I am a private person in many ways. I am outgoing and fun but I am also fiercely private. There comes a point where I just have to be upfront about things and I guess this is the day I do it because there are too many people asking too many questions.
Things in my marriage have been particularly hard for many reasons that come from all sides. No marriage's success or failure can be blamed on one person. As anyone who has known our family has known our life has been very challenging in the last couple of years and especially in this last year.
Because of this Chris and I have mutually decided to separate for a spell. We are both hoping this is just a break. We love each other and we have no plans for a divorce at this time. There are a lot things Chris needs to figure out and while he is I need just some space. This is the hardest decision I have ever made in my life but I feel after much prayer and faith it is what is best. It has been a long time in coming. At times we thought things were getting better but I guess it wasn't meant to be. This does not reflect on Chris' character or that he is anything but a great person. Neither does it reflect on myself I realize. Sometimes these times are necessary to move forward in a positive direction in the long run.
I'm not looking for attention by this post. I decided to do this so maybe in real life my friends and our family can respect that I don't want to talk about it. In the mean time I will still keep our blog going to focus on the good things and go from there. I have a lot of hope and faith for my kids and I do believe that everything will be okay. Please understand this is something I just want to keep in my heart for now.
Thank you,
Francisca

Oh man! I feel for you I really do, because I know how tough it can be keeping a marriage together with 3 small kids. Not to mention ALL of the extra "stuff" you have had to go through in the past few years. Praying for you and your husband. Hope you can get through this!
