Hey ... Remember me?

[Tiramisu]

Hope all are doing well!

[Janet]

Sandy....where the heck have you been besides FB? Please stay and keep us company,,,,you've been missed.

[gja1000]

HI Sandy!!! It's good to see you here!!! How's your recovery going?

[judy]

Hi Sandy! It is good to see you here! How are you?

[DianaB]

You have been missed!!! I know that you've been on FB but it's not the same thing as being on here!! How're things going for you???

[paula1961]

Hi Sandy! I certainly remember you.....you like margaritas lol! Hope you are doing well!:)

[Tiramisu]

I've been good. Going through lots of transitions. Missed you all and will come out to play more. I've moved to an apartment and filed for divorce. There, I said it.

[gja1000]

Oh Sandy, I'm so sorry to hear this - but it must be for the best. Coming from someone who divorced her husband 31 years ago, and then found my soul-mate (and been with him for 29 years) - I know it can be absolutely the right thing to do.

It is very stressful, for sure. And the concept of transition is exactly on target. Transitions are good, bad, stressful, happy, uncertain, sad, and lots of other emotions all wrapped up in one.

Please stay in touch with us. We are a very happy family here and we'll do our best to help you in any way we can.

[Tiramisu]

Just make it all go away.

[gja1000]

I wish we could make it all go away. It's hard, it's really hard, but you are stronger than you realize and you will get through this.

[Janet]

I knew something was up with the name change on FB. I'm glad you're back here Sandy...I've really missed you. So terribly sorry for what you're going through, I know it can't be easy. But girlfriend....we are here for you in anyway we can be.

[judy]

We are here for you Sandy. This is a tough time, and the support of friends can make it so much better!

The only way to get through the transition is to go through all of the feelings, problems, issues, joys, freedom, etc. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

[DianaB]

Sandy, I'm so sorry to hear all of this. I know that you're going through a lot right now but we're here for you!!!! :ghug:

[Gina]

Hi Sandy, welcome back .. I am sorry to hear about your divorcing, I am sure it is very hard.. Remember God closes one door and opens another..

[Tiramisu]

Looking for a house, dislike renting. My life is so peaceful right now, even better at work. I found a darling little fix it up house north of Houston, but will probably miss out because hubby is dragging this out. Tempted to buy it any way, before the divorce is final.

[Blueyes]

I'm glad you are finding peace. If you can't get this house, a better one will come along! In a year, you'll probably wonder why you didn't do it sooner;)

Hope things work out on this house....if not, then I'm sure something better is around the corner!!!

[gja1000]

I know you hate being in an apartment - I would too, I just can't imagine what it must be like. I know you want to be settled and get on with your life, and you will, it will happen. You'll find the right place, if not this one, then another one. Things have a way of working out like they are supposed to!

[Tiramisu]

Thanks. Good news, he's been served, gotten a lawyer, and sent an answer. Should get to settle soon. Trust me, I don't want to be doing this at 60 and believe strongly in marriage. I believe God wants me to be happy and blesses the divorce or I'd still be over there.

[Janet]

Sandy.....I admire you so much for doing what you need to do. Of course I don't know the whole story, but some time I hope we get to talk about it. I've always been afraid....especially since I don't have a high paying job and at my age....not sure who would want to hire me. Right now I have my mother living with us and my husband has been really great about everything. I wish you well dear friend.

[gja1000]

Oh, I'm glad to hear that - I hope it is over soon - dragging unpleasantness out does not promote peace of mind and that is what you need now, after this ordeal. I hope it is over soon! Stay strong.

[DianaB]

I too hope that everything goes smoothly and quickly for you. My Mom is one of the most wonderful people I know but getting a divorce from my Dad was one of the best things that she ever did!!! I know that good things are around the corner for you!!!!

[Janet]

I'm just so happy you are getting to where you want and need to be.

[Lindsey]

Sandy, welcome back, and I'm very sorry for the circumstances. I believe in marriage too, but I also believe that sometimes you need to put yourself and your happiness first. I'm sure you've made the right decision for yourself. Good luck with finding a house!
