Signed, Sealed, Delivered

87 days, $2,000+, multiple therapy sessions, and it's over. 5 1/2 years of promises to keep us together and it's over. Vows were never meant to be broken, but when they are, then what? What if you try your best to fix it, to try and make it better, to try and put it all behind you? Sometimes love is just not enough. Happiness is worth more to your life than just grinning and bearing it for the rest of your life. Trust is the foundation of marriage. Without trust, your foundation is weak, and could crumble at any moment.

I've thought about this day many times before. What it would feel like, would I really go through something like this that is so finite. There's no going back, there's no "undo" button, there's no do-overs. It's literally GAME OVER. Does this mean I get my lives back? Or is it a, "Do not pass go, Do not collect $200 dollars?" By the way, these are fantastic game analogies :)

But as one door is closed, locked and chained another door will open, I just need to find the right door this time. Door number 3 Bob....Tell her what's she's won! If only life were that simple.

Today is a sad day, but there is light and it feels a little less darker than other days. It was for the best interest for our futures and for our daughter. Happiness is truly the emotion that will get you through the day. Happiness helps you find your drive to get through each day and to not give up. Happiness is infectious and can be passed along as you meet people throughout the day.

It feels like there are so many unhappy people out there who just won't be truthful with themselves about how they feel. It's a status quo but they aren't happy where they are, what they are doing or who they are with. It's so much easier said than done, but finding true happiness can happen without having to leave the love of your life.

Each of us has been placed on this earth for a purpose and not just to increase their carbon footprint. There is a purpose, and there is meaning in every life. It may not be perfect all the time, but finding the happiness you deserve is truly just that. You deserve it.

Infertility

So once again I attempt to start my blog on weight loss. However, I've entered a new chapter in my life. Babies. Well not quite yet, but we'll get there. Here's some history..... I was diagnosed with endometriosis in March of 2010, only 3 months after getting married. I had a laparoscopy and had 5-6 different areas. I continued treatment with birth control overlapping each month and when that didn't seem to help the symptoms I started on Lupron. For those of you that are familiar with this product you can attest to its wonderfulness as well as its downfalls. The Lupron put my body into menopause at the age of 24 :) Fun Fun fun!!!! On the first round of shots I did not have a hormone replacement pill which I wish I would have. I had shots every month for 3 months then took a break. In June I had a 3 month dose of Lupron again. The pain continued and I had a second laparoscopy with a tubular dye study in September, and here we are. Our game plan...... My OB/GYN wants to t

Flashback Friday (to two weeks ago...)End of Semester.....I made it

Every year at the start of the semester I say that I'm going to be better about blogging and updating. Well, once again, I've failed to post anything since September. Things tend to get a little crazy 4 weeks after the start of the semester and then I look back and think, "Where did the time go?" As always, I'll give you a recap of how the semester went down.... This post has been a long time coming. Again, I spent countless hours on the road four days a week. It was becoming exhausting, and routine. I was getting burnt out. But the thing about this semester is that there was light at the end of it. I was going to be free from driving 200 miles a day, and be in my student teaching placement, hopefully somewhat close to home. The amount of stress that I endured this semester was more than I thought I would have to manage. Between practicums, night classes, working at the winery, the single mom thing, and then a relationship on top of it all, I'm not sure ho

Does Size Matter?

I have always struggled with accepting my body size and shape. I have never been Barbie thin. My entire life I have always been bigger than my friends, teammates, you name it. It has been an issue that I've struggled with for a really long time. Right after my divorce I was super thin and was working out and teaching group exercises 3 times a week...I loved the way my body looked but I still wasn't happy. While life and stress makes my weight fluctuate, I still am active and enjoy working out. I cannot wait for the gyms to open back up so I have a place to go and lift. I've been running, and even bought a new pair of running shoes. But this post isn't really about me, it's about the idea of what others see my body as. I have been open to dating recently and have been on a handful of dates...none that really amounted to anything. There was one, but it was a total friend zone kind of 6 weeks. Great person, just not the right fit. I had a date this weekend and i
