A light at the end of the tunnel..

“He has surrendered to my terms” is what the email said from my lawyer yesterday! Oh happy day!!! It only took a little over 15 months and a lot $$$$ to get to this point. So the papers will be drawn up and we await the signatures. Soon, this house will be mine and I […]

Back into dating

On the dating front, I met someone this week. He is really different then the handful of guys I have met so far. As scared as I was about the dating scene, I must say, it has gotten easier and I feel more comfortable going out on dates. You just have to relax and have […]

Constant reminders

Being in the wedding industry doesn’t help me get over my marriage ending. Every day, I talk with brides and help them plan their wedding and every day, I think about my situation. It’s their happy time and my sad time. I watched a really great documentary on HBO called 112 weddings. I would highly […]

Happy July 4th?

No plans for this holiday weekend???….well join the club. It came up on me fast and I put a couple feelers out but no bites, everyone else is busy it seems. Oh well, I will make the best of it. I can get some stuff done around the house, relax, enjoy time with the dogs. […]

Mixed feelings

Today I am going to a wedding by myself, for the first time ever. My first thought is of sadness, since I am going through a divorce. My second thought is of loneliness since I’m going to it alone. I wonder how I’ll make it through the day emotionally. My third thought is of course […]

What a difference a year makes

I can’t believe that it’s been a year. Remember when you were young and a year took for ever? As you waited for your birthday, summer break, Halloween, Christmas, you know, the biggest things in a kids life.. As an adult, a year seems to go by so quickly. This past Sunday marks 1 year […]

Couple of updates..

When my nephew passed 3 weeks ago, I really struggled with the decision to let my soon-to-be-ex know the tragic news. He and my nephew had a pretty close relationship. My ex and I have not spoken since he left me last May, except through lawyers. I have no way to reach him so I […]

Another senseless tragedy

I have experienced a lot of loss and sadness in my life and this past weekend, my family was hit again. One of my nephews, only 20 years old, died due to a car accident 2 days ago. Such a tragedy. He had an argument with his girlfriend and got in his car to come […]

Pets and divorce

Still going through the divorce process, 10 months now, and my lawyer called me today. He recently received a letter from “the other side” that claims that “he” now wants the dogs. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? After everything you did to me and now you want to take the dogs??? He is claiming that they […]
