Exciting Plans

    This post concerns my open marriage. I won't go into the details of how we arrived at this arrangement. That's a whole post in itself. This concerns the exciting news I mentioned in my introduction. In 10 days I will be dropping the kids off at the grandparents and spending 3 days on my own with my good friend and lover! This will actually be our first time spending significant time together without spouses. Needless to say I am very excited. Counting down the days.

    We will be camping in a remote area on private property. We have talked about all kinds of things we want to do to each other. It will be interesting to see what we come up with. Fucking, fire, and rum will no doubt rank among things actually accomplished. I am looking forward to some calm and quiet and someone else cooking. What housewife doesn't need a break from that! Yesterday, when I spoke with him, we discussed being excited to try the more intimate activities we haven't done. Like sleeping (actual sleep) together, cuddling next to the fire and walking through the woods holding hands. We also plan to go out to dinner together. Which again is something we haven't done.

    I was really nervous about discussing the trip with my husband. He thinks it's a great idea though. We both have so much to learn about ourselves. He has been great about it. There have definitely been some bumps in the road. Discussing things openly really helps. I have a hard time sharing my feelings sometimes but I often find that is when I need to share them most. Over the years we have learned how meet each other in the middle as far as communication styles. We communicate very differently and so there was definitely a learning curve.

    There you have it. A peak into my little world. Sometimes it gets a little wild and crazy. I have learned a lot about myself with my  friend/lover. Things that can be hard to learn with your spouse. I might go into that more when I tell you how this all started.

Introducing Myself

    I just wanted to introduce myself. You can call me Starla. Yes I am an Ex-Jehovah's Witness. In fact this is the 3rd anniversary of declaring our independence from that cult. I am many things. I am a wife, mother, lover, student, teacher, but most of all I am a person. A person trying to learn to be herself after years of repression. I am thrilled to have a new outlet to speak about my life and how it has changed. I have some exciting activities planned for the next couple of weeks. Look for more posts from me soon.
