Marriage Isn't  exactly what I thought it would be, not that I'm not happy, but I just thought it would be different. Well not long after we got married I found out I was pregnant, I was so happy, although I wasn't as far along in my career as I wanted to be before we had kids, but oh well. 

Bao wasn't too thrilled when I told him the news , actually that would be an understatement, he was pretty angry, and just left to go hang out at the bar, he spends a lot of time there. I try to  keep up with my cooking, but it's not easy. I left my job since finding out I was pregnant, as I could no longer keep up with my duties. So I spend my days cleaning and playing with Rose since Bao spends most of his time out.

As the months passed Bao and I drifted further and further apart, we hardly speak and rarely see each other. When the day came for me to give birth, he couldn't even be bothered to come to the hospital with me, so I welcomed Ryu, my perfect baby boy into this word alone

The months passed and our anniversary came and went with out any recognition from Bao. He doesn't even spend any time with his son, it was becoming more and more obvious with each passing day that Bao never really loved me, he was just using me to stay in the country.

So guess what, My trip to China was amazing! Bao, that's the guy I met online, met me at the airport and showed all the sites, I only got to spend a week there, but I spent every moment I could with Bao, I really think I'm in love with him. While I was there I got to see all the sights and try the local cuisine, and I just have to say how amazing the egg rolls are, I've never had anything so good

 Well before I was ready it was time to go back home. I was devastated to have to leave Bao, but he promised he would come and visit just as soon as he can, so I have that to look forward to.

Getting home and getting back in the routine was not easy, I miss Bao, we talk every day, and he's working on coming to visit, but I still miss him terribly.

A few months passed and Bao has finally been able to get everything together to come and visit, and I can't wait. The day he arrived was so great. I met him at the airport and he had a surprise for me, he proposed right then and there! I was so excited, I said yes right away, and we went straight down to the court house and got married.

We went back to my place, well I guess our place, and we spent the rest of the day together, just the two of us. It was heaven, I'm finally happy.

So Matty....Yea so that's over, he apparently was only interested in me for a good time, I'm not that kind of girl.  So one night I decided to meet Matty at the club, we were having a good time dancing and kissing, man he was a great kisser...hmm oh yea, where was I? anyway, then things went bad,

 "c'mon Marie, you know I love you, let's go in the back and have some fun"
"Matty, I am having fun right here" " You know what I mean Marie, you say you love me, so show me" Matty said while pulling me towards the back. "This isn't what I want Matty" I say pushing him away."If you don't do this then we are through Marie!", he yelled at me , "Well then Matty I guess we are through"

The following morning I decided to buy something that I've always wanted, but couldn't have. You see growing up in foster care, I was shuffled from places to place so often  that even though I always wanted a dog, I was never allowed to have one, so I went right out and adopted one from the pound.

Her name is Rose, and she is going to be so spoiled, but finally I have my dog! I just love teaching her tricks, she's so smart, and picked up on the tricks so fast, I think we'll be very happy together.

A few weeks later I met I nice guy online, he's smart, funny, has a great job as a firefighter, the only downside is he lives in China, but I have entered to win a free trip, so hopefully I will win and then I can go see him face to face.

Hey there, my name is Marie Laveau, and this is my story.   I grew up in the foster system, constantly bounced from one home to the next, once I was old enough I left and came to the big city of Bridgeport, with the hopes and dreams of becoming a master chef

I can't say I was all that great, having never really worked in a kitchen, but I used to help out with my foster families and had a bit of a knack for cooking, so as soon as I got here I went and got me a job in a kitchen. It's not very glamours, but it's a start none the less. 

Speaking of new starts, I started seeing this guy, Matty Crewe. We've only gone out a few times, but definitely feel  the sparks, he makes me so happy,  I hope it lasts, as I haven't had the best luck when it comes to love. I tend to not get too close to people since it only ends in heartache
