D-DAY!!

I never actually thought that this day (yesterday) would arrive. But I am now an officially "divorced" woman. It was a bitter sweet day. I was sad as an ending had come to fifteen years of marriage. Something I thought that I would personally never see. As I left the courthouse, I felt like crying, that somehow I had failed. But, I know better. I was also happy that all of the craziness could be put behind me and that I could finally feel like I was moving forward with my life instead of sitting in limbo. It was a day to grow up and learn who I am (at the age of almost 37). Where I will go from here, I am not entirely sure. The only thing that I am still certain of is that my kids are the most important thing in the world to me. They are what it is all about right now and trying to make sure that they are healthy and happy. Right now, that is where my focus is. Making sure that they have what they need and helping them put their lives back together as well. It has been a long, hard journey, but we are embarking on a new (and hopefully better one) today. Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us and sent us words of encouragement over the past year. We were blessed to have wonderful friends and family.
