End of Valente Adventures

Just so you know, this is the end of Valente Adventures. Kim and I are getting divorced. :'( He asked for a divorce the day after I made the last post. Strange how things end up. I hate where this has all come to and I never thought our marriage was really bad. Sure, we had our issues - but horrible? No. But the only thing that I am left with is the way that I act and react and how I continue to treat people - expecially him. I do love my husband dearly... and I think that I always will have that extra soft spot for him. But I can't deny that there was a lot going on that never should have been. The past month has been full of tears and hurt feelings and life spinning faster around me than I can realize. However, despite all the horrible things that have happened I have been surrounded in the loving arms of my Father in Heaven and He's been taking care of me miracle upon miracle. For that I am truely greatful. Like I said earlier this really sucks and I hate that things have ended up this way, and there is so much more than really needs to be known by others, and yes it's very confusing to many. Expecially me - at first. It's been so hard finding out things that were going on just under my nose - and I never saw them. Nonetheless, I am so grateful for the Gospel in my life and for the love of my Heavenly Father and for my family, friends, and others. I am so grateful for the miracles and for the Power of the Priesthood and Blessings, and the stregnth that I find therein. I have moved back to Utah... or so I guess you can say... all my stuff is here, but I really don't have anywhere to live, or call home. I am staying with my parents, but everyone knows what it's like moving back with your parents after having your own home. I am just so ready to move on with my life... and try desperately to forget how much I still love and miss my husband - despite everything.... but logically... It really is for the best.

Girls Night

Tonight was really lovely. For the first time in a very long time I had a girls night out! It was SO lovely just being able to sit around and chat and laugh and grow closer together. We had a pot luck dinner at my home and everyone brought their scrapbook supplies to build pages together. How fun it is to pass the pages around and see the amazing talents of our friends, and draw your creative juices from their fantastic ideas! Really, it was just SO lovely being able to just hang out and have so much fun... : ) We all had so much fun we decided to make it a monthly get-to-gether! I"m really excited for this!
