I intend to live forever - so far, so good

[ClingingToHope]

Forgot to say I started my fourth divorce rebuilding class at church last night. I don't listen much to the one hour presentation anymore. I just like the one hour discussions after.

My table this time includes a guy I played baseball with in college. He worked with me and made me a much, much better hitter.

He was married 11 years. The last couple he was trying to get a personal training business off the ground so there was stress and he's not very talkative anyway. One day he came home and she said she didn't want to be married anymore and moved out with their two daughters. She moved in with her mom an hour away.

Another guy has been separated but not divorced since 2004. He dated someone for five years and that broke up last week -- in part over unresolved issues with the still unfinished marriage. So he signed up for the class and filed the paperwork for the divorce Tuesday morning.

His story peaked my interest.

This morning I decided to email my attorney. If we don't receive a full proposal by March 1 then I want to present a full proposal by the March 15 status hearing. I'd like to finish it after our anniversary -- April 27 -- but before July.

The anniversary is a small thing with me. My parents were married 14 years before divorcing. April 27 will be our 15th. At least we lasted longer even if the last two years don't really count.
