An Explanation....

So, this post has been a long time coming and I will probably still leave it short and to the point. I am sure most who read this already know, but Josh and I divorced early this year. We had separated for the second time in October and shortly after made it final. He and I had a difficult marriage from the beginning. We let things fester without proper resolutions until they built up to breaking point. If proper steps had been taken, we may have been able to save our marriage, but they weren't. So here we are.....

Above all, we have a beautiful little daughter together. We both love her so much and I feel we are making some really good choices in the way we are raising her. We are kind and respectful to each other now and are sure to always be positive about one another. We never want Hazel to feel the separation more than she has to.

While it will never be ideal for Hazel to be raised in two separate homes, it was never good for her to be raised in the prior circumstance either. She is the best gift I have ever received in my life and I will always be grateful to her dad for that. He is a really good dad to her.

Now we are just moving forward trying to stay positive and happy. It is not always easy, but I believe we are happier than we were before. It is my goal to be the best mom I can to her. I love her so much.

Hopefully this post did not come as a shock to anyone. Thanks to all those who do know for their love and kindness.
