I'm sorry I haven't been online for such a long time. Last Autumn, my MIL died suddenly. She was the only parent DH knew and they were friends as well as family. We were all devastated but DH had an emotional breakdown and was out of work for three whole months. All of our savings were depleted and we lost our Internet until very recently.

However, the Lord used our circumstances for the good; we cannot move back to the States for a while, but He led Gunnar to a job on the west coast, near the rest of his family. We only saw him on the weekends February through April but now instead of a barren apartment we are living in a cozy house; instead of pavement to play on, the kids have a big yard and I have garden beds. Best of all, we are all together and healing; DH found a job with so much less stress. It is a part time job that pays as much as his previous full-time job did, which leaves him lots of opportunities to do the freelance work his creative soul craves.

Thank You, Father for all who commented in the interim. Thank you, everyone; we are back.
