Life doesnt always go the way you think it will.

The short version of the story is, this year i got a divorce. The Chad and i are trying to stay friends and i think that we are doing an ok job of it so far. its been harder sometimes than others along the last few months. you know what? shit happens in life. you do the best you can. you try to handle yourself well and stay positive even when youre barely staying afloat. some days you float. some days you sink. and some days you bob back up to the surface to gasp for air. the days you float get closer and closer together until you realize you are swimming along and not just drifting in the current. and thats pretty much all you need to know about that situation.

Dear everyone on FB, if someone goes through some life altering event and they dont plaster it all over the pages of their FB wall. it means that they have some common sense and couth NOT that it wasnt hard or emotional etc.

Dear everone on FB, if someone goes through some life altering event and doesnt tell you about it. its because its none of your god damn business. dont say "omg! what happened!?" if they wanted you to know they would have told you so butt out.

My close friends have been very supportive over the last few months and i appreciate them more than i can ever say. they had to suffer through some puffy, snotty, ugly crying. Absurd levels of drunkenness. Angry knitting that was perilous to anyone within arms length of my knitting needles. All while walking the fine line of steadfast supporter through every ridiculous emotional outburst to reality checkers and back again.

I have so many rocks i could build a mountain out of them. thanks guys for everything youve done for me and probably will do for me through the lifetime of our friendship. i hope that i can repay your emotional bank of love and laughs 1/10 of what youve done for me.
