"You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have"

I have not blogged in a long time, as the whole reason I started this was for Michael. So, that when he was deployed he would have an idea of what was going on in our lives. But, as you can see from the last post...things changed. Life changed! 9 months after that post, almost to the day we got divorced. I can honestly say, that the day I received the decree in the mail I felt a since of relief. Like so much weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

This last month has been beyond stressful! As, along with the decree came the fact that Schyler lost his medical and I lost child support. I went from having a nice chunk of money in savings to trying to figure out what bill was more important to pay. I'm still there, and am more then certain the next few months will be the same way. The important part is, I'm finding a way to do it. We don't have the ability to buy all kinds of new toys and go on random shopping sprees, but at the end of the day we're happy! We have a roof over our heads and food to eat. I'm refinding my frugal ways and back to hunting coupons down!

I'm being challenged now, and that's fine. As I know when this is all over I'll be able to look back and see that I made it through...that we made it through. Until then, I'll just keep on doing what I'm doing!
