That's D-Day, the day on which my divorce becomes final, assuming we get all the ducks in a row during the intervening mandatory wait period. The papers are filed and the legal wheels set in motion. There's a small amount of irony here, as the 7th of December is our 15th wedding anniversary. At least I'll have a nice, easy to remember number to refer back to when people ask. :)
I find that I still feel this is a worthy cause for celebration, and that I'd like to have some sort of occasion to mark the event, though I don't know if I'm sticking to my previous format idea. For one, I don't know that David is all that attached to the idea, or feels the same desire to go party. For two, it seems that the number of friends we have that we both actually talk to pretty much get how things are between us and that they aren't required to choose sides. For three, I don't think my kids are of the same celebratory mind as I am, and I don't want to make them sad. I'd also sort of like to have a more adult celebration, now I think of it. At least somewhere that might sell alcohol for people to partake of, should they wish.
So... yeah. I have a date, roughly, I just need to figure out what the form of said get-together will be. Suggestions?
