Holy Long Time Since My Last Post!!

Wow... So I've definitely been neglecting my little blog for a while now so it seems like a good time to catch up!  Where to begin on all of the happenings of the last 6 months??? Well for one, football season is over! lol.. Let's just start where things left off then shall we? :)

School started in September. Libbie is in 4th grade, Corbin is in 2nd grade & Brooklyn started pre-school & they're all LOVING it!  Libbie & Corbin are getting straight A's (or 4's) & Corbin continues to amaze me with his rain-man math skills.. Brooklyn is reading & writing & learning Spanish & sign language. I'm always so fascinated with her new signs she has for me!

Next, the big "D" was final on October 1st.  Very weird.. we met on Jan 1st, were married on May 1st & divorce was final on Oct 1st... I think for my next go around I'll stick to a random date in the middle of the month. lol... October also brought my new little nephew Nixon Bric Jensen!! Or as I like to call him, Dimps! Cutest damn dimples ever & he's totally got bright blue eyes so now Libbie isn't the only one in the fam without brown eyes.. (sorry beans, you were cool for like 9 years... it had to end sometime!)

November brought the dumbest holiday of the year (Thanksgiving), followed immediately by the most amazing day of the year (my birthday)!! I turned 31 & am now not just 30, but IN my 30's... ouch. lol  I decided to commemorate such a day with a tattoo... (pics to come).  I also hit a dead... yes dead... deer on my way home from procuring said tattoo.  How much more embarrassing can hitting a dead deer get?? It's like hitting a parked car! The cobalt survived & is doing fine.. thanks for your concern..

December is, of course, was like the busiest month EVER!  Christmas with the kiddos was owasome!!  Brooklyn turned 4 & Brandon & Emily got to come visit over the holidays.

Well at least I got caught up to 2011... There's plenty more to come so STAY TUNED people!!  Peace out hommies!

Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL??????

Aaaahhhh! It's that time of year again! When school is getting ready to start, the leaves will soon start to change color, & sweaty men get all geared up to pound the hell out of eachother!!! FOOTBALL SEASON BABY!!! I'm gearing up for an exciting season of NFL action & watching my fav team The COLTS!!! As a much added bonus, my little stud Corbin is playing this season! He is working his little butt off (literally! His pants are actually bigger on him now than they were 2 weeks ago!) He's having such a great time learning to play the best damn sport EVER! & I couldn't be more proud of the hard work he's putting into practicing. Lots of pics to come, but for now GOOOOO GRIZZLIES!!!! (& of course, GOOOO COLTS!!!) :)

Way too long since my last update...

So, ya... Pretty much I'm a major slacker when it comes to updating the 'ol blog these days. It's not for lack of things to blog about, it's merely finding the time and energy to put thoughts into words.  Since my last post things have gotten crazy busy around here: The kids started school, I got a job & Brooklyn started daycare.. (I'm not so much excited about that one, but what r ya gonna do, right??) Halloween was really fun with the kids; Libbie was a witch, Corbin was iron-man & Brooklyn was a pumpkin.  I will try and get my lazy butt to post some pics very soon before my kids are fully grown!
All in all, things are okay most of the time, but I'm kind of entering yet another new chapter in my life entitled, "I want my damn life back!" I try and keep focused on other things, of which there are plenty to focus on, but at the end of the day I just keep thinking I'll somehow wake up and this nightmare will be over and I'll have my life and family back.. Not so much back the way it was, just back and trying to make things better. I'm not naive enough to think that's a reality, it's just my crazy-ass head playing tricks on me, but still, with my b-day and the holidays coming up fast, it'd be nice to have something to look forward to. (not that I don't appreciate and totally look forward to spending the holidays with my awesome kids and my family, but you know what I mean.)
Well, I'll post more soon and I'll try to keep the next one on a positive note!!! It's kind of like not going to the grocery store hungry... you shouldn't try to blog or talk to people when you're having one of 'those' days I guess. ;)

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
