The start of my new life!

Well, here it is, the first day of the beginning of the rest of my life. One that I hope will surely be memorable and fantastic! So where do I begin?



Brief History:

I have been married and divorced twice and as a result, had THREE wonderful children. My kids' ages are: 24, 20, and 18. All grown up now and don't really "need" their mom like they used to when they were smaller. Two of them are married with a child (my grandkids-Adriana & Logan). BTW, I love being a "NANA"! It is one of the greatest feelings in the world to hold them and love them, and then send them home...lol

I haven't had the best of luck in the "men" department and have finally realized that. I don't need a man to make me happy. All I need is ME to make me happy. I have recently made some very big life altering changes in my life which is what prompted me to start a blog.

The Bigger Picture:

I am moving to Kansas City, MO in just a few weeks. I will be moving in with my oldest, daughter in law, and granddaughter in the lower level of their home. It is going to be like living in an efficiency apartment, but hey, it is going to be a blast. They have lived there for 2 years and I haven't gotten to spend much time with my precious angel. This opportunity is such a blessing and will be more fulfilling than I can even imagine.

As everyone knows, I am a "social butterfly" so this transition is going to be difficult. But, I need to do this for ME. I need to focus on ME. I need to make ME happy. As much as this may sound selfish, I am 44 years old and have sacrificed my entire adult life to those around me. I am not getting any younger you know. I have done alot of soul searching in the past few weeks and this is the best decision I have made for myself my whole life.

I am going to miss my two youngest kids and grandson to itty bitty pieces which will prompt visits OFTEN. I am going to miss my family (being the oldest of 9) but we are all adults now and have to do what is best for us these days. I will miss all my friends and BFF's (which there are many) but they understand! Nothing like "road trips" for the girls to come and let me take them out on the town in KC.

So, here it is, the FIRST day of my NEW BEGINNING and I can't wait. Stay tuned for valuable information, updates, pictures, and basic thoughts in the future. Wish me luck folks! This is an adventure that will take me to higher places that I ever knew existed. God has and is blessing me beyond belief right now, although sometimes it feels like the black hole. I know he is looking out for me and that's why my heart, head, and soul are all in agreement about this decision. I love you all.

Till next time,

Connie
