So Hunter has continued to thrive at school and has settled into the middle school swing without much effort....Yippie. He has become an independent student and is doing well all on his own. I am excited to say he can actually take care of his homework and school responsibilities without his mother hanging over his shoulder. This definitely comes from Eric's genes, he was always a better student than I was. Again I have to thank Eric, I am not sure we would survive each other if he was like me. Hunter continues to amaze me with regards to school and I hope it stays that way. He has also continues with the boy scouts and has made it second class....he enjoys the activities with the boys and I enjoy the fact that I don't have to camp with him anymore. He has grown and matured because of scouts and I am thankful he continues to want to be involved. Finally he has begun another season of baseball, he is in majors now and playing with the big kids....it is hard for me to believe that he is old enough to be one of the big kids. He loves ball and loves this time of the year, we are lucky to have a wonderful coach, not only a family friend but a wonderful man who loves Hunter and wants the best for him. This makes it easier as a mom, I know he is well taken care of and will be guided to be the best player he can be with positive love and support. Hunter continues to amaze me with his sense of humor and positive attitude. Every day he reminds me of Eric and I am so glad that I can see Eric in him, Eric would be proud of his son...just as I am.
As for me I am busy at Hunter's school, I wear many hats and Hunter's enjoys the fact that I am able to be there for him and enjoys seeing me on campus. I have continued working on me, physically and mentally. Somedays are easier than others but I am happy to say I have more positive days than others. I have begun dating and have someone in my life that I enjoy spending time with and he enjoys spending time with us. He is someone that I new as a child and we recently reconnected. Talking about this personal information in this public forum is a little different but I feel it is important to share, I knew that at some point I would date and of course I know that everyone expected me to date but nonetheless it does feel a little different to put it out to the world. For now I just want everyone to know that I am in a happy place, Hunter is in a happy place and it is nice to have someone in our lives that makes us both happy.
I never thought I would ever be in this situation, nor did I ever think I would survive the 1st year but it seems that I am and I did......I am thankful for all the support, without it I certainly would be in a different place.
Love to all,
Hallie
