Hello world!

DSC_5434
So I was just looking at my old blog.
and delcared to myself...
"Kim, you were an excellent blogger,
your photos are beautiful
and your writing is interesting enough to hold some peoples attention,
you really should still be doing this"
(no need for humility here, we all know I'm awesome,
well at least I do!)
I really wanted to separate myself from the old blog,
seeing as it's a family blog, and well our family dynamic has changed.
So here you go, a bright and shiny and not quite beautiful new blog
(No worries, I'll make her beautiful, right now she's just a template)
 
So here is a little backstory, just in case you don't know me very well.
This past year I found myself in a situation that I never expected to be in.
When I said yes to a proposal 7.5 years ago and decided to get married
in the temple, I never thought that it would some day come to an end.
I signed up for life and eternity.
Unfortunately(and fortunately) this is where I am.
I'm not one for airing dirty laundry on the internet or anywhere in life really
and so the facts will be very vague and there will be plenty left to your imagination.
Our divorce though to most other people seemed sudden and unexpected
was a very long time coming.
Jordan and I were not happy together,
we brought the worst out in eachother
and we just couldn't seem to get a handle on loving one another unconditionally.
Don't get me wrong..it didn't just end because we couldn't get along.
We went to numerous different counselors and we fought hard for our marriage.
but some big things went down and
it just came to a point of knowing that we would both be much happier if we split up.
So here we are.
This blog is just going to replace the other one.
it's still going to be about family,
just with the new dynamics.
It'll be all about Joseph and I
and what we're up to
and how we're adjusting
and how we're growing
and well just how awesome we are!
