FUN IN HAWAII

My girlfriend Kate was able to go to Hawaii last month to visit a friend of her's. I am so glad that she got to go because if anyone deserved it she did. Like myself Kate is a single mother of two sons, Alex 18, and Jared 17.

Kate and I have been really good friends for a very long time (to be exact, we met right before Vanessa was born and right after her son Jared was born). We had been next door neighbors for a very long time, but with her working during the day and I was busy raising my 6 kids we never talked before. Right after her son was born I decided that it was time to finally meet her and her husband Tom. And should I say the rest is history.

When Kate decided to leave her husband and file for a divorce, her and her sons stayed with the kids and I for a couple of weeks. I was already separated from Virgil and it was nice to have someone else around to talk to that was not a kid. But after two weeks Kate and her boys moved out and started their new lives in Orem. But even though they lived in Orem we would still always get together and go do fun things together with our kids.

We have seen each other through a lot of different stuff and I am so glad that she is still my friend. And I was so glad when she told me that she was going to be able to go to Hawaii for 9 days to visit another one of her friends I was excited for her. She deserved getting away and having some relaxation. Kate and her son Jared still live in ST. George and I am not able to see her that much, but we do text and talk on the phone a lot!!!! And I am so lucky to have her as one of my good friends.
