Adventures of Ethan and April

We walked outside , it was so quiet and clear . Nothing made a noise the peace overshadowed the clouds with heavy gray in the sky. It was almost time for Ethan’s birthday . And what a amazing day it would be . So close to fall . The leaves changing colors . The smells of falls changing the air. Making it smell more fresh and calming than before. A new vegan latte coming out from Starbucks . I couldn’t wait to try it . A delicious apple crisp latte with oat milk . I imagined me and Ethan drinking them and happily going to universal . It sounded like such a peaceful time . Me , my son , and riding rides for the best day . I pictured eating richters vegan burgers . And thinking of the times we spent there as a whole family.

Then life changed and me and Ethan were all we had . Sometimes I miss the times I had a person . But I guess it just wasn’t meant to be . It still made me feel sad at times. Even though the situation wasn’t best for me or Ethan . It still hurts a lot when you care about someone but you don’t seem to matter . Ethan’s been wanting to take the bus . And it’s been a lot harder on me than I’d like to admit. Missing him is the hardest part of my day . Missing his dad even though it’s been so long . Only seeing him when it was time for child support .

Nobody tells you how hard it is even though you didn’t get along . Nobody tells you how bad it will hurt. But it’s ok and that’s life now I guess. It feels more positive now than it did before. I don’t cry nearly as much . And my mindset is getting better . I wonder if that person ever cared . You wonder how much of it was real . How much of it was just your emotions . How much of it was meant . If one was meant how does someone behave so differently . I loved that person a lot . And some days I wonder if I’ll ever forget . Or will it always be on my heart the rest of my life . Either way it was a more positive outlook today .

I cried a little , whipped it off and then I went to the library to make my dreams come true . Tablet in hand and ready to write . Ready to learn and experience new skills to put to use. Wanting a kombucha and Dave’s killer bread so bad. I really loved that and dipping it into good earth queso. I really love being vegan I know not everyone has had that experience. But I’m luckily enough to have experienced being vegan . And how that feels it’s amazing and I love it . Nothing makes you feel better than being vegan . Such delicious food can be made vegan . I see more and more items pop up and I absolutely love it .

I love three things Ethan , vegan food , and Orlando theme parks . My love for universal studios , and Disney run . My appreciation for Harry Potter definitely influences where I go the most . I love riding rides more than anything in the world . Universal definitely is the most amazing place ever. And someday soon I want to go with my son . I miss Florida and the palm trees. I was going to travel to a different city. And be happy there with my son . With good job opportunities I am still excited for that . I did yoga and went to the gym . Then it was time to pick my Ethan up. Dear Ethan , my precious love , picking up you is the best part of my day. I walked from the library to get my son.

It was luckily still warm outside . Not impeding on my want to go outside . I missed the vegan restaurants around me . I missed the vegan buffet . I missed being a hour and a half from my favorite place. I missed my home and I missed my pets. But I knew I was building a new one . A new home a new nest with new abilities perfect for me and Ethan.

I dreamed of staying at the lowes portifino, and sapphire falls . I thought of how great it would be to stay at a luxury resort . Having a amazing comfortable bed . Me and my son all snuggled up and going out for breakfast. I really want to eat that vegan buffet at Orlando . The universal character buffet has vegan options and it was so delicious . It is always so fun and magical and I want to do that for my son too. Going to the trex cafe with my son would be the most fun ever . I want to have a birthday party there for him. They have beyond burgers and lots of things for my little omnivore. I would love to be there now . Basking in the warmth and swimming in crystal clear pools. I would stay in a suite and just enjoy my days .

I got so excited finally I get to see him . I always get wrapped in the anticipation of it that I miss him so much . Then I stand in the gym door until he is there . Then I grab him and ask him about his day . I waited and watched . And watched and waited so much . My eyes getting bigger and bigger . Where is my Ethan . Then he came out around the corner . And I hugged him so big . “How was school today ?” “It was ok.” He always answered the same way .

I went home and checked my email we got funding for free travel to Orlando . I got so excited because I had been trying for this . I got all the information I needed then I got two tickets in the mail . To universal we go. I saw the life we wanted slowly coming into horizon . A nice car that runs efficiently. A amazing job and writing too. Making dents in my book I wanted to write . And good weather all year . I could see us me having a pumpkin juice and Ethan a butter beer .

A smile on his face everyday after struggling so long . A amazing apartment near the park . The happiest moments we could of ever had. And it was me and Ethan . We did it and we made it together . We would workout everyday together and dance in our home and be happy. We would smile everyday again . Our life would be so happy I was so excited. In a week we would go. I got a great job with a sign on bonus . I got Ethan in daycare immediately. I worked two weeks and we had enough for a apartment . The new job was so amazing and paid me so well . I was so happy . Everything finally was going so well .
