Happy Fourth of July

In the big picture, today was a good day. Me and my girls, or as Brian so recently emphasized OUR girls, went to my dad's and stepmom's to celebrate the Fourth of July. My dad, Dee, me, Brianna, Ella, my sister Sandi, and her boyfriend Matt, my sister Dawn, her husband Johnnie, their kids Felicia, Christopher and Adrianna, my sister Tina, and my stepmom's friend, her husband and their daughter were there. We had a really nice bbq dinner with salad, cheesy potatoes and more. When it was dark Dawn and Johnnie put on a fireworks show for us. The kids got to do sparklers too. The neighbors were putting off those fireworks in the sky. It was all pretty nice.

I've come to terms with the marriage being definitely over. I'm ready to get it done as soon as possible. I am hoping Brian will cooperate. He still thinks I am acting out of line, so I am not sure how cooperative he'll be. For the sake of the kids, I hope he'll come around. I still don't think he's a bad guy. I think he's lost his way, so I keep praying for him. But, I do know that we are not meant to be together forever like I really had believed. That makes me sad, but I am determined to move on in my life.

I hope everyone had a Happy Fourth!
