The Divorce Par-tay

A new trend in America is for bitter divorced women to have a party to trash their old life and to celebrate their new life.
When I heard this, I thought...well, I want a party too!
BUT, I am not bitter and I thought how cool would it be to have a party with Craig.
We wanted to invite all of the friends that got us through the rough daze!
We wanted a way to say thank you
and to celebrate how blessed we truly are.
We know that we failed at being husband and wife.
But we are successful in being friends and good parents.
So, here is our gallery that documents us making another memory together.

Thank you to everyone who shared in our day.
A big thank you to Craig and Sophia for opening their home and hearts and hosting the party:

"Hello again, it's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killing time
Trying to solve life's mysteries

How's your life, it's been a while
God it's good to see you smile....
...You wanna make a memory?" ~BON JOVI~

Way cool Jen....looks like all had a hoot....would have been great to be there...

Guest 22-May-2008 10:29
Interesting take on the event, Jen! I like your positive attitude.

Dan Chusid 22-May-2008 08:46
Too bad "Guest" didn't get on the invite list.
Would've made for a great dartboard!

Sorry that Max and I missed all the fun.
~ V ~ and a hug

Sophia 21-May-2008 15:53
We all had a blast. It was a fun time with good and loving friends. Jen and I agree... we are BLESSED to all have each other.

beverley harrison 21-May-2008 11:38
looks like everyone had a fun time....good luck to you both!

Guest 21-May-2008 03:25
Sad? How can people having fun, sharing a good time,
forgetting about bad times, and looking to the future, be sad?

Barbara Heide 20-May-2008 23:25
I'm still good friends with my son's father after long years of separation. Parents stay parents and showing mutual respect is very healthy for the kids... bravo
Appreciate your honesty! good luck!

Malcolm Smith 20-May-2008 21:09
Good luck to you both. Best way is to stay friends and not let stuff get messy. great gallery.

JW 20-May-2008 19:28
Well done both of you for being honest - which is the main thing! No reason not to have a party! Oh and Guest is either a) sad or b) has not lived life yet! Jen and Craig rock!

Jola Dziubinska 20-May-2008 19:24
Interesting idea to throw a divorce party :)
You guys are lucky to still be able to smile to each other and call yourselves friends. Congrats!

Lee Rudd 20-May-2008 19:23
you get to keep all your friends as well, without them having to "choose" sides. Great fun, and good luck to all of you

Jen Bixler 20-May-2008 18:02
Here we go... a "guest" has an opinion.
Do you see any sadness in this day? I DO NOT!
Nothing sad here.

Nicki Thurgar 20-May-2008 17:42
How cool that you are still good friends and can throw a party!
Looks like it was fun! :o)

Guest 20-May-2008 16:30
