since I did some blogging.  It seems to be one of the things in my life that I have a hard time keeping track of.  My last post was bleak and discouraging and much has happened since then.  My dh stayed home for another 4.5 weeks and we finally stopped dragging our heels and resisting our situation.  I think that we are just so stubborn that we sometimes want to fight whats going on in our lives.  After our dr. visit we finally accepted that he would be home a lot longer.  We tried to make the most of our time.  We were able to spend lots of time together as a family and I was able to get some things done while he schooled.  It was pretty amazing to have my time mulitiplied.:):):)  We saw more of him than we had in months!!  I think that our family relationships were strengthened by our time together!  Yeah!

On Nov. 28th we headed to the doctor and he was released to return to work with no restrictions.  So last Wednesday he went to work and played catch-up with tests and videos, etc.  Then on Thursday he was able to put in about a half days work.  On Friday, he put in nearly a full days work.  :) It was exciting and bittersweet at the same time.  Just about the time that we were all getting comfortable with our situation, then it was time for things to change again.  I guess God is always working on "stretching" us in some way or another.  He is wanting all of us to be growing in Him and trusting in Him!!  We have definitely had some HARD times in the last 9 weeks.  God has shown himself to be so faithful in the BIG stuff as well as the small stuff!  He has met all of our needs:  spiritual, mental, physical!  He has been soo amazing!!  We have been blessed with:  prayers, physical help, food, calls and cards of encouragement, money and people's time!  It has been AMAZING to watch God meet all of our needs!  It has been sooooo neat to see so many people in the body of Christ helping us!  They have been such an example of Christ in action!  What a SPECIAL part of our family's history and heritage! 

Thank you for all of your love and prayers!
