Let me start this off by saying that I absolutely do not believe in divorce and I am very sad that my happily ever after did not come true. With that being said I did everything that I could of to save my marriage but there was absolutely nothing more I could do and so after a year and half of being separated I am officially divorced. It actually doesn't even seem real to me. But my sweet friends from high school gave me a little party to celebrate. I say celebrate only because at least now I am able to move on and find someone who will make the kids and I happy and that we can make happy as well. So it was a party of new beginnings. I got some sweet flip flops that light up, some bath stuff and a darling shirt. I have the sweetest friends a girl could ask for!! Jen got me a cake that said, "Welcome to the Single Life." AHHHHHH wierd that I am single. It had an awesome picture of a princess that we decided looked like a clown. We ate a rock creek pizza. It was so fun because we always ate at this pizza place growing up in junior high and high school. We have had a lot of fun memories there for sure!! We also celebrated Jen's b-day. It is such a blessing to have such sweet friends who are so thoughtful and are helping me turn a negative into a positive!!!

Sorry Trista, but I the friendly neighborhood blog stocker! I stumbled onto your blog from a friend of a friend and so on. I want you to know that there really is life after the tragedy of divorce. One day you will trust again and find an amazing man who will love you beyond anything you have ever know. You are amazing and deserve only the best! Congratulations on your new start.
I am glad that everything is finally final for you. I am sure that is a great feeling. Good luck with the single life, I am sure that someone great and wonderful will find you and sweep you off your feet.
CONGRATS! It will not take you long to find the real man of your dreams. You're goergous and have a good head on your shoulders.
Trista-- Congratulations! I am so happy for you to have a new beginning, as you said. The future is bright for you and you will find your happily ever after! I love you tons! Sorry I couldn't make it to the party. I love that place, too! Dang! :)
It does seem wierd to say that your single again, but I am relieved for you to have it all in the past. Have fun dating again...there is one lucky guy out there for you!
That is definitely worth celebrating. I am truly so happy for you. I am just glad that you can finally move on and not be stuck in this crappy place. we'll see ya soon.
we're headed out there on Monday but then I'll be off the cedar city for a week. when I get back we need to get together. I can't wait to catch up.
Life isn't always fabulous but it's life and it's exciting and it's an adventure and all we can do it live it. My Mom and I were talking the other day about hard times and I asked this question, "what if I could go back and erase this and that bad thing that has happened in my life? Would that change how things are now?" I realized it wasn't worth the risk. It takes the good and the bad to make us who we are and who we are growing to become. And your life looks more good then bad. =)
Hey Trista. It's Melanie (Snow) Tripp. I came across your blog and I just wanted to write you a quick message and say first of all that you and your kids are so beautiful! It's almost unfair! HaHa! I also want to say that I admire you and your strength and the example you are to me and everyone else. You have been through so much and yet you have stayed strong in the gospel and stayed true to what YOU want in life and have remained an amazing mom to your kids. I know of so many people, that when faced with trials, fall apart and fall away from the things that will bring them the most peace and happiness so I look up to you. Thank you for your example and CONGRATS on being free! I'm sure there are all ready guys lined up at your door! Good Luck to you!
Mel

I have been meaning to call you, and just tell you how proud I am of you for the way you have handled yourself through this whole ordeal. You can officially walk away, knowing you did EVERYTHING you could do, and wash your hands clean of this. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out, and I know the man you will find will be amazing...
Hate to tell ya but I was trying not to arch my back, yes my butt just sticks out that far all of the time. I will email you the pictures I have.
