Chapter Books

I finished "Twilight". It was a good book, sure. I love when you finish a chapter and you're soooo excited to start the new one. But I was glad to finish it and completely excited to move on to the next book! There's nothing like moving on.

And so...as much as I was prepared to keep things to myself about this, I went on a date this weekend. In fact, my FIRST date with this guy was last week. And lemme just say, I had an AWESOME, amazing time.

Chris knows. Some of my siblings have met him. Some extended family knows. And some other friends know. So now, all the blogosphere knows too.

Dating is a crazy feeling. It's exciting and TERRIFYING at the same time. But dating after divorce takes on a whole new gamut of 'baggage'. Kids. Fears. Pain. Exes. So many things that you don't 'get' unless you've been there.

For example, check out Mindless's blog post here.

Soon I'll talk about this further. But I thought I'd bring out the next chapter of this blog-- a new chapter. Things with Chris will still be a huge focus of things in my life for a few years more, I know. But, as he stated, "I'm moving on". And part of that means leaving a few things behind. Not everything, but the pain- yes.

Just EF left to go. I've 'cleaned house' of things that remind me of Chris or EF or both. New sheets, new couches, new dayhome kids, new friends. I finally feel like, as hard as it is for me to let go of things sometimes, I'm putting part of the past year behind me. At least, as much as I can.

So, now I start book two.
