Can't. Stop. Laughing!

Rock on!

Sometimes I have the best times.  With the best friends.  And I need to stop and just appreciate this life that I am living because at the end of the day, life is DAMN good right now.

Sometimes God's creation just stops me dead in my tracks.

Weekend update

The best part of my weekend?  Learning how to start the gas grill without blowing up the house.  

Life is good. 

Reflections

A year ago today I spent an entire work day fighting back tears, trying desperately not to break down and cry in front of my (still very new) boss, all the while knowing I had a daunting task awaiting me when I flew home that evening.  

A year ago today I asked my husband to choose: me or alcohol.  

The weeks and months that followed were some of the worst of my life, but I knew without a doubt I was making the right decision for myself and my happiness.  I still love my husband very much, but we are in the final months of a separation that will ultimately end in divorce. 

I think back on how we got to this place. It's ugly. It's sad. But in the end, it's the right thing to do. I am hopeful for what is yet to come. I am thankful for the strength I found during this journey.  And I am happy, above all. A lot can happen in a year. 

Before / After

Goodbye Lion King, hello Slick!

Amazing how different it looks before and after a hair cut.  She cut off 5" and I feel so naked! 

Hooray!

The wine fairy visited!

Dear Daddy

I am shopping for a lawn mower.  Mine is rusting out and it's blowing grass on me every time I use it.  I went to the store today and was so overwhelmed, looking at all the options and brands and choices. I wish I could have picked up the phone and asked your advice on what to get and what I needed.  It's times like these I really truly sense the loss of not having you in my life anymore. I miss you so much and all of the fatherly things you used to help me with.  I know you taught me to be independent and do things for myself, but sometimes a girl really just needs her daddy.  

Loving you always,

C
