Closing a chapter - with some guarantees
As I close the chapter on my home and also closing the final chapter on what was my marriage (this was our home together before I said NO MORE!)....I realize I am sad to an extent but also incredibly excited-so incredibly excited. Through recovery and with my faith I understand there are no guarantees in life-we create our own lives and happiness. However, there are some guarantees with this new house that I think are important to share. So here goes....
In my new house I can guarantee:
Nobody will be drunk
Nobody will be cussing me or the girls
There won't be any objects being thrown in the house
Nobody will be screaming at me telling me I should be more like his mom and sister.
There will be no lying or walking on eggshells
Denial has no place in my home
There will be peace
There will be joy
There will be life and love. So much love.
I cannot wait. So many of y'all have made this day possible-I wouldn't be here without y'all. I never imagined this is where my life would be but I wouldn't change a thing that got me here. Time to spread my wings and fly.

Congrats!!!!!! 
This post is so amazing and will provide so much hope for everyone trying to get to that point. You are an amazing role model for your girls, you are strong, you are intelligent, you are independent, you can set boundaries, you are capable of detachment...and most of all you are showing your girls that a woman doesn't need to stay in an unhealthy situation, we ALWAYS have a choice to get up and leave.
I'm so happy for you, this is going to be an amazing new chapter in your life. I know it had to take ALOT of hard work to get to this point, treat yourself extra nice and give yourself the credit you deserve; YOU ARE AWESOME

Packing done....let's do this!! (As I was packing tonight I found a picture of my ex-our first family photo together after our oldest was born-didn't cry or feel much of anything other than, man did I love him. The good stuff. Ya know? I did my fair share if damage to our marriage, like anyone in a marriage, but I fought hard. I did everything I could. I looked at the picture and just said, "grow up". I did love him but I love myself and my girls infinitely more to ever put us through that again. Not once. Never again. I can guarantee this new home won't have any violent drunken memories in it. I can already feel the weight off my shoulders lifting!)
Packing can stir up emotions but I am good...ready and excited and at peace with this journey God has me on!! Jesus has the wheel now-not a drunk lunatic.
I know I'm rambling. Just happy and overflowing with thanks to you all that have supported me on this journey. There were some days that your words and support were the only thing that got me through. I clung to every word at times. Just, thank you.

We are officially moved in! And it's all I thought it would be. Nice simple home in the country-just beyond beautiful. The girls were welcomed to their bedroom with a scorpion 
Axis deer walking by the backyard. And the sellers left a huge smoker in the backyard-um, smoked salmon all the time!
Getting here, today, this moment, was worth everything. God bless y'all!
