One year.

Wow, reading that post from March of last year is surreal now that I see how things have played out. I openly wrote that I wasn't happy in my marriage but I never took it serious enough until it was too late. It's interesting reading through all of these posts though and to see how far I've come. My life has been a roller coaster ride.

So much has changed. The biggest thing is I'm separated- in the process of a divorce. I have been living with my parents since November trying to get on my feet to get my own place. Stevie and I still speak and are on decent terms, usually. Once he signs the divorce papers everything will be filed and it should be finalized before the end of April. This whole situation has turned my life upside down. I never wanted to be a divorce statistics. I used to always be that person who said divorce was just a couple giving up. It's funny when the shoe is on the other foot. 

I got promoted in August 2013. I am now an assistant manager for our childcare program at the YMCA. I switched to two different schools and work for the most amazing chick on the planet. We have been friends since middle school and she is awesome at her job and I wouldn't want to work for anyone else. My staff make my life quite a bit easier too..I would say I'm very lucky. Plus, the kids at these schools are so different from what I'm used to that I feel I have a better understanding of my job and can adapt to different environments better now.

I am a full time student as well. I graduate this December with my Bachelor's in psychology. I have senioritis like crazy right now and am actually taking a two week break from school starting Tuesday (thank goodness). 

I have a second job at a local bowling alley. This is my second or third week working there and it's alright. It is overwhelming at times and frustrating at others but I think once I get into a routine and get used to working with the public again, I'll be okay.

I've started seeing my counselor on a regular basis again because things have been crazy since my separation. My anxiety spikes at random times and I'm always a little uneasy. I'm still taking all the same meds I was prescribed years ago after getting out of the hospital. It's crazy to think I'm still on all those prescriptions. 

I want to start writing again because it used to always help with my anxiety and I figured I would at least post an update tonight and get everyone up to speed. My life has always been an open book- I have nothing to hide and always hope that someone can learn something from my experiences.
