...

Hello. I've been avoiding you a bit. I'm sorry about that. I still haven't shared our lantern or our homeschool week. I think I may just skip that alltogether this week.
You see, I have something else to share, haven't known how to approach it but I don't feel genuine writing anything else til I do. So...

my husband moved back in over the weekend. And I truly don't know what else to say about that. I had been going over and over it. We're ready for this, I hope. We're both ready to make changes and I'm at a point to be more flexible and let some things go that really only bog my life down. I saw a quote on Pinterest (that I am sorry but I don't know where the source is or who the author is) that said something along the the lines of -It's only a part of your life because you keep thinking about it-. There are things, between he and I, between myself and others, that I have been holding on to. Thinking about and letting have to much sway over my emotions and outlook and life.
I have to admit out loud, when he left here it wasn't just him to blame, though, I wanted to think for a long time it was. But it was also (a big part) of things I was holding on to and letting determine who I was as a wife.

This is still very overwhelming to me. I am finding myself having these strange emotional reactions to very random things. But I am truly happy and, of course, the girls are beside themselves with happiness. We are trying to settle in and get used to things and finding our new family rhythm. It will take time. It has two years since he moved out. It is definitely going to take some time.
But we're all in it together and ready for this new chapter.

Wishing you all the best of luck with this transition! It takes an amazing person to be able to step back and accept some of the "blame" in a situation.

As they say:" It takes two to tango". I hope all your dancing days will be happy ones from now on. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you and the kids!
((HUGS)) Julie! Finding a new 'normal' can be such fun!
Wow! What news! I don't know what to say other than good luck and let only light guide your way! My friend just wrote an awesome post about marriage, I feel inspired to share it with you since so much of it seems to be about letting go. It was helpful to me to read it. Here is is. http://cedarringmama.wordpress.com/2011/11/17/hol...

i just wanted to send my best wishes. I hope that transition runs smoothly.
Oh my goodness! How did I miss this post earlier this week? I'm so happy for you! I'll probably send you a big, sloppy email in a few minutes, but first I had to tell you that reading this has made me incandescently happy for you and your girls. And your hubby. ::HUGS!::
Sending lots of blessings to you and your family at this time of adjustment. Thank you for sharing such a heart felt post with us. xx
