Oh, where to begin. Let me see... When Ted was locked up in Oshkosh Correctional, he came across someone he knew (someone I knew of, but never met) and they started talking, and this guy didn't have anyone to write to, or never received any letters from anyone, so Ted asked me if I would write to him once in a while. So I did. We wrote casually, nothing out of the ordinary, seemed like a very nice guy. I already knew his brother and sister in law, so I had a little heads up on what kind of person he was. Ok, so back in Octoboer of '05, my kid's father's mom and brother were in the middle of moving to Minnesota. His mom got a job at the casino, and I had just got one, but did not yet start. This guy I was writing back and forth with, was getting out in October, but I didn't know what day. I decided to come back to Rhinelander (which is where he was being released) and help Ted's mom pack some more things so she could do the final move to Minnesota. Well, the day we got there, one of my friends had called the house and told me that this guy (his name is Chris by the way)was released and was staying in the half-way house in town, and he told her to give me his phone number so I could call when I got into town. I called him, and we talked for about an hour and a half. He seemed like a really cool person and he was extremely easy to talk to. You all know where I'm going with this... but to make things short, we ended up meeting, and that was that for both of us. We had to be together. I told Ted to basically screw off, cause I was sick of his shit anyway, and Chris and I started dating in mid-October. Of course as soon as Ted's mom found out about it, she quit her job at the casino, and moved back to crappy Rhinelander, WI. So I was never able to even start the job I got because we were all supposed to live together. Oh well, so sad. Chris and I got engaged on my birthday of last year, we moved in together in a house we rent in Eagle River, WI. He's one of the sweetest guys I've ever met. A very hard working person and is a better father to my kids than Ted ever was. I'm blessed to have him in my life. Ok, I tried to make this entry as short as possible, because trust me, I could have made it at least 4 times longer going into more detail, but I'll be nice and not get that in depth. :) That's my update for now! Later all.
