So today I got an email from my attorney saying that she worked my divorce out so I didn't have to go to court. So as for Friday, November 19,2010, I am a divorced woman! I am so glad I don't have to go to court. Just the thought of having to explain my situation to one more person just makes me want to run and hide! But thanks to my smart attorney I didn't have to! The judge signed my decree and it is a done deal!
From the day that I started this process I wondered how I would feel when it was a done deal. I always thought there would be some sort of physical feeling and mentally I would be depressed. When I read the email from my attorney I do have to admit that I did cry. I think it was the knowledge that I am done. My slate is clean and I don't have to worry about Rudy any more. Also, I have spent the better part of six years thinking that I had a partner and now I don't. It's kind of scary. But once I had my little cry (and I mean it was a few tears and that is it!) I lifted my chin up and I am ready to move on! Mentally, I am so ready for this.
To a new chapter in my life!

So much to be thankful for...
As I sit here and ponder on this season I realize how blessed I am. Even though this has been the most challenging year ever, I can't help but reflect on how blessed my life has been! I'd like to list a few of the things I am thankful for...
- My sweet precious Abigail. She has been what has kept me going this year. She never ceases to amaze me! Heavenly Father has truly blessed me with one of his special angels.
- My Family. Please, don't be jealous, but I have the best family! My mom has been one of my biggest cheerleaders this year. Every time I got down on myself she has been there to remind me to pick myself back up and get going. They have also given me a place to live while every things gets sorted out. Without them, I don't know where I'd be today. Also my two wonderfully amazing sisters! Even though they both have had their share of challenges they are never to busy to take time for me! Also, my brother-in-law! He has been a wonderful blessing. Whenever I need a babysitter or car mechanic he has graciously offered his services without a thought of being paid.
- My Friends. (Please don't feel bad if I don't mention you!) Melissa, you have been such a rock for me! I'm not sure you know what your friendship means to me. Just knowing that I have someone at church that cares about me, helps keep me active! You and your family have been such an inspiration to me. Jenn D., you my friend are an amazing person! Thank you for spending hours listening to me and never once judging me. Thank you for reminding me to keep my chin up! Claudia, thank you so much for always thinking of me and your words of encouragement.
- My job. I am grateful for a fantastic group of coworkers and bosses. Many people right now are out of work and I have a fantastic job with the most understanding co-workers and boss!
As I write this I can't help but feel how blessed I am. My life has been full of challenges but with each of these blessings it has made my life so much easier.
Thank you all for what you mean in my life! You are what makes me... me!
