Picking up the pieces, slowly.

What I learned from the month leading up to my divorce until now.

One year wedding anniversary, what?

So I wanted to write this blog the day that it happened, but I needed a bit to attempt to get over it. I am not sure if I am overreacting, but my heart is just completely broken. Our one year wedding anniversary was on Friday the 20th of March. I could not for the life of me figure out what my husband wanted, but a few months ago he mentioned something about wanting a new wedding band because the one he had was kind of heavy on his fingers. So about four months ago I went out looking for a new wedding band and found the perfect one. So I bought it along with a really romantic card and had kept it hid until that Friday. Well Friday comes around and I spent all day cleaning the house so he could come straight home and we could celebrate without any other worries that weekend. He calls me on the way home from work to tell me he is going to the gym. I thought maybe he was just saying that to bring a surprise home for me.. turns out he forgot all about our ONE year anniversary.

Money Saving Tips

Something passed on to me to pass along to you.

Rolling with the economy

Anyone else out there feeling like their love life is rolling with the flow of the economy? I remember years ago when the economy seemed more stable, people were going out spending money, living care free. Now, all we do is sit at home and not by choice. I can't find a job and I have a bach. degree!!! Instead of focusing on each other, having meaningful conversations, all we do is stress about money money money. We make enough money to get our bills paid on time every month and with that said I consider us lucky and very fortunate as there are others much worse than us. However, there is very little left at the end of the month which means constantly staying in on top of each other, we can't catch a break. Anyone else going through this?!Amber
