Back to Life!

I find my last post ironic. I can't say that I loved the last 3 months, but I am loving that they are behind me, and I am where I am now.
I don't remember anything about Christmas, or the 4 family birthdays that past by--but I do know life does go on..... and next year has to be better. (right?) I know we all have our turn to be stretched to the point where we think we are going to break. This is when we experience growth. I just hope for a break between those growth spurts.

Now- I must say, I am so blown away at the kindness and inspiration of others. We had so many meals brought to us (with and without the relief society involved). Some nights two meals would show up. (from people that make me wonder "How do they have time?") My favorite was getting a random call by someone who had just made too much for their family to eat and if they could bring some over it would help them out. I have so much to learn from these people.

Next- I have to say I am married to SUPERMAN! Don't get me wrong he can pull off a pretty convincing Clark Kent, but when "Our Metropolis" is in trouble- he is super human!! He has been both Mom and Dad...cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, school spotlights, science fair projects, book reports, daily homework, practicing, & lessons, while clocking in 40 hrs a week of engineering, and his bishopric meetings. (unbelievable) Now that I'm feeling better... I see more Clark, but I don't mind-- he will always be superman to me! Honey- if you ever read this. I LOVE YOU!

It is so good to be feeling better, and I know my Mom echos that. She has made a remarkable recovery and I am so thankful to still have her in my life. Thank you everyone for your fasting and prayers on her behalf. It worked!!!!!

Here's hoping the next 3 months are more lovable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, Jana! I wish I could have been closer to add my help. Of course, my last 3 months have been pretty yucky myself (being pregnant again) and I'm not sure I would have been too helpful. I hope that you do have a much better 3 months or more! Yay for wonderful, super husbands:)

I am so glad you are feeling better! I know that feeling of experencing kindness and awed by peoples service. But I happen to know you are just as wonderful! Just giving up your husband as much as you do, inspires me. I always think when Colby leaves, that you have it worse :) No, you are farther ahead of me. It is just easier to thnk September, than the last week. LONG way to go!
