How I'd like to be remembered
So I think it is finally time to... close this chapter of my life.
I have written here on and off for about 7 years, and while all the old posts are hidden from your view, I can still see and relive them should I ever choose to do so. It's not so much the writing that I look back on and want to save. It's the photos.
My external hard drive crashed about a year ago which had about 40 or so gigs of music and countless photographs from over the years. Some of the lucky ones survived because they were posted here. So, having said that - I am not going to close this blog down, just make this last post and move on.
For those of you I no longer speak to and wish I did... I am hoping for nothing but good things for you. It was so long ago that we knew each other, but will still get a smile on my face if something comes up that remind me of you. Please take care, be well and maybe our paths will cross again.
For those of you I no longer speak to and am glad I don't... - There was a reason we met, connected or reconnected and I may not know exactly why - but it was a path I was supposed to take. I am grateful for the lessons I did learn, and wouldn't be where I am today without having gone through those experiences. I am not going to say that I wish bad things for you; I just take comfort in knowing that God will sort it all out.
I have very exciting times ahead of me. The man of my dreams and I will be married soon and perhaps after that, a family of our own.
They say that when you meet 'the one', all the previous heartache and bullshit will be worth having waded through. It was... to an extent. I'm not going to lie. There is *a lot* of scare tissue in there from years of trial and error. But he is the most wonderful person I have ever encountered and each new day with him is a blessing all of its own. It is almost as if God was listening when I went through all my lists of things I was looking for (and wanting to avoid) in a mate. Even the weird stuff and minutia- it all works. Seriously, the guy is perfect for me.
So I leave you on a happy note and with a photo of me that was massively photoshopped, so you might remember me in an unrealistic, mannequinesque fashion.
The way it should be.

Much love, Jonna* a.k.a. Buster TeethIn

Whaaat??? No more blogging??? I've enjoyed reading your blog over the years, and actually admired how you were capable of posting your inner-most thoughts for others to read. I don't know that I could do that. I always took you for a very introspective person - very cool trait! I'm glad that you found (and appreciate) what you've been looking for. Life threw me a bit of a curve ball late in the game, and I didn't quite like the way it happened, but I'm moving on. Your final post struck a chord with me, so I figured that I'd chime in. Anyhow, once again I really do wish you the very best!

Cream puffs. mmmmm. I saw some the other day at the store and thought of you. And smiled.
Find me on Facebook? I am sure there will be another blog or place to put my pictures (for now it's on FB). This one just holds too many ghosts. Too many dark times.
Thanks for the well wishes and I return them to you in spades.
