Chapter 34
So, what is there left to tell you? Well, we've been back in Cameron for a little over six months now, although it's gone so quickly it doesn't seem like that long! We just recently moved into our new house & although there is still a lot of work to do on the inside I still think it's the most beautiful house I've ever seen! It's hard to believe it is really my home!! The decorating keeps me busy when Jeff is away working so I'm not complaining!
Talking of work, Shane calls me at least once a week asking me to go back to work for the WWE! It's flattering & very tempting too, but Mike is settled here, we have a routine & school is going great for him too! If both me & Jeff were always on the road then God knows what effect that would have on him! So, as much as the offer tempts me more & more each week, I don't think I will ever go back to work for Shane! Then again, the way my life has turned out I should have learned by now to never say never! Stranger things have happened!! I'm living, breathing proof of that! I've been to a couple of shows since we came back, talked to Adam again & even met his wife! Yes she is lovely & yes they make the perfect couple! As much as he loves her I know how hard this has been for him, although he'd never admit it! But we're friends, (Ok so we're not 'Rachel & Joey' friends!!) but we're friends all the same! He's happy, I'm happy...it all turned out ok in the end! Who would have believed that a year ago? Certainly not me that's for damn sure!! As I Said at the beginning of my story, Michael is now a Hardy, but it's not how you think! Jeff & I aren't married, not right now anyway! We just went through all the legal crap & eventually got Mike's name changed to Hardy! That's what the little guy wanted & who am I to stand in his way? If Jeff & I had been together when he was born it would've been his name anyway so I didn't object! Yes Jeff has asked me to marry him on more than one occasion, but I turned him down every time! I know it sounds stupid but after everything we've been through to get where we are today, marriage doesnt seem like a necessity to me! We've come through years of shit, years of heartache...marriage is just a piece of paper when you can survive all the other stuff & come out smiling! Again I'm not saying we will never get married, maybe one day it will feel like the right thing to do, but we have the rest of our lives ahead of us to discover that! I like things the way they are right now & thankfully Jeff understands that! We're both happier now than we've ever been & both completely devoted to each other so why get married? It wouldn't change anything but my name! On the other hand, Matt & Amy will be getting maried in around eight weeks time! I'm really looking forward to being Amy's chief bridesmaid...and who knows? Maybe I'll even bag me the best man at the end of the night if I'm lucky!!! Over in Oz Rhett & Jenny are expecting their second baby! I'm goiong to be an aunt again in about four months time & I can't wait! I am a little sad that they are so far away though, I miss them like crazy!
Greg & Louise got married last month & are blissfully happy! We don't see all that much of them because of Greg's job, but we keep in touch all the time! Dad & Kellie are ok! Dad had another little scare not so long ago & we all thought it was another heart attack! Thankfully we were wrong & he only needed to stay in hospital overnight! I do worry about him though. He's not getting any younger & the thoughts of facing life without my Dad scare the shit out of me! He says I fuss too much but I know secretly he loves having me around to drive him crazy!! I know most of us think their Dad is the best Dad in the world but somehow I believe I'm the only one who is right! He is the best & life without my old 'Pops' would be inbearable! I'm happy that Michael has these years to grow up with his Grandpa & 'Gum' living 5 minutes up the road!!
Gilbert is still smiling! I don't think he has stopped smiling since Michael & I got here!! I guess 'Old Yoda' was the only one who truely believed we'd make it! He adores Michael & loves being a Grandad & he is always there for us no matter what! They broke the mould when they made Gilbert Hardy! He is the sweetest man on God's earth & I'm thankful for every day he is a part of our lives! So, back to me I guess! What else is there to say? I think I've told you just about everything that has happened in my life so far! In the end I got my prince....ok so he wasn't on a white horse but that's a mere technicallity!! I never in my wildest dreams thought my life could turn out this way! I'm happy & I'm with the man of my dreams! How many of us can truthfully say that? Ok so I guess I took the long route around but the end result is the same! Everytime Jeff walks into the room it makes me smile! Everytime he touches me it takes my breath away!! When he holds me I feel safe & when he kisses me I go weak! Every day I keep thinking maybe I'll wake up & this was all a dream......yeah I know I sound like I'm about to turn into a Celine Dion classic here...but it's all TRUE!! If you are in love or have ever been in love then you will know exactly what I'm talking about! If you have never been in love.....then hold on tight....one day I could be reading your story!!!
