It's Moving Time

This past Tuesday, I signed a lease for a new residence for the girls and myself.  We will be moving in a few weeks.  When I was at the leasing office last Saturday and the leasing agent  asked me if I was ready to fill out the rental application, I just broke down in tears.  I didn't know where it came from because I hadn't felt like I needed to cry but apparently I did.  I have been a home owner for almost 20 years and even at one time 2 homes during that time period.   The marriage, the move, it all just came to a head.  I felt so much better after letting it all out.  My aunt was with me and she said to me, "How much water can you pour in a bucket before it starts to over flow? " Perfect analogy !

I have grown and am continuing to grow during this transition in my life.  This is the first time ever that I will have a place of my own.  The lease only has my name on it.  Yes, it is great to have the assistance of a husband but I did this on my own.  I was approved based on my credit alone!  Twenty years ago, I got married and left my mother's house and moved in with the man I thought I would be with for the rest of my life.  I never had the experience of living on my own.  I am excited to be able to experience this with my children and they are excited as well.  

When the time is right, I will be married again and purchase another home. Until that time comes, I will continue to be the best woman and mother I can be, make improvements (spiritually,physically,and mentally),stay positive and MOVE FORWARD!
