularly.  2019 year end update.  Sunday Morning.  For many years now Sunday mornings have been tough. I have posted the song Sunday Morning Coming Down so many times.  Sunday is the day for family. Couples. And when you are alone Sunday’s point out how alone alone can be.  Don’t tell me about prayer. I only survived that time on prayers. Mine and others praying for me.  I never prayed for a man to come into my life. Heck no.  My work, my pets,  and myself..all traveling under God’s umbrella. That was all I ever considered for my life. But Sunday’s were the day that God let me feel the need to not be alone.  Never considered that there was another alone person praying for someone special in their life.  And a hook up from Heaven was made.  Christmas Eve last year (2018) John fo...
