Catching up after months of lurking about. D will be final next wednesday 8/19. STBXH is leaving 9/2 for Afghanistan for 1 year as a civilan contractor for the company he works for. Our Lord God works in wonderful ways!!!

I have gone through MOST of the real divorce, you know the part where you really let go and wish them the best and can say anything to them because there is no fear anymore. Now the legal part will be done next week and while it is profoundly sad I am primarily relieved.

I am selling our home, get rid of most of my 'stuff' and I am going to move in with my parents for a year to become debt-free and save for a down payment on a home. I may buy a trailer and do some travel nursing...I love the thought of pullig in, popping out the awning, stringing my lantern lights, rolling out the fake green grass and putting up pink flamingos and calling it home for a while!

I'm healing folks and boy has it taken time. This board has helped so much over the past 4 years. I couldn't imagine being at the place I am today as a newcomer but I'm finally here!
