I don't journal much anymore, but this log has been such a huge part of my life that I feel the need to cap it off with a farewell. That's not to say that there won't be the occasional update from time to time, but I'm too busy living in the moment to bother categorizing it anymore.
My life is amazing. I survived terrible hardships and abuse, and I thank you all for being there for me when I needed you the most. In December, I'll graduate with my BSN, and I've accepted an RN position at Huntsville Hospital that begins in January. After a few years, I'll go back to earn my graduate degree and become a CRNP or a PA. My career will be spent taking care of people, just as I've always sought to do.
Michael is the best husband I could ever possibly ask for. He is everything that Jason was not, and nothing that he was. We've been blissfully married for over a year, and after struggling so hard before, slipping into this comfort in life feels doubly sweet. We're well matched, and we both seek to raise the other one up, not tear each other down. When both people try to give 100% of themselves to the other, the result equals far, far more than just double. He is an amazing man, partner, and father. Our lives are so fulfilled now that we have our little girl. We both have everything that we've ever wanted.
