All Settled :)

Well we're in & settled! It's been a bit of an adjustment and I'm currently trying to stave off boredom while my kids are spending their first weekend with Trent. I have literally never slept alone in my entire life until last night, which was an interesting experience. Not that I think my kids could protect me, but to have absolutely NO noise in my house and on a holiday was very strange. Every day brings something new to think about and some things are harder than others to handle, but all in all, I think I'm going to be okay. I have a mirror & 2 scrolls left to hang before I'm officially done, then I'll take some pics & post them up to see. :) I'll quit rambling now...

Status Update....

Well, things are definitely moving forward whether I'm ready for them to or not. I'm moving into my "new" place this weekend. I know I sound like such a brat and I'm really not trying to be, but I've never lived in a place with a # before. (like an apt.) It'll be something new to have neighbors like right there on either side of me but maybe it'll be good. I know one thing for sure, things can only go up from here. Some days are better than others and the last couple have been particularly hard because we had to sit down with our kids and talk to them about what's going on. Thank goodness Brooklyn doesn't really understand. Libbie and Corbin are troopers and such great kids and I have every faith that they'll be fine and that we'll all pull together to make sure of it, but just seeing your kids sad and knowing that you caused it really stops you in your tracks a bit. I also just want to say how extremely grateful I am to have such wonderful friends. Everyone has been so supportive even though I've been so out of touch the last few years. If that's the positive thing I get from this experience then that's good enough for me. I'm so glad to have reconnected with old friends and that I've come to understand that it's okay to need people sometimes. I am so rambling on, but I get teary-eyed every time I think about this stuff so thanks for bearing with me. I'll keep y'all posted and thanks again for all your love, & support. :)

Becky's New Beginning

Hi everyone. Well the title really does sum it up for the most part i guess. There is no good, easy or tactful way to tell friends this sort of news so I'll just go on with it. Trent and I are separating. There are a lot of situations that could put blame on either one of us and drive wedges and create tension, but the bottom line is that we've had a really rough go at it from day one. He's not happy, I'm not happy, and in turn our whole family isn't where it needs to be. We're going to try this and see if we can each work on some things but it is just getting to that place where enough people know some of the story so I thought I'd post something up and any individual questions you have please feel free to ask. I just physically cannot try to tell everyone individually. This is probably the hardest thing I ever thought I'd have to deal with, but Trent is committed to taking care of me and the kids which is great and he loves his kids so much and will be around them as much as he possibly can. Well that's all the information I have for now. I'll Keep you all posted as i know more.
Thanks, & Love you all,
Becky
