In the weeks leading up to the closing on our house, I was a wreck. I was thrilled about becoming a first-time homeowner with Josh, but I was also incredibly anxious. It wasn’t the stress of coming up with piles of money, nor was it the weight of the commitment. I think it was simply [...]

After I’d had a chance to think about Josh’s three-to-five year procreation timeframe, I decided to tell him how exactly how I felt. It was scary, because there was a chance that my biological clock would freak him out, and where would that leave our relationship? I pretty much wanted to have a baby tomorrow, and while I [...] After my would-be anniversary, I finally got some professional help. I found a kind, insightful therapist whose office was just a short walk from mine. I relished these breaks from work and wished I could just stay in the quiet waiting room, drinking tea and flipping through magazines. During my walks back through Dinkytown, I [...] On the evening of July 3, 2007, I sat in a movie theater in Uptown Minneapolis, stuffing my face with popcorn. If I hadn’t left my husband in August, it would have been our two-year wedding anniversary. The previous year, John and I had taken his kid brother and sister camping over the Fourth of [...] I turned thirty on a glorious spring day—the kind where one should really sit in the grass barefoot with a good book, watching puffy clouds cruise by.

That’s enough to make anyone dog-tired, but I was caught up in the positive buzz of the wedding, [...] On the evening of May 1, 2007, I found myself at a choral rehearsal of sorts. The “choir” included most of the Picnic League group, minus lovebirds Chris and Corri, who were getting married later that week. They were celebrating with a small, private ceremony on Thursday and a big reception [...] By the end of April, I felt relatively at home in my new surroundings. Megan’s apartment was on the border of Minneapolis and St. Paul, just down the road from my new office. It was also only a ten-minute drive from Josh’s place. The rent was cheap, and the company was [...] My life was in flux, and as much as I longed to nail down all of the unknowns, I just had to be patient. I’d been jumping through hoops for potential employers, and I was anxious to hear back about two jobs in particular. One was a challenging position that would build on my publishing [...] It’s Blog Jog Day, Mother’s Day, and my 33rd birthday! Blog Joggers: Please explore all my blog has to offer, then jog on over to quirky pickings. First-time visitors may notice that Divorced Before 30 doesn’t feel very “bloggy.” That is, I don’t typically write about my present-day life. This is a “blogoir” (blog meets memoir), and [...] |
