happy birthday to me ... um, 3 months ago

yeup, i just celebrated my latest birthday (i won't bore you with stating my age) and it was quite the adult dorkfest. all of my sweet girls and their guys around me along with that loveable man o' mine ... it was heaven. sure we went to a chain restaurant ... sure, we went to see a movie about mutants ... but what do you people want from me? I'm a DORK, I keep telling you that ... sheesh, maybe now you'll believe me. ;)

so ok yeah this was all in May. but come on guys, i'm busy! i swear!

i got to meet darth for the first time this past month. he was incredible, so sweet, smart, funny and articulate. i was impressed. and fyi, he doesn't wear jeans ... he wasn't exaggerating. quite the metrosexual.

hmmm, what else is going on. still same job, traveling has been put off for a bit (thankfully).

*d* and I just celebrated our 3 year anniversary. absolutely insane that it's been that long and weirder yet is that it has only been that short amount of time! we had a lovely weekend in the Marin county area, just gypsy-ing about with no reservations or plans. heaven for people like us. we just hung out for the weekend looking at all of the amazing nature. i am so in love with this man. we can hang out 84 hrs straight and STILL completely long for each others company when we part. it's quite amazing. he's funny even after driving for 10 hrs ... with me kinda green from car sickness. wow, he MUST love me.

we took the boys to Vegas for the weekend. not to see any of the Vegas-y sites by any means, cuz that's just nasty. our best friends have a place out there and we hung out with them for the weekend. it was wonderful. out in the middle of nowhere with all the stars and quiet ... the boys had such a wonderful time. as my oldest said "i had the best time just eatin' and swimmin' and then eatin' again". it's back to school for them in 2 weeks. summer vacations are getting shorter and shorter! oh yeah, and the youngest started football ... yeah, i've started taking panic attack medicine.

oh yeah, and the divorce papers are FINALLY in!! woohoo! should be divorced by March 1st at the latest! so what am I feeling?
relief? YES
happiness? sure
anxiety? definitely
excitement? YES
the reason for the "sure" on happiness? well, its weird. I am happy to get divorced because I have wanted it and I want to not be married anymore to my ex. but it's still sad on a level. that something didn't work out that you tried for so long at. we are still friends and talk all the time so it's not that i miss him. it's just sad when something ends for good. i am happy that i won't have to worry about being called his wife anymore. i am extraordinarily happy about the possibilities with *d* now ... but also nervous.

wow, do i put pressure on myself.

anyway ... so that's what been going on. what a boring post.
