Moving Day is Approaching

It is amazing how much crap you can accumulate in 8 years of living in the same home!

As I am beginning the packing phase, since I am moving on Nov. 19th to a new home; I am learning we have alot of stuff.

It is a bitter sweet time for me I have also decided since this is the final phase of me realizing I am really divorced. My ex-husband and I built the home together we have lived in the past 8 years, and it is so surreal to be walking away from the home we built with the intent of never leaving. So needless to say I am very emotional on some days by knowing I am moving to a new to me home, with two kids and we don't know anyone whereas we are moving from a neighborhood that I love, and don't want to leave. But I need to be strong in hopes my children will adjust to their new home, and new life without their dad.

For now I have lots to do with packing each room in my home, and getting rid of lots of stuff too since my current home is almost 3700 sq. ft and my new house is almost 2000 sq ft. So elimination of items is in store! But also sometimes hard to do with all the centiments and items that bring back so many great memories of how my life once was.

My how life has changed

It is amazing to me how in one year just how much my life has changed...As some of you new I have recently gone through a separation period in May and filed for divorce from Chris. As of Sept. 19th I am officially divorced. I have two amazing kids which is one of the best things that came from my marriage of almost 10 years. Kennedy and Kelden are adjusting to our new lifestyle. Money is definitely more tight with one income, but were making it work. The kids are also learning to cope, knowing daddy is not around at this time (by his choice). I am sure eventually he will come around when he is ready, but also know we are both learning what to do in our new lives.

I have recently decided to try out the dating world, LOL. Let me tell you it is so different from when I was in high school and my first year of college. There are so many new ways of talking, dating, and asking people out whether its online, facebook, or texting. I feel like this blog will be my continuing efforts to inform you all of where im at emotionally, or how my little family is doing.
