Gah, I didn’t realize about you and Chris. I’m sorry to hear about that. 4 years is a long time. Luckily you have MANY years ahead of you to fill with infinite happiness:) Hey, maybe this could free up some time for you to visit California? ;)

I haven’t been around lately and I missed the news about you and Chris. I’m sorry. I know you’ll rock the single lady life though. And hey, you’re always welcome to come back to Windsor for a visit sans the “auto-palooza” of your last trip.

You’re an inspiration to me Susan. I’m so sorry about the break up. But honestly, I love (not to be harsh, or insensitive, or whatever) hearing about relationships,and broken up relationships, because I didn’t date in high school, and SO many people in my highschool either dated in high school, or dated each other soon after, and ended up marrying that person. As much as I am all for soul mates and whatnot, its encouraging to me that even a 5+ year relationship can end. You can never really know. I have high hopes that one day you’ll be happily married, but for now, its also SO encouraging to me that you can be a successful, gorgeous, independent gal with a great life. So props to you my dear. :) xoxo

I am sorry to hear what you are going through.

I understand what you may be going through. I dated the same guy for eight and a half years. When we started dating I was 16. When we broke up I was an adult.

There will definitely be a period of reacquainting yourself with YOU!!! It may be tough at first but the journey is well worth it!!!!

 hugs!

In other news – do you guys have further deets on Banff? Dates per chance?!?

I hope you’re really feeling positive and not just saying so for our sake! Breakups are the worst, but I bet you’re going to be an amaaaaaazing single lady.

I hope that you are able to be friends one day. It’s difficult when you hit a stagnant period to know whether to try to improve things or let them go.

Love the protein bars – they look so good.

woah. i just was eating my lunch and reading along and i said “woah” out loud when you made your announcment… i am going back up there to read the rest.

oh honey pie! thank you for sharing this with us and i am so sorry you are dealing with this. breakups, whether scandalous or not, are never fun. like holly said, you are so mature and have a healthy relationship with life and you sound like your head is in the right place. still, my heart goes out to you during this rough patch aka the “breakup phase”~ let me know if i can help!

ahhh i cant wait to see what you do with your hair.

and now i dont even remember what else i was going to say….

i love you.

oh yeah! that salad is amazing. love the mandarin addition.

i’m sorry about the break-up babycakes, but you seem so mature, positive and everything about it, i am so impressed. i went through the same thing too – i was in a bad relationship, but when we broke up, suddenly i grew so much, became closer with my family, started really taking care of myself and becoming more confident in who i am. sometimes those things – although tough – are so great in the long run :)

lots of love to you girl!

and show us the new do – i want to see it!

Things like this just need time. I ended a 6 year relationship when I was 25. If anything I was angry with myself for “wasting” so much of my life (prime years) on a situation that was slowly going nowhere. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. Doing the leaving is harder than being left. It was my first time as a single “adult” as well and I truly feel that I found myself for the first time. I dated, I had fun and I realized that I CAN do anything on my own. Only when I was truly happy with myself (and stronger) did I find the right man in my life. Good luck to you. You’ll be just fine. Enjoy this time!!
