Lance is my very best guy friend. We have known each other for many years. I can't even count to be honest. Lance, you know? We've had a running joke for years of me calling him Lance and he calls me Meredith. I really don't know where Meredith came from, but it has stuck. Not until recently has our friendship grown and we now talk on a pretty much daily basis. And I am let known if we don't talk - hence today LOL We begin each texting conversation with Lance! Meredith! or our phone conversations with Hola! He's the best guy friend to ever have.
And I am *SO* excited to FINALLY meet after all those unmentioned years! We're going to the Luke Bryan (surprise, surprise right?) concert at the end of August and then the Reba (another surprise surprise lol) concert in October. I. Am. Stoked.
Thank you for being an awesome listener, a great advice giver, and friend who can make me laugh even when I wanna cry!
I love you Lance! (Wance!)

Change
Ok, I had written a TON for this blog and it has gotten deleted somehow :( Boo.
So, I was bragging about my monkeys about how they need to stop growing up! They are all 6 growing at top speeds. Kinda makes me sad :( Ok, it does make me sad. I feel like they are like my own kids. Which is strange to say because I don't have any of my own.
Nothing much going on but TV problems, insurance problems, bank problems, and an ex apparently disappearing off the face of the planet when his payment is due. Sigh.
The weather is changing and I cannot wait til the weather gets cool. Fall is my favorite season. Bonfires, orange, red, and yellow colors everywhere, haunted houses.. I can't wait!! But I feel like life is fixing to change, and I welcome it. It is definitely needed, so let's hurry up life, got it? Thanks!
Guess I'll finish off my Woodchuck and get ready for bed. Yes, it's not even 6pm but staying up til 3am two nights in a row is catching up to me. Hellooooo Ambien!

Welcome.
So, this is going to be my outlet to the world. To vent and to brag about my monkeys. And I don't care who reads it. Yes, even you. Mmk?
Well, let's get the formal junk out of the way. I'm Cori, obviously. Well, technically CoCo. I got the name as that's the nickname I was given as a baby and then it faded away - that is until Mason came along. He couldn't say Aunt Cori, so I was dubbed CoCo again and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm 27, and recently divorced. It's been a long road.. married and single again. You see, I married my high school sweetheart. We were together for almost 9 years before we separated and got divorced. That's a LONG time for someone who got married at the young age of 19.
Sometimes I regret it, and other times I don't. Because if I hadn't gotten married, I wouldn't be who I am today. I've learned a lot from those times and I am grateful for them now. I wasn't so much about a year ago, but can you blame me after the life I'd had? I have been through more than my fair share of stress for everyone around me.
I've learned a lot and experienced a lot in these few short 9 months. I've zip lined, dyed my hair blonde, gotten 2 more tattoos, my nose pierced.. stuff I don't believe I would ever done if I was still with Mike. Looking back, I was being held back and I believe he felt the same way. It just didn't work out - I get that.
Probably the BEST thing that has come out of marriage are three little monkeys. Emberlynn, Cohen, and Kyden. My niece and nephews. I'm connected for life to his family for those three reasons, plus my best friend. We've been best friends since like 10th grade, and then we married brothers lol
I have 6 little monkeys. A barrel! Emberlynn, 5, Cohen, 3, Mason, 3, Tucker, 2, Austin, 6 months, and Kyden almost 2 months. Emberlynn and Mason were born 2 years apart on Valentine's Day and Mason and Cohen are 7 weeks apart. They are all connected in some way, it's quite funny. Emberlynn and Cohen were born with Cystic Fibrosis and I do everything in my power to try and find a cure for it every day. I donate money, I do charity events.. I'd rather find a cure for CF than my own disease, Multiple Sclerosis. We are very fortunate that baby Kyden didn't have the disease, although he is a carrier.
I was diagnosed with MS May 2010, when I went numb on one entire side of my body. I try not to let it get to me and most times it doesn't, but for a long time I struggled with thinking that was the reason my husband left me, because he left that July. I thought he couldn't handle it and ran. But, I know better now and my MS rarely effects my life - and I want to keep it that way.
I'm going back to school this fall and I'm so nervous and excited! I'm finally doing something for me. I am going to be taking some photography classes and possibly advertising. I'm not sure on the last part. I haven't been in a classroom since the fall of 2002, so it's been awhile!
I've been on some dates with some real characters you could say. Ice scrapers and wrenches come to mind LOL I've had the very best first date ever, and I really hope a guy can trump that. No pressure ;)
So, this isn't everything about me, but we'll get to know each other along the way. Thanks for listening to me ramble, the first post is always so blah.
