Movin' on up

Moving home to Reno soon. We are so excited! The movers should be here the 22nd or the 23rd. Yep, we'll be driving during Christmas. It's ok though. We have it on good authority that Santa will be able to find us still.

So, what's going on? Yes, we are still getting a divorce. The marriage just doesn't work for us, but we're both very grateful that we are good friends and love our children. We'll continue to do as we have done for 17 years, whatever is best for the family. Being married isn't what's best for us. We are great friends but lousy marriage partners, to each other. Being good co-parents is. Treating each other with love and respect is. Making sure that our children have a strong, healthy relationship with both of their parents is.

So, we're moving, as a family. We'll work together to accomplish home environments that are healthy for the kids while still giving us each some much needed space.

Finding the answers that work for us has been a huge growth experience. I've discovered so much more about who I am and what I want out of life. I've found a strength and peace that I've never known. Who knew that the worst thing to ever happen to me would turn out to be the best also.

  3. Hells Bells is right!! I was just looking at my list of blogs and noticed yours wasn't at the bottom any more!! And I thought...hmmm, she must have gotten rid of it.........then I noticed it had moved up the list....like a MONTH ago...don't know how I missed that!

    And I'm happy that you are happy...I hope you all have lots of fun in Reno. And I still miss you a lot.

  4. I miss you tons and tons Stacey. You're still very special to me. I miss living down the street from each other and hanging out together, much more than you'll ever realize.
