I have never looked forward to a new year more than now. 2011 is a new start, a new beginning, a whole new chapter for me. And I couldn't be happier and more excited about all of the changes and possibilities. Am I nervous? Scared? YEP!! Am I unsure of what's to come and what to expect? YEP!! But am I looking forward to discovering new things, learning more about myself, enjoying time with my children, and being happy? YOU BET!!
Let's give everyone a quick history review. Some of you are here wondering what in the world all of this means. I am currently separated from my husband of 10 years and will be divorced soon. Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm happy! I was in a marriage I was not happy in. I was not being my true self. He wasn't happy either. I was very good at pretending things were fine and making it look like we were the perfect little Utah County family. Well, that was not the case. And, I soon came to realize that this was not a healthy relationship for any of us.
I am ready to move forward.
So, here it is. This beautiful mess. My divorce. Life as a single mom with three kids. Entering into the dating world again. (Yikes!!) Starting a new full time job. And all of the other experiences that come along with it. And no more pretending.
