May!

So for most of May Mariah and I were in Idaho. I felt like I really needed to get out of this teeny tiny apartment and be around some family, so that is what we did! Now we are back in Provo and back to school and I am  finally getting some hours in for work. ( I work from home.) June should be a fun, busy month. In a few days my sister A gets into town!!!! We are working out, eating healthy, go swimming & shopping, seeing movies and then in a few weeks we are taking a road trip to AZ!!!! We are so excited! We have also been planning a few other trips for the next few months which include NYC & San Diego! Tickets have been purchased. We cant wait and I love having sisters.... older and younger! I have also decided to redo my apartment. My new moto is "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" - Leonardo Da Vinci
When I was married it was really hard for Kev and I to decide on ANYTHING. Kevin does it all ladies... He loves to decorate, dance, and everything else :) And I always felt like I had to let it be his way... but no more. Its back to MY way and I do believe I have great style ;) So I am cleaning out my closet - Say goodbye to all those married sweats and tees (never to return again!), pre pregnant clothes, maternity clothes.. and hello to a long overdue NEW wardrobe.

I definitely feel like when you get divorced you go through different phases, like it was dragged out in the beginning, then the back and forth, then the moving out and trying to look forward, then you kind of fall back a little and go through and mourning phase, ya know the mornings where you wake up and the first thing you feel is just a feeling of unfamilurarity - which leaves you in kind of a panic. And you ask yourself that dumb question - "Why me?" ( I dont love it when people say why me... why anyone? ) Anyways I know why me... It's because I can handle it, probably because I need to learn something from it, and because I am blessed enough to see the good in it. ANNDDD then! You get to the point where your so sick of yourself and the lame - o you've been lately... It's like a light bulb totally pops on and you have a burst of energy and zest for life again.

I am sure in future posts I will refer to being married and being divorced - but despite the fact that Kevin and I are done in our marriage - We are still friends, we still see each others family with no hard feelings, and strive to have a happy & healthy relationship for the sake of Mariah and the love that we share for him. It hasn't been extremly long but its been a process and one that I feel like is finally passing through the grieving phase and coming into the time to kick some ass phase. ( As in do everything I always wanted to do before I was married,  buck up and get some things established for Mariah and myself such as religious, financial, educational type stuff.) So I feel like re-doing my whole life right now. So excuse me while I get a bit SUPERWOMAN-ish.
