Not all men are the same....

Women who say that all men are the same are wrong, because every man is different. Granted they may have a few little similarities, but they are still different.

For me I have only had three different boyfriends in my life that are even noteworthy of being called that, granted two of them are now,and have been for awhile, ex's and the third is my most recent, and still is the love of my life.

The first boyfriend, C, I met him when I was 16 years old. Granted I wasn't the smartest girl in the world, but I should have realized that he wasn't a good guy, he started off sweet and caring, then gradually he changed, I started seeing the real him, the abusive and drug-addicted guy that swore that he loved me. But me looking through rose-colored glasses that I wore, tried to change him just because I thought I could. Eventually, he started to break me down, I didn't want to be around my family, I chased all my friends away, except one. I started to hate myself, cause he said I wasn't good enough for anyone. Our relationship continued like this for almost two years. I eventually was able to get away from my own little personal hell. only because, my family and I, moved to a different city far enough away that I was able to see clearly and be myself again.

My second boyfriend, G, I met him my senior year of high school, but we didn't end up dating until my first year of college, his last year of high school. Yes I know he was a year younger than me, but it didn't matter then. He was a sweet, caring, Christian boy who tried to help me turn my life around for the better. In some ways he succeeded, in others he gave up on me. We went to church twice on Sunday and once on Wednesday night. He became my knight in shining armor, you could say. A year and half, we were together for, before he told me over the phone that he was done trying to be with me for reasons that I had no control over.A month after he broke my heart, I moved to Houston to live with my dad.

My third boyfriend, S, I met him the day after I moved to Houston. I was 20 years old, I knew no one except my dad. S soon became my best friend. We had only known each other for a month before we started dating and me moving in with him and his family. He is what I call my saving grace. It has been almost 2 and a half years that we have been together. My longest relationship. He has truly helped me become a better person and I, him. I am more outgoing, granted I'm still shy when I first meet new people, but it's easier for me to get-to-know them quicker. S is amazing, even though he says differently, he is what he considers himself to be, a nice guy, he was kind of distant and we both still are from time to time. But over time, we have brought each other out of our shells, so to speak.

Now as you can see not all guys are the same, just as not all relationships are. They are all different in there own way, some can try to tear you apart and some can be your "saving grace".

Christmas (2012) New Years (2013) and an new family member (1-25-13). :)

           So Christmas was awesome, Shane got me beautiful blue guitar, that was very unexpected. I was so surprised that I started crying, happy tears. :) I got Shane a hoodie, that is a cross of SOA (Sons Of Anarchy) and the Texans (football team), I made him an "Exploding Box". that has a lot of different pictures of us in it, and I got him a new video game for his computer that is similar to some other games that he has.

           This year for New Years we just ended up staying home and hanging out here safe and sound. :)

           And now a week and one day ago Shane's brother and his wife had their daughter, Cali Rae Bokemeyer, she is such an adorable baby. she is exactly eight days old, next week Shane, Rene (Shane's mom), Ronald ( his step-dad), Alisa ( his sister) and I are driving all the way to Jacksonville, Florida to visit with them and meet Cali for the very first time. This will be my first time to go to Ricky and Nikki's house (Shane's brother and sister-in-law). I am very excited about going even more so than Shane is. lol. I personalized a Onesie for Cali that says " I LOVE my uncle Shane" on it and I got her a pink stuffed unicorn. I also made and "Exploding Box" for Ricky and Nikki with pictures of them with Cali and also with just pics of Cali in it.

Thanksgiving and my trip.

So Shane and I made it up to Ft. Worth to visit with my mom and my family, My sisters, brother, soon-to-be step-dad and soon-to-be step-brother for Thanksgiving last week. we had a great time well mostly great time minus a unforetold argument with not only my mom but also with my grandfather the night of thanksgiving. oh how unknowledgeable things happen.... Even when you know that things happen for a reason many people wonder why. I know I do every day and sometimes I even have to ask my boyfriend why they happen just to be reassured  that everything will be ok, no matter what happens.

 So today i have decided that I will be starting on Shane's Christmas present a little early this year so that i have it done before then even thought it's about two months away.
   I also made the decision that starting new year's I'm going to take a picture a day so that i will have a year in pictures. :)

     Ok, so i know its been a year since I've posted on this blog and I'm sorry for that. just been really busy, stressed out, and even confused about a lot of things going on.

     So In august Shane and I volunteered at this Camp, called Camp Quality, Its a Camp for kids with cancer and there siblings. The greatest part about this camp is that it doesn't cost the families anything for the kids to go there. It was only for a week but we had the best time. I was on staff as a photographer, I got some great shots of everything. Shane was paired with a camper, Named Eli, his brother had cancer. Eli has two brothers and a sister. they were a blast to get to know. I think next year I want to be a Companion, but I'm not sure. /:
