Finally...

If you noticed the change on my header, you'll know what I'm about to write about.

After one year and 3 months of not knowing the status of my divorce, I finally received confirmation that my divorce has been finalized. And I could not be any happier.

To have this closure, to know I have no more ties to my EH...well it feels like a whole weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

Bear's divorce will be finalized in July...part of me worries what if at the last minute he and his wife reconnect. In my heart I don't believe that will happen, but having just been given the gift of finality with my divorce, I feel that I have completed a process...and I'm not sure if someone going through a divorce can truly feel that way unless they have completed all the necessary steps.

Maybe you can...for me, just knowing that technically my EH was still my husband and not my ex-husband had carried some weight to it. Not a lot...but enough to make me want to have it all finalized so that I could let Bear know that for me, he's the only one.

Needless to say, this has been a wonderful gift. And I am looking forward to this chapter of my life.
