Changing...

Well as you all have read or heard, I've had a lot of changes in my life recently. I have had so many emotions running through me over the past few months and it has been pretty overwhelming, but with the help of great family and friends I can honestly say I am very happy with my life right now. I didn't really think that this would be the outcome, or that if it was I'd be so accepting of it, but I really feel like Trent and I are doing the right thing for us and our kids. We are getting along better than we have in forever, and he's much more involved with the kids now than he ever was before. I know that I'm going to be okay and the fact that Trent and I can be friends is such a comfort to me because we have an eternity linking us together with our 3 awesome kids! I'll try to post more often now that I'm all settled and back in the swing of things, and seriously thanks to everyone for your love and support through the last little while. I love you all! :)

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

Baptism Pics!

Here are just a few pics of Libbie in her Baptism dress...

Libbie's Special Day!

Well today was Libbie Sue's special day! My little girl got baptized! It was such a great day for her and it turned out really nice and a big thanks to everyone who helped and came to show your support and love. She was baptized and confirmed by Trent and it was so neat to watch him be able to share that with our first little girl. I know it sounds really cliche' but I swear it seams so recent that we were this scared little young couple in Georgia welcoming her into our lives and now she's getting so big and grown up on us. We love you so much Libbie Sue or as we call her "Beaner" and we're so proud of you for getting yourself ready and being so excited to be a member of the church. All she wanted this year for her birthday was her own set of scriptures with her name on them. What a big girl thing to ask for and what a sweet little spirit she has about her. I hope you'll always remember this day and how many people love you and want you to be happy in your life. We love you with every bit of our hearts and souls and we're so thankful that you came into our lives. Love, forever, Mom & Dad xoxo.

Blah, Blah, Blog!

Okay, it has been such a very long, busy time since I updated this blog last so here goes a novel, with pics to come soon!
First of all, HaPpY bIrThDaY CORBIN! Yep, our little man dude turned 6 on April 18th! He is so awesome and such a blast to have as our son! He so makes life more interesting and logical!! He is very set in his ways and everything he does has to make sense but not to normal people, just in his little 6 yr-old brain! We love you Buddo-Rooskie!
Easter was also a blast! We had my favorite, a marathon of family egg hunts and parties for the weekend with mixtures of good and bad weather. I love that my girls love their not-so-frilly Easter dresses since mommy doesn't do frills, & I love that Corbin loves to dress like a little GQ & doesn't mind as long as he can change when he's done! So anyways, Happy (late) Easter everyone!
And last, but certainly not least, Trent and I celebrated our 10th (yes 10th) anniversary on May 1st! How did we spend it you ask??? He was in Atlanta & I spent the weekend with the kids at my mom & dad's house! Oh ya, we sooooo know how to live it up! We did go to Park City the weekend before so a big thanks to G-ma & G-pa Miles for keeping the kids for us for the weekend! It's kind of funny how you build something like a 10th anniversary up in your head thinking you should do some huge thing, but I think if there's anything that the last 10 years and the last year especially have taught us it's that the real big deal is that we've lasted 10 years and we've definitely had our ups and downs, but the fact that we're still together & have 3 awesome kids to show for it is way better than anything else I could ask for. So to sum it all up now that I'm rambling on, Happy 10th anniversary Honey! I love you so much & can't wait for the next 10 & the 10 after that clear through eternity!
I will post some cool pics from this spring when I get a minute to catch my breath, so be patient!! :)
