Ok, I know I've been gone for a long time. A lot has happened. We moved back to the states. We got a second cat. I had a car accident. I had a miscarriage. We got a third cat. I got a job, then I got a different job. I had a baby. We bought a house. We got another cat. (Yes that makes four for those of you keeping track and laughing). I quit smoking, which means I need something to distract me and keep my hands busy. I joined Ipsy. I LOVE it! I am now obsessed with makeup and skin care and samples! I also signed up for Influenster. It's a little more work, but they do send some great stuff for FREE.<br />
<br />
So.... That leads me to my latest product review. I got these Cutex Advanced Revival Nail Polish Remover Pads. They come individually packaged with one felt pad inside. I expected it to be really thin like a baby wipe or an alcohol wipe. It's really thick and pretty saturated. I wouldn't have a problem doing both hands with one pad. I currently have on Sally Hanson Sensationail Gel polish on 8 of my fingers (it came off both my pointers at the pool the other day and I haven't repaired it yet). The cutex remover pads could really come in handy if you would be traveling and don't want to bring a full size bottle of remover. It also didn't dry out my skin like acetone remover does. However, it wouldn't work very well on gel polish. I will definitely pick some of these pads up for my toenails though the next time I'm at the store.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I also received the new Sinful Colors Limited Time Porcelain Matte nail polish in "We're All Matte Here" color. The color is pretty but this polish really isn't my cup of Diet Coke ;) you guys know I don't drink tea....<br />
Anyhow, it went on smooth and as it dries it turns matte. The only thing this is good for in my opinion is letting me know it's dry. I don't like the matte look at all. I might be using my Cutex remover pad to take this right back off and put something shiny on again. Now if you like the matte look, this is great stuff. Even coverage and pretty colors. The second coat didn't go on as smooth as the first but not as thick as the Sally Hanson Miracle Gel. The first coat of that stuff always goes on great and then I muck it up with the second. That's the main reason I don't buy that anymore. I think I'll stick to the real gel with the uv light. Don't forget your nail shield gel based strips though! They are a lifesaver when it comes time to take off your polish! A little soak in water and you can peel them right off without damage. They take a little extra time to put on but it's sooo worth it. I can make these nails last 2-3 weeks with a few touch ups occasionally. Ok, now I'm really off subject. I'll come back to my obsession with the gel nails at a later time. I have pictures to add for you but I'm having technical difficulties so hopefully I get back to that as well. And not in 3 years this time.<br />

Sorry. I have pictures from a few more trips in Europe to post but they will have to wait until another time. What you're going to get isn't even going to be a very well written post. Today I want to tell you about someone very important to me that I have to say goodbye to.<br />
<br />
Most people my age aren't lucky enough to still have all their grandparents. I won't go into exactly how old I am, but lets just say I'm getting up there. I don't know if it's like this for everyone but I tend to get people stuck in my head at a certain age and that's how old they are to me forever. For my brother it's three years old. I will always remember him calling the kittens at my grandma's house, "Here titty titty titty!" with his squeaky little voice. For my mom, she's continuously 36. I'm not sure why she's stuck at that age, maybe that was the year I became aware of her age. Anyhow I'm getting dangerously close to her age...that can't be right! My grandpa will always be about 65 in my head. Even at 65 he was still building houses, golfing every weekend, teaching us to shoot with a bow and arrow in his backyard. My grandpa played games with us. He has always been a practical joker. He likes puzzles and Where's Waldo. He could make anything out of wood. I still have several pieces that he made that have now been passed down to my daughter. Last year he turned 91. It seems hard to believe. It hasn't been that long since he quit golfing and building things. My grandma and grandpa recently sold their home and moved into an assisted living facility. Last Monday my grandpa had a massive heart attack and was put into CCU. We were told he may not live much longer and made an emergency drive up to visit him. Thankfully we got to see him and he has stayed pretty stable during our visit. He was transferred to hospice care yesterday. I don't know how much longer my grandpa has to live but I know exactly when I have to say goodbye. We have to leave on Friday morning. Tomorrow night I have to go say goodbye to my grandpa for the last time. We won't be able to come visit again anytime soon and probably won't be able to come back for his funeral so this is it. I wish I could stop time. One day just isn't enough to say tell someone how much you love them and say thanks for all they have meant to you your entire life.<br />

If some of my friends see this and are upset that I didn't call you while we were here, I hope you can understand why. This visit was about family. We didn't know how much time we would have and didn't want to make plans. Very few people knew we were here.<br />

I've been making lists for a while, and purging but we finally sat down and physically sorted through our belongings last night. Our cat is freaking out thinking we are going to leave him behind. He keep sneaking into our suitcases!</span><br />

We still have a little bit of time left before we actually have to get on a plane so hopefully we can fit in one last trip somewhere. For those of you just arriving my advice to you is apply for your tourist passports as soon as you find out you're coming. <a href="http://hborstad.blogspot.de/2012/01/passports-get-your-passports.html" target="_blank">(I know you get no-fee passports from the government but you can't use those to travel in Europe. See my previous post about that here.)</a> Start practicing for your USAEUR drivers license and taking the practice test online over and over until you can pass it without any wrong. That way you can get out and travel as soon as your vehicle gets here. There are a lot of four day weekends here. At least one a month. You can do a lot of travelling on four days without even having to use any leave! Make a list of all the places you want to see and try to make it happen. I'm grateful for all we got to see and experience. Do a lot of reading about the places you want to go. Most of all be open and prepared to change. Things aren't exactly like the states, but that doesn't mean it's bad. People spend entirely too much time complaining and comparing and forget what an amazing opportunity they have to see what others will only dream of. It's scary but exciting!<br />
<br />
We're sad to be leaving, there are still a lot of things we would like to see but it's time for us to go home. We're both excited to get back to familiar stores, air conditioning and family and friends. I'm excited to get back into an actual house and out of this stairwell. We've made it ours during our time here and it has served it's purpose but I won't be sad to say goodbye to Apt 1A. It'll be a lot harder to say good-bye to Europe.<br />

Part of the castle is in ruins, but part of it has been maintained and is furnished. You can tour the castle for free although they do accept donations and have a few items for sale in the lobby. There is a modern pay toilet in the basement of the castle. You can drive right up to the castle and park in the courtyard. There is also a touristy souvenir shop right next door but they have very good prices on their items.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I've read articles and posts in the past about why
photographers charge the amount that they do. I agree that a lot more goes into
it than what most people consider. (When I have been on the other side of the
camera I'll admit that I didn't think about all the factors involved.) However since I'm not as experienced I don't feel I've
earned the right to charge what my time is really worth. If I offer to do a
session with no session fee I am giving you 1-2 hours of my time (and you are
too) for free. It doesn't end there though. Once I get home I spend hours going
through your photos, choosing the best ones and editing them and burning them
to a disc. This entire process can take anywhere from 5-12 hours depending on
how many photos I took and how much editing I do. At a minimum we're looking at
6-14 hours of time out of my schedule and away from my family. I'm not even
going to talk about equipment or gas or any other charges. JUST time. I donate
6-14 hours of my time nearly every weekend. Sometimes twice in a weekend. I
often annoy my husband by scheduling a session or two on a long weekend when we
could be travelling and enjoying our last few months in Europe. So if I make time for you, please have the
courtesy to not ditch me to go with another photographer at the last minute.
It's an insult to my generosity, my creativity and my skill.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What if the chance to photograph a fun interesting session
came along so I cancelled my session with you at the last minute? That would be
unprofessional at the very least. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a customer or client of course you have the option to
choose any photographer you want. I'd like to think people choose me because
they like my work, not because I offered them a discount or a free session.
Once you've chosen me, I put everything aside to accommodate your needs. If you need to change a time or date I'd much rather you ask me than just cancel. All
I'm asking is that you be respectful of your photographers time. Especially if
you not even paying them for it. <o:p></o:p><br />

I like to stand out and be different. (Not tattoos on my face or shaved head different, but more of a "Ooh, look! I've never seen a camera strap like that before!" way.) I have entered numerous contests trying to win myself an Epiphanie camera bag. If you haven't seen them, <a href="http://www.epiphaniebags.com/Default.asp" target="_blank">check them out here</a>. They are gorgeous! They are also around $150-185 which I don't feel comfortable spending on myself right now. Maybe someday, but right now some new business cards, lighting, a new lens; all those things seem a little more urgent. So I keep entering contest hoping like heck that I'll win. Someone has to win them right?<br />

My other fantasy indulgence item that I want purely because it is so pretty is a camera strap from <a href="http://gabrielakoopmans.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Straps Made With Love</a>. She has so many hand crafted straps, many of them one of a kind. They too are a little more than I wish to spend at the moment but not nearly as extravagant as the camera bag. I am entering a contest over at<a href="http://susannevedvik.femelle.no/2012/10/31/konkurranse/" target="_blank"> Susanne Vedvik's</a> blog to try to win one. This is my second attempt at winning a camera strap. If I don't succeed feel free to purchase one for me as a Christmas gift, wink wink! I'm hoping maybe karma will be on my side this time.<br />

If you like to hike you can use one of the lower car parks and hike up through the forest paths (which is what we did without realizing there were other options) or you can park much closer to the castle and walk down a paved road. There is also a shuttle you can take for 1.50 Euro each. I would recommend walking down, and then taking the shuttle on the way back up to your car as it's a pretty steep hill going back up.<br />
The car park we used was called Ringelsteiner Muhle in Moselkern. There was a restaurant and I believe a hotel near the car park area. The sign said 40 min but it took closer to an hour and a half with a five year old dragging behind.<br />

If you do chose to park down below and do the hike, make sure you still go up the big hill. There is a great place to stop and take pictures. It's worth the walk.</div>

</div>
By the end of our trip we were pretty tired of driving so we drove down to Sweden and took an overnight ferry all the way back to Germany. It was terrific. It was like a mini cruise. I'm so glad we did it that way. It didn't even cost any more than gas and a hotel would have! The all you can eat seafood buffet was a little pricey but it was all inclusive and since we didn't have to drive, we indulged a little.<br />

All these rocks were dug out of the ground by hand. Trond was kind enough to let us take one home with us to put in our garden. I intend to paint our last name on it eventually although I haven't gotten around to it yet. That will be an entirely different blog post.</div>

The farm has been in the family the entire time. Trond's mother was married to my husband's great great great grandfather, but he is related by marriage only, not blood. He is a son from her first husband. He was so generous I was blown away. We arrived unannounced and yet he invited us in, put out coffee and cake. He even called the local priest to meet with us and give us a tour of the church.<br />

(Part One)This one is going to be a hard post because we spent three days in Norway and visited so many places. It was gorgeous! The people were so friendly and helpful and the food was fantastic. What I'll do is split it up into three parts... Gjovik, Ness, and The Borstad Farm.<br />

We stayed at a hostel but since there were four of us we were able to get one of the cabins. It was much more private even though it was small. There were two bunk beds, a small kitchen and a small living room with a couch and a bathroom. I took pictures but I promised my family I wouldn't post them. Here is a view of the outside.<br />

They served a pretty normal European breakfast here in the mornings, except that they had caviar in tubes. I'm guessing caviar isn't so expensive there due to all the fishing? And since it was in a tube it was probably discount caviar LOL!</div>

The first thing we did was meet up with a distant cousin of my husband's who still lives in Gjovik, Norway. She came and picked us up and took us on a tour of the town. She showed us the harbor, the lefse factory, the glass factory and the church and cemetery (which used to be Vardal).<br />

It rained off and on a lot while we were visiting. It was almost like Baumholder. One minute the sun was shining and the next it was foggy or raining and then back to sun again. I didn't mind though. It was gorgeous there even in the rain.</div>

The only think I didn't try was the beer because in Norway there is zero tolerance for driving and drinking. You can't have anything to drink if you are driving. I even tried horse meat! It was actually good. Just don't tell anyone ;)</span></div>

You'll have to forgive me but I believe all the pictures I took were from the car. I have some relatives from Sweden, but we didn't have time to stop and look (My mother's father is full Swede!)<br />

There were lots of farms. The land was pretty flat. It almost reminded me of South Dakota. Maybe that's why so many immigrants chose to settle there? Similar climate and land? It's kinda funny. You'd think they'd want to go somewhere warm!</div>

After Berlin we started making our way up to our final destination of Gjovik, Norway to see where my husband's family came from and a nearby town where my mother's relatives originated. We drove from Berlin up to the northern coast of Germany to Rostock, Germany and drove our car onto a ferry to Denmark. I'd never been on a ferry before and I loved it! We were able to go up to the top deck and take pictures.<br />

We accidentally wandered into an open air concert. There were drunk people everywhere, gay pride groups, and I'm pretty sure some drugs. Not the best place to wander into after dark with a five year old. Oops!</div>

I don't want this to be a tutorial on how to find your relatives, but to share the joy we had in finding ours. Visiting the places where my ancestors lived and died is very exciting to me and I may never have a chance like this again.<br />

Father's day weekend we made our first trip to Oberjettingen, Germany (which is now just called Jettingen - Oberjettingen and Unterjettingen were combined to make one single town) to see where my Great Grandfather (x Thirteen) and his family lived and was buried.<br />

I find it helpful to take photos of places I might like to use in the future so I can better visualize what I want to shoot, and it helps me remember certain locations later. Here are some new places I found today. ( I took my pumpkin along so I'd have something to focus on...and I thought it'd be fun for him to et out of the house ;)<br />

As a side note, I took this opportunity to work on back button focusing and manual focus. They didn't all turn out, but it went pretty well! I love learning new skills!<br />

Last month my father-in-law came for a visit and we took a few trips. The first place we went was Berlin. None of us had been there before so it was something new for us. The hotel we stayed at was nice but apparently not in the best neighborhood. There were some, ah hem, "ladies" working on the corner outside. I use the term ladies loosely since up close they looked a little more like men ;)<br />

We decided since we were only in town for two days to go ahead and spend the money on the hop on/hop off bus passes. I think it was well worth it. We stopped at Checkpoint Charlie and walked around the area a little bit. Outside the museum is a border crossing post where some fellows set up a shop where you can pose for pictures and get your passport stamped. The stamps were pretty neat but after reading some information afterwards, I'm wishing I hadn't gotten them in my actual passport. Hopefully this doesn't cause any problems next time they get checked! Hailey got hers on her hand. Smart girl!<br />

We also went to the East Side Gallery where there is still a portion of the Berlin wall that has been painted by various artists.<br />

We also made a stop at the Brandenburg Gate and witnessed some street performers got some Dunkin Donuts and rushed around looking for a bathroom for my (at that time) four year old. Finally a nice bellhop outside a fancy hotel let us come in and use their bathroom. Now that I'm looking at the pictures, there was a port a potty right outside the gate!!!! We walked all the way around that entire block looking for a bathroom, sigh!!<br />

I always give my clients a DVD with their images, but I ran out of sleeves and needed something a little classier than a folded sheet a paper to protect the disc. I decided to make my own envelopes which I am quite pleased with. I love that I can customize the design on the outside of the envelope by printing a different design on the paper.<br />

You can use this method to make larger or smaller envelopes depending how big you make the the square. For bigger envelopes use large sheets of scrapbook paper.</div>

We've had lots of adventures that I will eventually get around to posting but right now I want to share my thoughts on photos as a (aspiring) photographer.<br />
<br />
A photographer once told me that she doesn't do discs at all because that client might print a photo at home, or at a discount photo lab where the quality wasn't up to her standards and that would reflect poorly on her skills. She's didn't want her name associated with a poor production. In this age of digital photography, social media and email I don't think that is realistic. What's to stop that client from taking a print they bought from her and scanning in a poor quality copy? I'd rather take the time to make sure the client gets full quality prints on their disc so that anything they do upload is of exceptional work.<br />
<br />
One of the biggest complaints I've heard from people (and I've had this complaint myself in the past) is that after they have photos taken by other photographers is that they only get to see a few photos. They know the photographer took hundreds of photos and yet when they get their proofs there may only be ten to twenty shots. Have you ever had photos taken and you are looking forward to seeing how a certain pose came out, or a location came out and it's not even in your photos?<br />
<br />
I understand why photographers do it. They don't want you to see that over half their photos didn't turn out and they know that you aren't going to order that blurry photo so it gets discarded. While I understand this, I have also been in the position of the customer and feel that it's important for the customer to see the photos that didn't turn out as well. While I'd love for people to think every photo I shoot looks amazing, those not so great photos can still be great memories to that family. After all, you might not be in love with the same photos that I am.<br />
<br />
A friend recently shared a story with me that explained my feelings almost exactly. They were on a family vacation and her daughter was posing by a fountain. The husband was taking photos when the daughter fell into the fountain. The pictures may not turn out to be print quality photos, but those 3 shots of her on the fountain, falling into the fountain, and then standing up dripping wet are priceless to them. What if that happened on a photo shoot and your photographer left them out of your gallery? You would still want them right?
<br />
<br />
For example: This was my original vision....

I recently took first birthday pictures for a family and the birthday girl had finally had enough. She just sat down and cried. Before we wrapped the session I shot a picture of her wailing. No one is going to print that photo, but I included it in the family's disc for them. As my friend told me, it's important to capture reality as well. Is your family always a smiling perfect family?<br />

There is the wive that throws her husbands rank around, the wife that sits home all day stuffing her face with Twinkies gossiping about the neighbors, the wife that's at the club every night while her husband is at war, the wife that is involved with every volunteer position imaginable. Stereotypes always start with some truth, but those truths don't apply to everyone. I want to tell you what being a military wife is like for me. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been a wife, period, for eight years and 1 month. I've been a military wife for eight years and a week, so if you do the math I married my husband about three weeks before my husband went to basic training. I don't really know what it's like to be a civilian wife. I spent the first five-six months or so of our marriage by myself, going to work, writing him a letter every single day & waiting for his letters and phone calls. When my husband finished AIT we moved to our first duty station about 17 hours away. I didn't know anyone and I'd never been that far away from home before. Everything was new, exciting, scary and different. I got a job, made some friends and since we lived off post my life didn't seem much different other than being so far away. There were the occasional late night calls that woke me up, summoning my husband to some random inspection or surprise drug testing but other than that and my husband leaving for several weeks at a time for field training it was a pretty normal life. Then after about a year of this new life my husband deployed to Iraq. Having never been through a deployment it was pretty scary. I was sure that my bad luck would mean he would never be coming home again. I prayed constantly for him. I stayed up late at night to talk to him though internet chat. I took care of everything around the house from maintenance, to car repairs, paying the bills, cooking, cleaning, shopping for care packages, going to FRG (support) meetings, still working, and waiting for phone calls. Of course during a deployment everything that can go wrong will. I think that's part of the test. Obviously a lot of the things I had to do during a deployment single people have to do all the time. It's nothing new to them. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Somehow my husband made it home ALIVE! A couple months after he arrived home I found out I was pregnant with out first (and right now only) child. Our lives went back to normal husband at home mode with the slight modifications of the pregnancy. We had a beautiful little girl and everything was great. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When our little girl was about 9 months old my husband deployed to Iraq for the second time. You would think this time would be harder with a baby. In some ways it was but in some ways it was easier because was already used to and knew what I needed to do. It was harder because I fractured my hip a couple months prior and was still on crutches when he deployed. I'll admit I had a lot of help from a good friend. She made it easy for me. About a week after he left our daughter started walking. It was emotionally hard to know he was missing her milestones and by the time he saw her again she'd have changed so much. We still talked online, sent care packages but I didn't go back to work after the baby was born. After daycare costs and gas I wouldn't have made anything. I don't really care for Twinkies though so I did not sit around and eat Twinkies. I kept plenty busy and my husband came home again. About a month after he returned we got orders for him to go back to AIT to re-class and immediately following his training we would report to Germany. WOW! What a shock. We'd been at that duty station for six years. This was something new, and scary and exciting and different again. The whole time he was at school I planned and planned for our next PCS move. Six months later he came home again to clear and we packed our bags for Germany. Everything worked it way out. Here we are, two years later. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So what's a military wife like? They're all different. They're definitely <b>not </b>Army issued. I find projects to keep myself busy. I'm a planner. I'm comfortable with myself which is good because I think that's pretty universal for military wives - we spend a lot of time without our husbands. I have a lot of hobbies. I love getting love letters and surprise packages. I hate waiting (but I have more patience than my husband.) I keep my mouth shut because even though <i>I'm</i> not in the military, I don't want my husband to pay for my big mouth. I've learned to accept whatever the Army throws at me and make the best of it. I get to dress up once a year and go to fancy balls. I do shop online, mostly because it's hard to find exactly what you want living in a foreign country. I'll admit I miss being able to go to the store at any hour. I've seen things my friends will only read about. I keep up with those friends online and rarely get to see or talk to them. I got to take my parents to Paris for their 40th wedding anniversary. I am proud of my husband and the things he gave up in the name of freedom. Will I be a different person when I'm no longer a military wife? No, I don't think so. The Army has taught me some important things that I will be grateful for though. I know I can take care of myself. I can fix the dryer, I can replace a hard drive. I can drive on the autobahn, or to Paris, or to Amsterdam. Military wives do have a weakness though. I think because of the nature of our husbands job, we move around more than the average family. My family has been lucky that we've only been to two places in the past eight years. Since we move, we have to make new friends. Friends are what get you through the tough times. I think that makes me a little less discerning than I should be at times, but I'm also a person that learns from her mistakes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As Burt Herman says, "You're not trying hard enough if you're not failing once in a while, we need to take chances and learn from our mistakes to move forward."</span><br />
<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></span></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Underneath it all I'm just me. "Army wife" is just a description you could use just like mommy, photographer, stay at home mom, volunteer, daughter, or friend. It's not a job. It's hard and sometimes it feels like my job to be strong but it's not my job. You don't get paid for it. I don't get paid to be a mommy either. It's just part of my life. Some day I will have a different life or description but I will still just be me. </span></span></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509738511252451203.post-68232641376166346622012-05-30T18:47:00.000-07:002012-05-30T12:34:31.022-07:00My Senior Year in Hell<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What inspired me to tell my story was a movie called "Trust." It's about a 14 year old girl who meets a guy online, meets him in real life and gets raped. I won't go into detail because I don't want to ruin it for you. It's a good movie but it was also sad and it brought up a lot of feelings from my past. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started thinking about why I started writing this blog. I wanted to put myself out there and be myself.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm going to tell you a story I haven't told many people. Only close friends and my immediate family. When I was 17 I was raped. I became a statistic. Statistically, most rapes are committed by someone the victim knows, and I knew him well. But lets back up. I grew up in a fairly small town. My best friend lived across the street and we met in kindergarten. We went to the same schools our entire lives. We went to prom together our Junior year, and our boyfriends were also best friends. Two best friends since we were five years old, dating two best friends from a neighboring small town. We lived next door to each other, worked at the same restaurant and had the same classes. How cute right? It stopped being cute the summer between eleventh and twelfth grade when her boyfriend started making sexual comments to me quiet enough that only I could hear. The first time it happened I didn't tell anyone. I blew it off. Then it happened again. I didn't say anything immediately, but I did tell her about it a short time later and that it made me uncomfortable. She talked to him., he said he'd been drinking and apologized. He said it wouldn't happen again. I was naive for a very long time. It wouldn't stop here, but that is for another story.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One night while my friend was at work and I had the night off, I went to a party with my boyfriend and her boyfriend tagged along. We had a couple beers, but I was home by curfew. My parents were sleeping when I got home. Her boyfriend asked to use the phone. My boyfriend and hers walked me into the house and into the basement where my room was. While her boyfriend was on the phone my boyfriend tucked me into bed and kissed me goodnight. I went to bed in my clothes. Her boyfriend left the phone by my bed when they left. I don't remember if I was alseep yet when the phone rang or not. I know I was very tired. It was her boyfriend calling saying he'd had a fight with her mother because he came in drunk (he lived with her and her parents across the street), and could he come sit at my house until she got home from work. The next thing I knew he had walked into our house and was in our basement. He asked me to sit on the couch with him while he watched TV. He tried to kiss me and I told him no. That didn't stop him. I told him no a thousand different ways but it didn't stop him from doing any of the things he did that I didn't want. When he was finished he put his pants back on and told me he was sorry. Then he left. I sat on the floor and cried. I considered driving up to the hospital (only a few blocks away) and telling them I'd been raped, but I'd been drinking and I was afraid I'd get in trouble. I didn't hit him or kick him because he had a history of violence and I was scared. I never cried out for help when it was happening partly because I didn't want my father to see me being raped but mostly because I had those beers. Had I not been drinking that night things might have played out differently. I did make it perfectly clear that I wanted him to stop but that wasn't enough. I eventually went to bed. I called a rape crisis line a couple days later but I hung up on them. A couple weeks later my friend broke up with her boyfriend and I finally told her what happened. She made me tell an adult so we went together and told our manager at work. She convinced us that we needed to tell our parents so we did. We told her mom first and then mine. That was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. To see their faces when they realized what had happened. I told a couple friends, and one confessed to me that he had also tried to rape her. I called and told my boyfriend of two years what happened and he broke up with me. I guess best friends stick together. Well, some do anyway.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My friend's mother made a deal with him that she would pay him some money if he would leave the state and move to Washington. We agreed that if he did that we wouldn't press charges (because who really wants to live through it again in a courtroom?) and it worked. He took the money and moved his things out of her house. As he was leaving he told her family how sorry he was. Then he was gone. That summer I made an appointment with a women's shelter to talk to someone but they won't speak to you unless you've reported the rape to the police. They made me an appointment with the police but I forgot to go. I forgot a lot of things. I tried to forget what happened too. I met a new guy. He was very sweet. We went out on a few dates. Then my friend changed. She became angry with me. There was a period of a couple weeks right after school started where we were ok, but that ended quickly. She told me she had been talking to her (ex) boyfriend via phone and they were getting back together. I tried my hardest to understand why she would do this. We'd been best friends for twelve years and she was choosing a man who raped her best friend over me. He told her I seduced him, that I tricked him. I don't know what else he said to her but it worked. She hated me again. She rallied mutual friends to harass me. I was followed. I was threatened. It was very difficult to go to school, to work and even come home since she lived right across the street. One night I came out to find a dress I had loaned another friend on top of my car, shredded, burned and with a note that said I'd be next. I called the police but they didn't do much. I inquired about restraining orders but it seemed that was out of our reach financially and realistically since we went to school together, worked together and lived 50 feet apart. Looking back I don't know WHY I didn't quit that job. There are a ton of crappy jobs out there for teenagers (or there were then) but I kept suffering. My senior year was pure hell. HE moved back to town. I missed a lot of school which everyone seemed to be understanding about. Most everyone. I tried to talk to my vice principal about letting me transfer to a special school - the kind that helps teenage mothers, drop outs ect. He told me I must have done something to deserve this. He almost encouraged me to drop out of high school my senior year. I didn't have a lot of friends, but you don't need a lot. You just need a few, really good supportive friends and at least I had that. I am still thankful to this day to those few people. I also had a really good boyfriend and that helped too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Right before graduation my friend married the man who raped me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">High school ended. Me and my boyfriend ended, & I quit that job and went to college part time. I went to a rape victim support group a few times but I felt out of place there. They wanted me to talk about "my special gift that I have to offer the world" and I had no idea what they were talking about. My mom and dad sent me to a counselor a couple times but when I found out what it was costing them I quit going. The best thing about college was I didn't have to see her/them all the time and I started to feel better. A lot of things have happened since then and it gets a little better every day that passes. I still have a few issues. I don't like to be held down and tickled. It might sound silly but it makes me feel like I have no control and it scares me. I don't ever want to feel that way again. I felt really stupid and I made a lot of bad choices but deep down I know it wasn't my fault. A lot of the friends I have made since then have confessed to me that they also have been the victim of a sexual crime. I don't know if this means it happens a LOT more often than we realize or if I just happen to make connections with people that are similar to me. I am so thankful to all the wonderful friends that I have met along the way. I have never talked to the girl that lived across the street from me again. I know she is still married to him. I know they have children. I don't need to know any more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you've been through a similar situation talk to someone. If that doesn't work keep trying and don't give up. Things may be hard but they DO get better. I don't want people to feel sorry for me. I want to send a positive message that it will be OK. I don't know if I have done that. I still don't know if I will publish this, but at least I'm being real. (It took me almost 5 months to post this after I wrote it but here it is!)</span><br />
