Hey M....for the most part doing well all things considered. Paying a little more for the house then what I would like but staying far outweighed the alternatives. The W is paying for the 1/2 the closing costs so at minimum I will stay a few more years, build up some additional equity and look to sell if I am struggling financially. It does provide continued stability for the girls which is good and I don't feel sad in the place which is cool.
My W was never happy homemaker. I say this in a non judging manner but she was not the type to have a home cooked meal on the table every night, wasn't big on the holidays or birthdays and really valued/wanted her time alone to herself whether it was out with friends or going to a room where the kids were not located to get some quiet time. So truthfully the memories of her and living this magical life in the house are very minimal.
All in all though things are getting easier, should close on the house in the next week or so and then it is just the count down until 4/11 and we go before the judge. While it is very surreal (I still will never understand why this happened) I am very much looking forward to the next chapter in my life and having the house for me and the girls all to ourselves.
I am still hitting the gym 6 days a week, playing basketball 3 days a week, going to church, meeting buddies out here and there for some drinks after work, hanging out with friends and soccer season starts tonight so I am looking forward to watching the girls play. I went out and bought a video camera at lunch so I can record their games, edit them and post them on the team site. That should help keep me occupied as well
