Sometimes life catches you off guard and the next thing you know...BAM! Right in the face...
It's not a bad thing sometimes. At least not for me. My 'wow' moment came when I realized life is too short to work 2 jobs and miss out on my son and daughter's life. I'm not sure at what point that I realized that after being married for so long, I needed to venture out on my own. By venture out, I mean...move 3 miles away, still invite the husband and kids for dinner, have my son most of the week...etc.
Maybe it's a midlife crisis. Nah. I moved and my husband knew I was going to do it. He has been very supportive and considering the time I divorced from my first husband, this is unreal. Since I stopped working two jobs, we spend more time together than ever. I moved a whole 3 miles away and guess what?
He just got an apartment in my same complex! It is truly amazing what some maturity and actual love can do for a couple. We are both so supportive and help each other. I'm actually glad he moved here.
I told him we could date but he'd have to ask my dad. Can't having some man living in my house! Everyone thinks we'll move in together but I think this 'time a part' as in seeing each other everyday...living next door to each other...may just bring us closer.
It's been a wild ride but a fantastic one and no matter what happens, we are a team, a family and the rulers of our world.
Okay, rulers of our world may be a little dramatic.
We all know the kids rule our world.
Until next time...
