I am looking at my friend Heidi's Christmas card and it says "good friends are like snowflakes, each is unique, heaven sent and makes the world a beautiful place" ~ so true!

My Girls
These are some of the lovely ladies in my life, that at times lately help me get through the day (or night). It is because of their love and support I know I will be o.k!

Thank you!
First of all, thank you all for the kind words and messages. I truly feel blessed to have so many supportive, caring people around me!
The kids and I are settling into a new routine, a rather relaxed approach to each day. Yesterday was a perfect day to be outside, so after lunch we went snowshoeing. It took longer than usual because Logan needed a "few" breaks, but we were in no hurry, just enjoyed our day!

These times, they are a changing
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
This is a post I have been trying to come up with for the last couple of weeks. This blog has become sort of a journal of my life, opened for viewing. I have such wonderful relationships with so many of you, but find myself so busy at work, or after school with the kids that I haven't been able to share some major changes in my life with you in person.
This is not easy to write. But because this is my life and futures posts will reflect the future challenges as well as hopeful joys, I will share with you.
A few months ago Lars said he was unhappy, I assumed this was just one of life's little bumps in the road. In general the life I was living with him, and the kids felt happy. I will not go into the months of pleading, but the outcome was he "ultimately needs to be happy" and that is not with me. Lars moved out last Saturday, and I filed for divorce.
I have lost the person I have shared the last 14 years of my life with. This is the person I have shared all major life events, lost loved ones and friends, but also shared daily mundane things with!
This is not the path I would've chosen. Another quote I love from Ralph Waldo Emerson is "do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." Time to forge my own trail!
I am learning (with the help of my friends) there is my voice of logic, and a voice of emotion. I am learning to stop asking for answers, because none will be given to my satisfaction. I am learning to lean on friends when that emotional side becomes too much. I am learning to let go.
I will take this opportunity to bond with my kids in a new way, the three of us. We will be OK, I know this. I am grateful for all the love and support from the truly amazing people in my life. Thank you!

| Before Rock Band, my Dad and Luke got the tree set up and my Mom and Lo did an awesome job decorating! Thanks SO much for helping you guys! |

Concert
Sunday night we took Luke to see Brandon Flowers in Seattle at the Showbox. For those that don't know he is the lead singer of The Killers (the 1st concert we took Luke to last year), and he's out on a solo tour. I LOVE the Killers, so I was a bit saddened when I heard he was hitting the road solo. However Luke convinced me to get his cd...I liked every song! We heard he was heading this way got, our $25 tickets and went.
When we saw The Killers, they played at the WAMU in Seattle, it's bigger than the Showbox (this I did not know until last night). So knowing we would be standing, I wanted to be as near to the stage as possible, the doors opened at 7 (we were in line in the rain at 6:30 with maybe 100 people, the rest showed up closer to 9), stood for an hour inside until the opening act came and then FINALLY at 9 Brandon Flowers...I was tired (way past my bedtime) and we had to drive back to Wenatchee after, but it was AWESOME.
