Reflecting Back...

Ever feel like sometimes you turn around and life has become a blur? I mean you remember getting to where you are, but not sure quite how. That is where I am at. So much has happened, and even though it has been a long road - somedays it feels like just yesterday the process started.
Addy, Wesley and I escaped our world of abuse October 22, 2005. The 21st of October 2005 was probably one of the scariest nights in my life - though there are still parts of it I can't totally remember yet. However, through therapy the memories are coming together - painfully but healing also. In April of 2006 the judged granted me and the kids the divorce and supplied us with protection. In July of 2007 I married my best friend Jeffrey - which began the process of today.
Battle after battle, tear over smiles and worries of the next day started our journey. However, long story short in December of 2009 the judge took away my ex's rights to the children and in January of 2010 Jeffrey became their official dad!
Somedays it seems like a blink of an eye and somedays it seems like all the time in between those dates just stood still. Today I am so grateful that we are all officially Anderson's and that my ex can no longer be near us or fill our world with fear.
Our world is new and exciting. New things, new feelings, new way of life - the joys have just begun with so many more to come...
