Calling it Quits....

It's been awhile since I've taken the time to write anything. But a lot has happened. First of all, I went to my little sister's wedding in Minnesota with Angelina, her son Marquix, and my kids. It was such a nice wedding and we had a real nice time. Minnesota was beautiful and the weather was perfect. I'll spare you all the details, but I'd love for you to check out my brother's blog. He was the official photographer (one of his many talents) and put a lot about the wedding in his blog. Go to: http://www.leslankhorst.blogspot.com/.



Last week, Angelina and I called it quits. I think that's why I haven't written anything recently. I had to wait until I was ready to talk about it, I guess. I'm not sure if I am, but since I've already started I might as well go on. We'd been going through some counseling with our pastor Barry (who is great, by the way!) and both came to the conclusion (after several meetings) that it's in the best interest of our children and ourselves to end the relationship while we're still friends. For the better part of 3 years, Angelina and I have had a very hot and cold relationship. At times we were so happy it was unbelievable. At other times we were at each other's throats. Unfortunately, the latter seemed to happen much too frequently. I think after trying for 2 1/2 years, you just end up with too much bad stuff to overcome. We still care for each other deeply, but I think it was just that we didn't bring out the best in one another.



Angelina is such a great person. She's so loving and generous. I miss her. I wish her nothing but the best.

Peace.
