It's Been A While....

I haven't written in quite some time which is obvious. I have been compelled to start this up again due to recent changes that are taking effect into my life. I also have received some inspiration from my friend's blogs, check them out:

Things in my life have changed immensely. I am in the process of getting a divorce from my husband of five years. We began dating when I was 19 and to make a very long story short, I have just changed very much since then, as well as the age of 24 when we got married. I am saddened by the entire event because he is a wonderful man who will do anything for me. I hate knowing I am hurting a person so much! But I know in the end I am making the right decision for both of us. I told him that once he meets someone who adores him the way he deserves, he will realize it to.

So for now, I am losing my husband as well as my doggy, Eli

and my beautiful house that I love

I try to look at the good things in life though. I am lucky to have supportive parents who love me and are letting me live with them, rent free (I try to remind myself of this when I start to ruminate on the fact that I am almost 30 years old, living with my parents), I am healthy, I love my job and I have amazing friends. It is difficult to be optimistic when things are tough (especially the finances). But I am learning each and everyday what a strong person I am!
