It was a hard decision at first, a huge one actually. I was apprehensive of such a big move in both our relationship and literally with moving away from Mt Vernon and moving my boys to a different school. Not being married is of course huge too, and I know many were surprised I made the decision to move in, unmarried, with my boyfriend. (I'm sure I have been the topic of many the conversation for my scandalous decision). But this move was a very big move for us both, we were both very much excited and understandably nervous having both been through divorces around the same time with long term spouses.
And even though my oldest man-boy wasn't coming with me, (Clayton lives with his dad and it's his senior year so I get that). It was such a great decision. I knew Bob was an attentive, amazing man before but over the past several months, that has been reconfirmed several 1000 times over. The boys even though they had to change school have both tried things they would have never tried prior. Collin tried football and Cregan tried wrestling, all the boys get along and Alex is just one of my boys, and the boys are all just brothers.
The house, the home I thought I would grow old in was sold to some friends that I've known for many, many years and I'm so glad they will build memories there. The purchase freed up some of Josh's obligations, and he has since purchased a home too. Bob and I bought a beautiful home that we have been able to put our own touches on, and I love it so much more than I thought I could.
This is what life does... it gives us lemons sometimes and from those lemons we can pucker up or we can add some sweetness to it and enjoy the heck out of that lemonade. And I'm so enjoying my lemonade of life....
