What and amazing birthday!!!

I had the most amazing Birthday week! Deshawn and I went to Austin and San Antonio for the weekend. I had been planning this get away for about 6 months so when Deshawn and I split up I was sad that I was going to have to cancel all my plans; but after much thought Deshawn and I decided to still go, as friends.We left Dallas mid-afternoon on Thursday and headed south. I love road trips...something I inherited from my Father! We both knew that when we got to Austin there would be lots of question to answer about our relationship so we spent the time between Dallas and Austin talking about us and where our journey was taking us. Here is the answer in a nut shell..We are good friends, and neither of us see the need to change that so for now we are roommates, best friends, and part of each others support circle. We both feel that our path for now is meant to be walked alone and not as a married couple. This all may be hard for someone on the outside looking in to understand but it makes perfect sense to us and that's all that matters!

After spending the night in Austin we headed to San Antonio. We had made plans to see the Alamo and visit the River Walk on Friday. We added Ripley's believe it or Not and the wax museum just for giggles and it was the most fun I have had in a very long time!!

On Saturday we went to SeaWorld...which was MY whole reason for wanting to go to San Antonio in the first place! We rode both roller coasters and the water ride but the best part of the day (besides spending time together) was the whales! What beautiful majestic creatures, I was brought to tears by their energy and beauty.It was one of the best Birthdays I have ever had. I am so blessed in my life and despite everything that has gone on in the last 6 months I am happy about the path I am on and the journey that still lies before me.
