Family Forum / Parenting / Single Parents / May 2005the honeymoon's over
Well, we did it. We got married. To each other. With witnesses. And we have the paperwork to prove it. So it must be true. And it's great. It really is. So now we're going to our corners for four months or so. [sob] But eventually we'll be on the same tectonic plates. Same continents, even. Maybe even in the same country. Hell! We could go wild! We could even live in the same CITY!!!! That'll be such a treat...... Oh, BTW, there'll be a big, big party and church wedding in December. More to follow. Paul & Cele > Well, we did it.

With witnesses. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Paul & Cele Ditto what everyone already said. :) T Thanks to all of you for your congratulations. We had a week of post-marriage togetherness, and Paul is now back in Wales until his school year ends at the end of July. Mine ends in late June, but I have to contract for July in order to pay the rent, 'cause otherwise there's nothing coming in for the summer months. It's a little known fact that most teachers aren't paid for the summer holidays. Being apart is harder than ever, now that we're married. We want to get on with our lives together. But it's only time, it will pass, and soon our family will be able to settle in. Everyone is so positive and upbeat about everyone else, we can be grateful for that, too. Paul was barely off the plane before my girls and their guys were over for a family games night..... Meanwhile, T has moved out into a basement suite with a girlfriend. She presented her father and me with a budget, and has been working since October so has credibility on that front. She's been absolutely relentless about completing her online studies and is on track for June graduation. She'll get the same financial assistance her sister had while she goes to college, which means a bit of help with rent & me paying for meds & occasionally contributing a care package of food. She's ready, and she's learned all she can from living at home, we think. It's hard to believe how far she's come. So for the next couple of months, I've got an empty nest. Then it's back to the pre-teen era, as Pete's still only 11. A boy will be a whole new experience! He's a great kid. I must be nuts; I'm actually looking forward to it. That empty nest thing messes with your head....;-) So in a week's time, I've got married, got an empty nest, and seen my new husband off for four months. Other than that, not much is happening here..... Be well, everyone. Cele > Thanks to all of you for your congratulations. Yes indeed, it was lovely to read all the good wishes. Okay, who's turn is it next? ;-) > We had a week of post-marriage togetherness, and Paul is now back in > Wales until his school year ends at the end of July. Pete's too, of course. If it weren't for that I'd have been even more tempted not to rush back. > Mine ends in late > June, but I have to contract for July in order to pay the rent, 'cause > otherwise there's nothing coming in for the summer months.

Depends where you live 'cos I get paid up until the end of August. :-Þ > Being apart is harder than ever, now that we're married. We want to > get on with our lives together.

Luckily (?) we both have more than plenty to keep us busy so boredom won't be too much of an issue. > Everyone is so positive and > upbeat about everyone else, we can be grateful for that, too. It was very encouraging to find out that everyone, even total strangers, seemed to think we'd done the right thing. Family and friends on both sides have also been extremely helpful and supportive too. > Paul was > barely off the plane before my girls and their guys were over for a > family games night..... Yeah but I think that's 'cos they wanted to be in with a chance of winning because I'd still be jet-lagged. ;-) > Meanwhile, T has moved out into a basement suite with a girlfriend. > She presented her father and me with a budget, and has been working [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > She's ready, and she's learned all she can from living at home, we > think. It's hard to believe how far she's come. Seeing the differences in just the last nine months is frankly amazing. Her attitude is incredibly positive and her work-ethic impossible to fault. She deserves lots of good things and I very much hope she gets them. You did good, Cele. > So for the next couple of months, I've got an empty nest.

I notice you felt the need to be the first one to use one of "those" words in print. :-Þ > Be well, everyone. And try to be happy too. It comes recommended.
