2011 BIG Change

So 2011 has brought a divorce into my life. I separated from my husband on January 1st and filed for divorce on January 24th. He has just moved out of the house while I was in DC last week and has a new place in Denver. Divorce in Colorado takes 90 days assuming you don't have to go to court.

We don't have kids and dogs are (unfortunately) still considered a possession in CO. We are trying to do this as amicably as possible but there are still scuffles over dogs, china, orchids, the important stuff. I am keeping the house and have spent this weekend trying to reclaim it for myself.

This is probably the hardest thing I have ever done in my life and I would not recommend it unless it's the last result. We still have to divide the finances which will likely be the hardest part then we have to wait for the courts to approve everything.

While this is the hardest thing I've ever done I am still putting one foot in front of the other, trying to laugh as much as possible and keeping as positive perspective as I can. I will keep you all posted on how things are going!
