Thanks, Angie - you're !

Thanks everyone for your prayers! You're , too!

I have to share with you - not only did Steve's car need a new radiator - my van need new brakes and transmission and steering work!

On top of this - which THANKS BE TO GOD my dh did all the repairs minus 1 that can wait a little - our garage door broke! My dh has been trying to fix it for the past two hours - and GOD BLESS THEM - some of our neighbors came over to help.

I'm thinking, "Hmmmm...something good MUST be comin'! Look at all these obstacles!"

Thanks again for your prayers!

to you all!

Maria,

You're so inspiring!

We're going through a similar "everything is breaking" phase here. My dh (another Steve) is also quite handy, so we're fixing things slowly, but more is breaking than we're fixing. I hadn't thought of this as a spiritual obstacle, but perhaps it is.

Your positive attitude is a big help to me.

Hooray, Maria!   Keep on truckin'!!!

We just got a new dishwasher (after three years of none) and then our dryer broke and our washing machine is going.   So I know what you mean about everything breaking..

Remember at camping when Steve and several of the other gentleman had to fix my old suburban which wouldn't start?

Congratulations!! I am sure it will be tough being without him for such long stretches but obviously God had a hand in everything.

I will keep you all in my prayers.

Blessings,
Krisann

Hey everyone!

Steve leaves this am for his month-long training. I've been up since 4:20am and didn't realize how much I'm going to miss him.

Our family is planning to go to 7:30am Mass for First Friday and then we will drop him off to go with his trainer.

Yesterday, I was so excited for him and for the great possibilities ahead. This morning, I was crying in bed as I lay next to him... Which one am I?

I really am excited for him though and wanted to thank you all for your prayers as we embark on this new adventure!
