...only a few days late!

Want to know what I believe to be one of the greatest blessings God gives us?!  FRIENDS!  It was my birthday last week, and it was a good birthday, I turned 28 and I still don't feel old :-)  I also got to go out for my birthday!  Me and five of my amazing friends went out dancing downtown!  It was fantastic!  My sis in law knew the club owner so he had champange already on ice waiting when we walked in!  The whole night was amazing, surrounded by great friends, doing one of my favorite things ever.... DANCING! 

How many of you like to dance?  And I mean really dance... like with steps and rhythm?  I love to go out dancing!  Country dancing is my favorite, like two stepping, cowboy cha-cha, tripple step and swing, which is my favorite!  I took east coast swing dance lessons in high school with a group of friends, which is when I found my love for it.  And you pair a good dance with a good lookin man who can push me around the dance floor without stepping on my toes everytime (once or twice is okay) and doesn't have to count out loud..... **sigh**  It's wonderful.... 

But seriously, how many of you like to dance?  Have you ever taken lessons or had someone show you how?  It has to be one of the most freeing and confidence boosting things I've ever learned how to do!  I've always wanted to learn latin dance, like salsa and cha cha and such.  I could go on and on and on and on about how awesome it is, but it just isn't the same as experiencing it!  If you've never taken dance lessons DO IT!  At least once in your life, just do it! 

So the next year or so is going to be an interesting and great one!  Work is getting crazy, but in a good way.  I have started to facilitate a Re-Formation class.  This one will hold some unexpected surprises for me I am sure.  In some ways, I'm scared to death to find what I'll discover and in some ways, I cannot wait to see what this class holds for me.  If you don't know what Re-Formation is, I would highly suggest you check out the facebook page on it!  http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Re-Formation/103613409704251  I am hoping you will bear with me as I walk this amazing journey, as I intend to blog about some of my own personal experiences through this class.

Have an amazing week, and I'll blog at ya later! :-)

...heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once

I was incredibly conflicted in my emotions last night and again this morning.  I love my daughter, she is my baby girl, and sometimes she is really good at reminding me she is no longer a baby.  She is getting so big and is discovering her independence.  That is the heartwarming part, it warms my heart and makes me so happy to see her full of such self confidence and assurance!  Those are two attributes I felt I lacked in my childhood years, to no fault of my own parents, but simply because I felt I lacked them.  Anyway, back to what she did... I go, as I've done since she was a baby, to go and tuck my kiddos into bed.  I start up the stairs and say "I'm coming to tuck kiddos in who are in bed and ready!" and usually I hear giggles or feet  rushing to beds.  This particular night, instead I hear "NOOOOOO!!!!  Wait!!!  I don't want anyone to go in my room" Now at this point, as you fellow parents reading this may have already guessed,...

...a great feeling!

I can truly say, if someone would have told me four years ago, I'd be where I am today, I would have laughed, and then probably cried.  It has been just over four years since my divorce finalized.  It was an array of mixed emotions the day everything was said and done.  I was excited, anxious, furious, thrilled, scared, nervous but most of all, it was just an overwhelming feeling of relief.  Four years ago, I officially became the full time single mom of my beautiful daughter, who was nearly three at the time, and my amazing son, who was almost one.  I had always felt like a single mom, even in my marriage, but now it was "for real".  Granted, my daughter was 12 days old when my ex-husband deployed for a year... so some would say technically I was a single mom during that first year of her life.  He came home and we made it six months before I knew he needed help and I needed to leave.  I wasn't even 2 months pregnant with my son when ...
