Dawg Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 In the words of the great philosopher Doc Holiday....."There's no normal life Wyatt, it's just life. Get on with it." That quote has been my moto for the last couple years now and has helped me make it through some of the darkest days of my life. The spring of 2019 saw an end to the marriage I was in for 18 years. 18 years (20 total counting the dating years) gone, what seemed like overnight. Many lonely nights staring at the night sky wondering why. However, it was an uncontested split and everything went as smooth as it could monetarily and materially wise. She and I are still friends and co-parents. She married again in the fall of 2020. Her husband and I have become hunting and fishing buddies. I stayed "single" for most of 2020 with a few dates here and there. That all changed in August of 2020 when I met a girl who kept me intrigued. This girl wasn't one of the typical "dates". She soon gained my full attention. I began asking myself "Is this too soon?" "Am I ready to commit to another relationship with the wounds of the divorce still a little fresh?" The more I talked to her, the more I went on dates with her, the more time I spent with her soon gave me the answer I was looking for.......no it's not too soon and yes you are ready. She and I talked and dated for a few months before making it a steady relationship. We spent the holidays together, introduced one another to each of our families and by the spring of this year I was ready to pop the question. In April I booked a condo in Galveston for 4 days. Wined and dined her....probably a little more than I should have LOL.....and popped the question. Thankfully she said yes otherwise the obscene amount of money I spent would have stung pretty bad! We had a small wedding at the beginning of the summer with plans on having a larger ceremony next year. When I thought my best days were behind me she came into my life and made me realize the best days are far from over. She 100% supports me in everything I do. From hunting and fishing endeavors to nearly bankrupting myself starting a new business venture. She's been right by my side, encouraging me and pushing me when I've wanted to just give up on the business. Not only did I gain a wonderful spouse, I gained 2 bonus kids too. She has a daughter that is the same age as my daughter and a 5 year old special needs son who keeps us on our toes. I'm loving every minute of it!

Dad and I lost the private land that we've been hunting for several years up there. The family sold most of it and the little bit they held on to they turned over to an outfitter who in turn jacked the prices up. I wanted to try to make something happen this year on public land up there but no dice. If you are serious about it shoot me your number and let's get somethings rolling ahead of time.
