Love this feeling .....

This picture makes me tear up just a little bit. This is me and my best friend Ashley at a Jazz game a few years ago. Ash got married just a few weeks after me and she just went through a divorce also. She has been the biggest inspiration to me. She was one of the first people I called when I didn't think I could take much more. She is one of the toughest girls I've ever met and I am so blessed to know her! I look forward to many many more girls nights with her. I couldn't ask for a better 'single again' friend. She is definitely one of my favorites! :)
I was going through a bunch of old pictures and I came across this one ... This is me and one of my best friends Kara! This was taken years ago but I remember it like it was yesterday. I was trying to find a picture so I could do a post and I knew as soon as I saw this one I had something to post about! I remember everything about this night. We were laughing about crazy hair and I asked her if I could rat hers like a country singer and she said yes, however as you can tell she didn't let me do it very big. Even this was too much for her ha ha ha!
I found out this last week that my divorce is final, so crazy that it's finally over and done. I can't believe how fast it went. The feelings are a little bit overwhelming and hard to explain but I'll do my best.... You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you catch a glimpse of the lovely hair do the hair fairy helped you create last night and you can't help but smile and giggle just a little? That feeling is constant right now ... I find myself smiling all the time and I'm actually enjoying things that I normally don't. The complicated parts of my job like dealing with the insurance companies and the mean customers who think it's your fault that they don't have any refills left don't seem so bad anymore. I'm a lot more excited for the little things like singing at the top on my lungs in traffic just to watch people's reaction .. I love that!
I'm nervous, excited, anxious, and scared to see what is next! The thought of dating again gives me butterflies! I look forward to being able to use and share all the many lessons I've learned in the last couple of years and I hope and pray that I can find someone who will be open to all of them, I know there is someone special out there who will love me no matter what!
My sister Abby brought me dinner on Wednesday night at work to celebrate and we were able to have a good talk. We've been through a lot of similar situations and it's so nice to be able to go to her for advice. She really is the best!
