I Heart Audrey

The Fox Theatre and Coca-Cola have teamed up to show movie classics all summer long. A month ago I was thrilled to discover that my very favorite movie was included in the line up – Breakfast at Tiffany’s! So last night my roommate, best friend and I went to the Fox for a girls night to see it! It was a great time. It almost brought a tear to my eye seeing Audrey up on the big screen! And all of the cute ladies wearing their ballet flats, LBDs, and boat neck sweaters!

I think that this will be my last post at Mrs LSL.....too hard. I opened up Ms LAS and will probably be posting from there for a bit until I come up with something cute and catchy! Thank you so much to all of you for your support. I appreciate it more than you'll ever know. Ms. LAS

Are you Sitting Down?

I just found out over the weekend that my ex husband of 6 weeks is engaged. And he told me by text message on Saturday night while I was out to dinner with friends. I sent a text back saying, “Congratulations. Can I interest you in an engagement ring that I have for sale?”

I need some time to process this information, but all I can say is this – good luck to her and thank God it’s not me.

Did I mention I was drowning my sorrows in bonnie Scotland? Nothing like a trip abroad to help a girl heal. Family helps with that too. :)












Oh and did I mention y'all are awesome? I literally had tears streaming down my cheeks reading your comments. Thank you so much for your support. And have a happy 4th of July! LAS

Here Goes

People have been telling me that it happens to lots of people. That 48% of couples go through it. But this was definitely not an experience that I had hoped to go through ever in my life.

I was granted a divorce almost a month ago, June 1st. Yup, I’m now a divorcee. I never imagined that I would be 26 and divorced. I have gone through a long list of emotions over the past year– anger, grief, guilt, emptiness to name a few…..I could really go on and on. But I would say that betrayal is the word that comes to mind the most frequently when I think about what I’ve been through. Betrayed by him and his family, but also betraying those around me. Pretending that everything is okay for an extended amount of time takes its toll on you. And I don’t just mean your looks (although that did happen, hello carbs!). I was absolutely exhausted by the time I decided I’d had enough.

I am not going to rehash all of the awful details to you all for a number of different reasons but 1) although I am experiencing hate that I never thought was possible from me I would never want to tarnish his professional reputation as far as his job goes and who knows who reads my blog stranger things have happened 2) I’m embarrassed, it’s almost like if I put it in writing it makes the past year real and I honestly don’t know if I’m ready for that and 3) I don’t even know where to begin to tell my story. But I did have the pleasure of meeting his girlfriend that had already moved into my house before the divorce was final. That was really sweet of him to introduce us! (Tongue in cheek of course).

I also didn’t write in my blog for so long because I felt like a phony. All of our pictures were real, the magazine articles about our wedding were real and so were the stories, but of course I left details out. Please know that there was so many times that I wanted to reach out through my blog, I loved all of your comments throughout the years, my engagement, wedding, honeymoon, anniversary.

I wish that I could say that I wish him well, but it's too early and too fresh to say that. I have great relationships with all of my ex’s, but something about this is so different. I not only feel betrayed, but so do my family. My family is and always will be the most important thing to me and knowing that he has caused them pain as well infuriates me.

I’m trying to figure out a new name. I am no longer Mrs. LSL! I know I've asked before but if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. In honor of July 4th, How about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness through the Eyes of a Divorcee! haha :)

LAS

I'm still here! Like I said, I will be back to posting soon, I'm just not quite ready yet. I'm doing fine though, no need to worry, I've just needed to take a brief hiatus from blogging until everything in my personal life has calmed down.


For now, I'm keeping up with all of you, reading as often as I can. But for some reason, my work won't let me leave messages on your blogs!

Take care in the meantime! L

Wanted: New Blog Title

I think I'm going to change my blog title. I thought about Preppy Georgia Peach, or something along those lines but haven't been able to decide on anything yet. I'd love to hear your suggestions!
