Premeditated Pseudonym

15|Year of Prosperity

The new year brought so much prosperity into our lives. Madison had her first celebrity dental appointment, Jason got all marks in his tests, I got a promotion and Sarah wrote her ISSE exam and she knew she did well.

Joshua Cardinal, from the Chicago Cubs major league baseball team, made an appointment for January 27th, to do a root canal procedure at Madison's private dental lab. She came home pretty excited that day when she received the phone call. I thought something was wrong when she came home out of breath but then I learned of her celebrity appointment. I was so happy for her since I knew she was well qualified in her field of expertise.

These celebrities also spend a lot of money when it comes to making them seem perfect. Once she does a good job on him, it's possible for him to put her on the map and recommend her to all of his friends and family. Jason although so little, is a very intelligent young man. Madison carried him to do a private test that would determine if he was ready for pre-school.

Upon correction and revealing his marks. It was said that he surpassed all the students in his age bracket and was ready to skip pre-school and enter elementary school at once. I guess he got his father and mother's mental combined so it wasn't a big surprise, but a surprise nonetheless.

Since my suspension, I returned to work and due to the big noticeable improvement, I received a promotion from going out in the field to the I.T Department. It was safer and it had flexible hours, so I could work whatever time and see my family as well.

The agency also made me a jack of all trades, so I can work I.T and be out in the field at any point in time I felt comfortable. I wasn't the highest-ranked agent but I was immune from certain things on the job. Another good thing was Sarah's ISSE exam she took in order to enter a private school.

We were waiting on results but the examiner felt she did well, from her observation. Madison and I are both thankful for these blessings and to celebrate, we would go to the Sugar Sand Festival in April. We will take a family trip and enjoy it together. I mean what's better than sandcastles on the beach with family, especially when you can see famous artists sculpting in front of your eyes.

I'm not sure if it was the excitement but the beginning of the year literally dragged. I felt as if April was the last quarter of the year. Madison and I were so busy with work that when we got home, we barely had time for the kids, much less each other. Luckily Jason and Sacha were asleep when we got home.

I had to thank Ryan and Lauren for watching the kids while we were at work. Danville was too far to drive by the time we got home, so they stayed with us for a while. The kids and Madison were also happy they were around more often than usual.

The next couple of months were really hectic for both of us. Between work and preparation for the wedding, getting and meeting with the wedding planner, also choosing a dress and color scheme. I was literally burned out. I prayed that this day would be perfect and soon to come because I'm not sure how much more I can take.

Rishidi was the least stressed about this whole thing. It's like he doesn't even care to get married, but I should stop that kind of thinking since that's what separated Taylor and me in the first place. I came up to him and asked: "how come you're so calm and stress-free babe?" He put me to sit on his lap, "My love, I'm stressed as well but I was brought up to always smile and appear stress-free in times most difficult. That's why I highered the wedding planner" he explained.

After talking with him, I realized just how easy it was to communicate without starting a fight. Rishidi was a real man who knew just how to handle his business. I admired him for that and the way he can get me to listen to him when I'm in the most stubborn of moods.
