Yellowstone

We arrived at our RV Park (Yellowstone’s Edge) outside Livingston, Montana on Saturday night. At that time our rental car had been canceled and we didn’t know if we would be able to find another, so we hit the road Sunday in the RV to see Old Faithful (and lots of other cool stuff!)

Exploring Yellowstone National Park in a 32 foot motor home isn’t ideal, but it also wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, and bonus: we couldn’t forget anything (like our next day trip into the park without our binoculars or bear spray.)

We passed the halfway point between the equator and the North Pole, then arrived at the Mammoth visitor center where there were elk everywhere.

Here are some more pictures from the drive. We eventually made it to Old Faithful and we all watched her erupt for the first time.

It was pretty epic day and I thought I posted this blog a long time ago but it was just sitting in my drafts unfinished. Oops!

How we got here…

Some of you have noticed that we moved. Some of you know that I bought a house. Some of you know I bought the house with my kids’ dad, my “wasband” of 5 years. Yup, you read that right! Me and the ex-husband purchased a home together. No, we are not getting back together. We have totally separate living spaces and it’s been so wonderful for the kids. Here’s how it started back in December. This is a page from my journal that I was looking back on.  It was my personal writing to myself that I feel led to share, so please be kind. The holidays are definitely a challenging time for me. Broken families, childhood, trauma, anniversaries of loss, along with the cold weather, short days, and little sunlight here in the PNW… It definitely challenges my mental health.  This will be my first winter without antidepressants in quite a while. I think I might have done one of the Mexico winters without pharmaceuticals, but other than that it’s been at least 11 or 12 years since I’ve been anti-depres

(I wrote this a month ago, but I’m just now finally brave enough to share it here. If you comment, please be kind.) I’ve probably taken 25 flights over the last year or so, and every time up until now I’ve thought that things would be better if the plane I was on just crashed, and I died, and Rob could collect the insurance money and hire a nice nanny to care for the kids and I could just go to heaven and be with Jesus instead of having to go through all the pain and hurt that comes with getting divorced. I know that this is completely selfish of me, and I would have never done anything to intentionally end my own life and leave my kids without a mother, but I honestly felt that death was the only way out of the situation I was in. I was not strong enough to leave my marriage, but it had become quite apparent that I was not strong enough to stay either.  Today I took off on an airplane, on one last solo trip before I become a single mom, and for the first time in over a year, I didn’t
