I'm continuing to try to handle things as stoically as possible. My family is now fully aware that this is becoming final and I think they're secretly popping champaign bottles behind my back (which honestly I wouldn't blame them for). But they've been very nice. My dad was very reassuring to me that I shouldn't worry about attorney fees, and if they became a problem he could help out. Hopefully it won't be that complicated and I should be able to handle the expense no problem.

I got a recommendation from my uncle who is an attorney for a good divorce lawyer, made an appointment for next week and things are moving along. Even spent a little time looking over insurance plans the other day. So it's all getting a lot less scary.

Also daydreaming about taking my road trip this summer. I hope to hit up a good chunk of the 50 states I've never been to. Anybody know of any fun places I should consider visiting in KY, TN, GA, AL, MS, LA, AK, MO? My vague plan is to make a little ring around those states. I have very good friends just outside Nashville and a cousin who works for Disney in Orlando.
