Its been entirely too long since my last blog post and our lives have changed since then exponentially. Our day to day life is completely different and is about to get even more different than we would have ever thought.
Justin and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary, Thanksgiving and Christmas 2011 were smooth and the boys enjoyed the holidays. But, by June 1st, we were headed out into divorce land. I was seriously sick and hospitalized for more than two weeks and by what transpired during those few weeks I fought for my life, fought for my children and my marriage. By poor decisions made by my Ex husband in the hospital he had Matt and Jack removed from our home and were going into foster care. I had no control from my hospital bed as to what would and could happen. It was a horrible experience not having any way to fix what needed to be from a hospital bed hooked up to all kinds of things. They released me after two weeks stay, still sick and very weak. I was given an ultimatum from CPS about the children. As long as Justin was in the house, my children were not to be allowed in my home, period. One of the hardest things I have ever had to do was kiss my husband goodbye that next morning and walk out of the house, our life and never look back. Ever. I spent three days holed up in a hotel room in Eugene hiding, waiting for the restraining order to take effect. I filed for a restraining order the day after I was released and divorce a few weeks later and by October 2012 It was granted in my favor and it is all over.
Do I miss it sometimes? You bet. It wasn't all bad. There are many happy memories I have from that part of my life that I hope helps shapes what I am now. A stronger, more independent woman.
The last seven months I owe to my best friend Jessica Pitts and her husband for letting me stay in an extra room at their house. Without their help I don't know what I could have done. And now after all the chaos my chapter here is almost to a close. Five more days and the love of my life( yes, I found him! ) will be here and Jack, Matt and I will be returning to Ketchikan, Alaska to live with him as should any true Alaskan would.
I will miss my friends and family, but I am ecstatic about our life adventures to come. A new start in a familiar place is exactly what the boys and I need.. And hopefully I can get to blogging, I love being able to read old posts...
