Your Home Really Is Where your Heart Is

I have been going through a loonnnnnnng divorce...officially in March it will be two years, and the process continues...no fun.  No having cancer didnt speed things up...my perspective but not the process!!  Originally I had this silly idea that nesting in the house we were all in was a good idea....  I spent a week in the house with the kids, and then their dad spent a week in the house and we would alternate...I had thought the nesting was a healthier way for our children to transition through the process, there have been some positives, but many challenges, mostly not being able to move on which is a necessary part of the process.

November first and another wonderful blessing of my cancer I got a condo which I am renting in St. Albert, and a chance to move on!!! I can not tell you how freeing and wonderful it felt to finally take this step, and loads of stress started dissolve.....what made this experience even more exciting was one of my close friends did a home extreme makeover on the condo and it was so amazing and such an incredible gift.  We were a good team I bought the furniture and she put her phenomenal designer touch on it and in less than 36 hours the place was transformed and made into a home....the kids are adjusting well. Rayanne loves it and the boys of course are country boys and resisting admitting they wont like anything that has to do with city living...but the space feels wonderful and it truly does feel like a home......thank you my dear friend for helping make this possible it has truly lifted my spirits and made this process much more manageable!
