Well, 17 years ago today my WH asked me to marry him. I actually hadn't thought about it until just now. I wonder if he even remembers????
I made my son a red velvet cake and we're having a really yummy dinner tonight. The only thing I can say is....if it weren't for that day I wouldn't have my beautiful boy!!!!!!!!!
I love that kid more than anything and I thank God every day for him.

This Sunday will be the 16th Anniversary of me asking WW to be my lifelong mate.
Funny, I meant it, she obviously didn't

TR -
So sorry for your pain, but congratulations on being able to see how God can bring blessings out of even a bad situation.
Sounds like a WONDERFUL reason to enjoy red velvet cake.
Take care -
Georgia

My WH never even acknowledeged our 15th wedding anniv. I spent a nice evening withmy son instead. It did tear me up inside that he didn't acknowledge it but one day I will have a man who will treat me like I deserve to be treated. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Tree,
If it is uncontested a D in florida can be done in a few weeks.
Since there is minor kids, you both have to take a parenting course, then you file the petition, mediation is required, and then the final hearing can be scheduled. like I said if uncontested it is relatively fast.
I am afraid of that in my case, I filed, but I only want the custody settled, then I want the D to take FOREVER
