All-Nighter
No sleep for me tonight so why not get back to blogging. Weird how you read your own past posts and your like "Whoa"! Did I do that? Did I say that? Wow look how time has flown...it's been a year already? Kinda cool to look back and see how much changes in a year.
More changes just recently! Moved to Wilmington, NC May 5, 2013. Ready for unlimited sunshine, southern hospitality, a gazillion places to eat...the beach of course and just whatever else comes my way.
As for my kiddos, girls are growing and Corbin is already a senior in high school graduating June this year! Crazy! Feels like it was just yesterday when I was dressing him up in a million different outfits taking pics of his handsome little self. He's all grown and independant with a capital "I". 3 girls 13,12, and 8 and they couldn't be more different! It's blows my mind how different they are! Nature versus nurture? No it's both definitely!
As for moi` I am still figuring out my path in life. I'm always trying my damndest to do the right thing. I love my life now....but there is def still one major thing hanging in my closet that no matter how much I try to push it away, pray it away, shove it as far back as I can....It will always be there. I'm just building up to the day when I have the guts to finish that last chapter of "change" to complete my life. Until then...I am still playing martyr and trying to just fit in to society's social roles for the sake of my babies.
I'll keep this one short but can't wait to get back soon and record our lives. ~

Time Flys!
Been a while! Yes life changes dramatically! I had an English teacher in High school that said the one thing you can count on in life is change. He was right!
My husband and I after 13 years have separated for two years and after counseling, trying all that I could do, our marriage is over. It is not the end, it is just a new beginning for both of us in happy lives that happen to not include being married to each other anymore. We are still a family unit and stand strong together for our children, but once again, life has changed. After 30 years of constantly struggling with my own self, I have finally come to live the life with the perrson I was meant to live with in the beginning. I am no longer unhappy, and my children are happy, loved and are able to understand that love comes in many different shapes and sizes and colors. Our family is more functional and loving then it has been in years.
Corbin is now turning 17 next week and is truly a remarkable young man. One so unique and different from your typical teenager, and so insightful, loving, respectful and quite bright. I am so proud of the man he has become. So many in my family has missed out on the opportunity to get to know such a remarkable young gentleman. He has aspirations to be in the field of EMT and Firefighter because he so wants to help people. He will spending the summer in Ohio with Papa enjoying all that he has missed tremendously.
Samantha is now 12 years old and in middle school. Her passion is singing and dancing! She was involved in show choir this year and made it to States! She also played 3 stages of tennis this summer and completed her first one mile race! She continues to love to read, has just finsihed the Chosen series, and is looking for a new series to begin. Sammie writes her own lyrics and poetry, and likes to draw and write stories. Funny how they suprise you, the one who used to refuse to do her homework is now been a straight A student all year and accepted into the National Honor Society and Who's Who amongst students in the U.S.
Katie will be 11 in 4 weeks. She is 5 foot 8 and is incredibly stunning and shaped like a supermodel. She took second in a modeling contest for her age group this year. She has designed over 12 different dresses for her barbies made from materials from rubber, to yarn to safety pins. Her imagination is so incredible and her sense of humor is unique and amazing! She can sing like Christina Perry and dance like a ballet dancer on stage. She can design clothes and draw pictures like an illustrator for books. She has a huge loving heart, and is so kind and grateful. SHe is thoughtful and articulate, smart and amazing! I am so blessed!
Carly is 7 years old now and is in first grade. She loves attention and would stand on a stage 24/7 if she could. She loves to dance, sing, and do flips, cartwheels and splits! She is confident, funny and loves to read to people. She has an extremely grateful spirit, is thankful, and is one of the most helpful little kids I have ever met. She is a tropper, strong, and stubborn. She stands up for what she believes in and is the very best of friends with Corbin.
My children are amazing and I have been so blessed to be able to be home and raise my children. It's no secret we have been through a lot. But they are the reason I fought to stay alive and have fought to be the best person I can be. I have finally reached true happines and joy after years of living in the past and concentrating on my failures and trying to be perfect. I live in the present and enjoy each moment that is directly in front of me. I thank God for the opportunity to live againa and I am so happy I was able to take that opportunity and change my life and my families life and teach my children the things I was able to learn.
