Did I ever imagine I'd be doing the single mom thing? Um, no. Does it suck to have to think about the logistics of seperate holidays and shared weekends? Definitey. Do I want what's best for my son? Absolutely. Which is why I know this was the right decision. I want Mason to grow up with parents who are happy and love each other, who model a friendship and mutual respect and who enjoy being around each other. I want him to grow up in a household knowing what a healthy relationship and a strong marriage looks like and I want him to have parents who can openly pray with him and demonstrate and teach him about God's love and forgiveness.
That being said, the past several weeks have been all about getting organized, focusing all my time and energy on Mason when I have him, and replacing furniture in our empty little house. Not much to blog about, unless you are interested in pictures of the holes in the wall and the bare rooms we were left with. Despite the emptiness of our physical surroundings, our lives still feel very full. Mason and I are enjoying our time together and I am doing the best I can to make the most of every minute. That's the way we should all live, right?
As one of my best friends reminded me, "An empty house means more room to hit balls".
And hey, it's an excuse to start a few repurposing and refinishing projects. I'll catch up with the blogging again, thanks for everyone's support, encouragement and prayers. God is so good.
