    I was surrounded by my bridesmaids and was happier than I have ever been in my life. My mom curled my hair as my cousin, Sarah, did my makeup, and I just couldn't stop smiling knowing that I was about to marry my high school sweetheart. When the time came and I walked down the isle.
The smile on his face was priceless. My heart beat as fast as it alwasy does when im around him. This was it I told myself, I was marryimg the man I fell In love with.

"I do." 

"I know pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."

Everyone cheered as I kissed my new  husband. It was such an amazing day, I was marrying the guy I fell in love with in 9th grade.

I now was Mrs. Rosalinda Ramirez Carlson.

Or at least I was for a year and a half.

I found my neighbor's 18yr old daughter and John, now my ex husband, in bed together.

Yeah, true story, total heart breaker And not one I typically like talkimg about.

Because after it happened I pack my stuff and our son's stuff and left his ass.

I divorced John, and got custody of my little boy, Taylor, who was only 3

I moved to a small town called Osecola, Tennessee from Nashville. I wanted to start new. I was a single mother of 23, with a 3yr old kid, so I bought a house out in the country.

As I drove down the gravel road I passed several acres of ranches, it was a beautiful scenery and I fell in love with the place already.

When I saw my house In Person I knew I was doing the right thing by getting away.

I took Taylor out of his car seat and when we went inside I was amazed.

As I walked around I was stunned by the new house and lifestyle I was about to be getting into.

It had a giant kitchen, living room, one king size bed room, and 2 other rooms, each with a bathroom.

I know a lot for one and a half people.

"Wow." I said, knowing I did well.

I started picturing how I would set up all my stuff, when I heard a beep.

I picked up Taylor and went outside as my moving truck came, which My cousin and her boyfriend drove here.

"Wow Rosa! This is beautiful!" Sarah yelled.

"You should see inside." I responded.

We toured the house.

"Okay, we should start getting stuff in here. Its....1:35pm And if you wanna sleep here tonight we got to start now" said Ethan, Sarah's boyfriend.

I gave Taylor his toys and he sat on the living room floor and played while we constantly moved stuff in.

I was carrying a box inside when I heard a truck coming down the road.

The man in the truck slowed down and we made eye contact. He pulled into the driveway across the road, into the slightly bigger house, with a bunch of cattle and horses in the field alongside of it.

He got out the truck and waved. I waved back and he went inside.

We got everything inside by 8:00 that night and thanks to Ethan my bed was set up but when we went to go turn the lights on they didnt budge.

"of course they're not on yet, I fucking called the electric company yesterday. They were suppose to be on today."

"Well we can just go back to my house, if you're up for the ride?" Sarah suggested.

"Yeah that'll work. My phones almost dead and  I cant go without my phone"

"we gotta grab some food before we  get home though, I'm hungry." Ethan said.
"When are you not hungry?" Sarah laughed.

I picked up Taylor,who was sleeping on the couch along with his book bag of toys and set him in his car seat. Ethan locked up for me and drove back home.

The next morning I left Taylor with Ethan and Sarah and I went to make sure my water,gas,and lights were on.

We got back to my house just a little before 11. Everything was working fine.

Sarah stayed to help me clean up and unpack.

She set up my radio system and played some music while I set up my canvas' in my room.

After I did that I worked on Taylor's room.

By 3, Ethan came with Taylor. Taylor played in his new room while I made some sandwiches.

Sarah and I ate while Ethan got my cable going.

Everything was coming along slowly.
