I think I have avoided my blog this year because life has changed a lot for our family in 2012. I wasn't sure if the things going on were things I was ready to share with just anyone who wanted to look at my blog. I knew that the people in my life who needed to be there for us and who needed to know what was going on, did indeed know about everything and I felt I could leave it at that. In the interest of forward motion, and not avoiding posting all the cute happenings around here on my blog- I think it's about time we covered where life sits, be thankful, and move forward.
Most of you facebook stalkers have realized by this point, that Alan and I have gone our separate ways. We separated in July last year, and officially decided to file for a divorce in January. Things are still in the works, and we are so grateful for the support we've had from our loved ones. Things are pretty amicable, and we both know that this is the right path for all of our lives. Zade and I have been living in my parent's basement, and in the style only the two of us can pull off- we make it look good. Zade will be spending the summer with his dad in Alaska starting in the beginning of July, so I will appreciate any and all free hugs once he goes. I know he'll have a grand adventure, and I know his daddy is dying to spend some real time with him. It will be good for the two of them, and I'll have some time to get myself situated for when he comes back.
As for where things are on this beautiful, sunny day- they really couldn't be better. :)
Zade is just like me, if there's a puddle anywhere around, you best believe it's getting jumped in.
This was some memorial day fun at the park across from G.G.'s
Zade found a perfect chair to chill out in at a work-party my mother insisted we attend. Grandma loves showing off how cute I am. (Ok, maybe how cute Zade is.)
Getting ready to go for a run.
"Munch" (aka lunch) today in the backyard. Far too much sharing going on, but what are you going to do.
Dakota knows how to work the system.
And, yes. She gets to lick the plate clean :)
Happy summer beginnings, everyone. Here's to new beginnings, new adventures, and new experiences. I hope everyone has a fantastic day and gets out to enjoy the sunshine! Until next time!!
To moving forward -- May your life be like the summer breeze, always welcome. May you find happyness in times of sorrow. May our families grow closer as time heals the things done and said. And may you find someone who might bring that true smile to your face.
