....Introducing...

Ms. Lassiter....AGAIN! Holy Cow...I just don't know what to say or where to begin! To everyone that actually keeps up with this thing...I'm sorry I haven't updated it more than I have...lots have been going on! But...the wait was well worth it!! It's finally done - every bit of EVERYTHING I have been working on for the past 3 years almost...it's done. Mostly everyone who reads my blog knows what I have been going through. Praise God - after lots of patience, support, prayers...it's done and I can finally move on with my life and the people in it :) It's so funny - the life lessons I have learned at such an early age. Would I take it back...hmmm...the actual divorce? Never. Leaving? Never. Having the most amazing little boy that puts a smile on my face every time I look at him...? ...Never. I have always believed that everything happens for a reason...I'm still waiting for God to show me what that reason is. In my opinion - I'd say it's the fact that - well, let me first start off by saying - after spending all this time collecting my thoughts and going through what I have gone through, my reasoning for all of it...my way out. It was a way out of my mom's house, to be on my own, to "grow" up...which I always wanted...oh dear. Obviously I didn't think I had anything else in my life OR that I could stand on my own two feet and make it on my own...Holy Toldedo, was I wrong. In the past 3 years, I have realized how many people LOVE me, CARE for me, PRAY for me, CHERISH me...these people have stood by me from day 1. How in the world could I ever think that I had NO ONE? That, to me, is the most selfish, dumbest thing I have ever thought. I have never felt the love and support that I have right now and through this entire process. Supporting myself - being on my own...I accomplished it - yeah, it took a while...7 months of living in my aunt's basement with the crickets (By the way...Leisa - I'll have you know, I'm the #1 cricket killer here at work...guess I had 2 life lessons in one!) So, life lesson #1, DONE...never again. Thanks God! Ha! Life Lesson #2...I have learned the strength of my own heart...I have been beaten down, crying myself to sleep, worrying, headaches galore, feeling like I would never get through this...and there it is. Today, THE END. I'm still smiling and definitely NOT crying :) All in all, at the end of the day - I have my family, Ty - the light of my life...who just makes me feel like such a giddy mommy every time I lay eyes on him...he is just a blessing! I have a wonderful boyfriend that treats me and Ty better than I ever thought possible...wonderful friends...whom, by the way - I consider my family...I am just so thankful you guys helped me through this...I don't know where I would be without all of you! I guess I should thank my lawyer(s) - for taking me to the bank...for umm...typing mean letters, giving me advice...even though I ended up deciding everything on my own anyway...ha...big thanks! I keep thinking of a few certain people...Adam, my dad, my grandmother...JOSH...whom I would just sit and cry to...poor guys. It's over....I'm looking for a fresh start, new beginnings, showing my love and devotion to the people that gave it to me through all of this...especially GOD...I will never forget it, you guys. I love all of you.

Blah - On to the more exciting stuff! TY!!! That boy is such a character. I am enjoying my time with him more and more...well...this age right here is my favorite. Pronouncing things - hearing him trying to repeat them...is just funny :) He can say, Hi, Bye (and you HAVE to say it back!), he can give fives, "bump it", give hugs, "sugar", blow "sugar", says Mommmmmy, all of the time! Claps, dances, his favorite rhymes are Patty Cake and ABCs, he is amazed by mirrors and his tongue...extremely enjoys climbing on EVERYTHING, brushing his teeth - ha! Laughing at mommy when she says, "Tyler...I looooove you", Yawns and at the end goes, "ahhhhhh" like he's an old man....can throw things away, pick things up, cry when he doesn't get his way...haha...he's a hoot! LOVES LOVES LOVES water. I'm such a blessed mommy! Anywho, that's the update - 7 months later...ha :) I'll update more...well, I'll try - my life isn't that exciting :)

Thanks Again everyone. I love all of you!
