I just edited my website to change the word 'husband' to 'ex-husband'. After five years, it's time to move on. In which collages did I mention my ex-husband? Does this ex-husband collage series (from first date to divorce) tell me anything new? On one of our first dates, we made a dream collage. Here's mine.

In 2009, my ex-husband and I lost our jobs as the recession hit hard. With 10 percent unemployment, job hunting became the national pastime, many lost their homes, and shopping malls emptied. Through it all, we were urged to keep buying.

The dollar’s value dropped, countries went bankrupt, and riots spiked overseas. TV shows explained how to spend frugally. My ex-husband went back to school. Changing his career seemed worth the investment.

Getting divorced was tough. Learning how to love again, even tougher. My healthy sense of humor carried me thru the toughest times.
