My first blog!

So this is my first time 'blogging'....should be interesting. As you can see by the name of my blog "New Beginnings", I am entering a new phase of my life. After almost 15 years of marriage Matt & I have decided to go our separate ways....it's very sad and aside from the death of my mother, the hardest thing I've had to go through....but we tried, we really did, we gave it our best and we decided that although we love each other and always will, we aren't meant to be married. There is no drama (thank god) and I couldn't ask for a healthier or more mature divorce, kind of sounds like an oxymoron but it's true. He's a wonderful person and I respect and love him very much and wish nothing but happiness for him....I know that we will always be friends and that makes things a little bit easier....just a little bit.

So, on Sunday May 6th I am hitting the road and moving back "home" to my hometown of Lockport, NY. Believe it or not, Matt is driving with me...this is how wonderful of a friend he is. I will be staying at my Grandpa Miller's house....it's empty as my Grandpa passed away this past November and my family has it up for sale and offered to let me stay there until I get on my feet, find a job and my own apartment. I'm taking very little with me, my personal stuff, knick-knacky things, etc, so it really will be a new beginning for me in almost every possible way. I'm kind of excited about that, scared but excited.

It's sad to leave though. I truly love living out here in Washington and I will miss it. I will miss my friends too. I have finally made TRUE friends and am sad to leave them but I know that we will stay in touch.

Tonight I went out to dinner with two wonderful friends, Kari & Kaelee....had a delicious dinner and wonderful conversation. It's kind of ironic that after all these years of living out here, I've finally made friends that I "click" with, feel part of the group, things like that and now I'm leaving. Sigh.

Well I am going to go read and then get some sleep. Goodnight!
