2,192 Days Later... A lifetime lived in such a short time

I actually can't believe that I'm writing this update on the six year anniversary of my decision to leave. Six years on and still I am thankful every single day that I made that decision. Never looking back and wondering "what if?", never holding any regret or sorrow of that loss.

Where am I now?

I married a wonderful man last August who has taken my girls on as his own. We knew each other before the girls were conceived but it didn't get romantic until the girls were about 10 months old. It's not all roses all the time, but gee it's wonderful to have a relationship that is constantly evolving in a positive direction for the most part. Like most couples, we have our set backs. But we use those opportunities to grow as people, as a couple and to move forward together stronger than before.

We bought a house early last year, we fell pregnant around the same time and I was offered a part time job that worked in perfectly with our family. We had our son in December and our girls are turning three this October and they are still the light of my life  We rescued two dogs, one early last year and one earlier this year and our family is now pretty full and complete.

Life has changed a lot for me and every year at this time I get a little reflective on life in general and find myself celebrating the years since I left. I share my experience with others and still get the occassional comment via the blog about how someone else was helped by my story.

This is a short update, but one to say that I'm doing well.
