Everything will be recorded by Monday, but my divorce is final effective yesterday. And my house closes tomorrow. I'll be renting back for 3 weeks then moving into my brand-new town-home style condo. Although moving is always stressful, I am totally looking forward to furnishing and decorating my OWN place. Then my next task is to get an income.

It's a new beginning and sounds exciting! It is lovely to have your own place in your own way especially after a divorce. Have fun setting up your new place. And best wishes on the income search. Make sure the income covers lots of fabric purchases. Doesn't that ift in under health care coverage? Oh, and don't forget to create lots of fabric storage at your new place.

Thanks you Jennifer! I wasn't sure how I was going to feel, but after signing the closing papers for the house, I felt lighter and happier. I think I'll feel even LIGHTER when the divorce is finally all recorded with the courts on Monday. It also helps that I sold some dining room furniture for $700 on Craig's List. Now if only someone would buy my baby grand piano, everything will be grand.

Leah, you made it through the hardest part. I'm so proud of you and excited about this new adventure in your life. I'm looking forward to seeing new reviews and "hearing" from you on the boards.
