Jan. 23, 2008 - More good news!!
There was a court hearing on our case yesterday in front of the judge. He ordered a half day of testimony on our case, a limited witness list and NO parental visitation as of yet scheduled for February. We are very pleased and encouraged by this ruling. The testimony is on February 13th, a Wednesday. We won't get a decision on that day. It may come soon after or not so soon. Either way we are ready.
The boys and I are moving through this week nicely. I am going to attend a workshop tomorrow about making your child a better writer with Kim. (smile) The boys are going to be hanging w/ their dad and brother all morning. I will enjoy the time with my friend and also learning something new. Our focus for Matthew this year has been his writing so I am hoping that this workshop will be just what we need to get us to the next level as teacher and student.
Kim and I are working on getting her driver's license. She has never had one. I have been driving since I was 15. She took her road test yesterday and I was so proud of her. She did not pass, but she did go and take it. It was the first time she had taken the test in 13 years. I wanted her to do it so she would know what to expect and break that fear of going. She did well, but just not quite enough. The instructor told her to go home, practice a little more and then come back and pass it next time. She has only been driving for about a month. It has been a long time since anyone made her do it. I was so proud of her just for going out there...... having the courage to fail and then to try again. She will be so free when she can drive herself and not have to wait or ask for a ride. I want her to know what that is like, to be able to rely on yourself, so I am pushing her. I am like that.... "pushy". (lol) She has come so far already and like I said I was proud of her for just being brave.
DH's son is staying for an extra couple of weeks, so they will be getting a TON of projects done. I am so excited to be starting off the new year with a jump start. Maybe we can rest a little easier the rest of the year.....( Man, who am I kidding?) For those of you that know us in real life, we never stop. I have big plans for our home this year, but we shall see......time and money hinder all things.

Thank you for your comment on my blog. I've never had my writing described as "chewy" before now. But what a cool description! If I ever start a new blog I will call it "Chewy Verbage." It's a neat name.
Answer your Tag honestly and don't worry about stacking up against anyone else. Each blog gives us different things. I love reading your blog because you have a fascinating story to tell. Your successes give me hope for the world in which we live.

It does sound promising. We will continue to pray. And if you ever change the name of your blog you have to pull Willow Tree in it somehow.
