Last month, I went to Chicago for 5 days with two of my PA classmates for a board review course. Can I just tell you how EASY it was to fly alone?!? I made it through security in record speed, sat uninterrupted throughout the flight and even read a book (gasp!!!). And even though I missed the little people, I thoroughly loved eating with friends and sleeping peacefully and bathroom time alone. Aaron and I will be in Costa Rica for 8 days this summer and I worried about how I could leave them for so long but now I know I can. It's important for me to have time away so I can remember who I am and enjoy doing non-mommy things. Plus, I'm super excited to spend a week with poor neglected Aaron!!!
To say that my life has been a rollercoaster would be the understatement of a lifetime. In the past 2 years, I went through betrayal by my spouse of 15 years, and both of my parents passed away. I'm now on a journey to redefine who I am and what I want in this world.
