Not sure - guess I could find out next weekend when I go out with my cousin
Talked to my uncle tonight. He has a GF already. My aunt has been gone two months, they were married 30 years. On one hand, he took great care of her, and I saw the love in his eyes with her. On the other - just wow. I think though, that all of this made him realize how valuable family is. He's a totally different person. I've talked to him more in the past year or so than possibly my whole life!
Peanut is doing good although we're adjusting to the summer hours. I'm trying to be a 'cool' mom but I think she can't stay up as late as she thinks :P -- even 9 seems to be too late - she gets all weepy and cry-y! EEK!
Happy Memorial Day! Drinks for everyone!

Deuteronomy 8:16 (NIV) 16 He gave you manna to eat in the desert, something your fathers had never known, to humble and to test you so that in the end it might go well with you.
This was "my" verse for so long. It's funny to me - how we assume this must mean THIS. I assumed the testing, humbling, knocking in my knee caps was all to end up with a better marriage with the X.
So.......looking at life now.......I'll post the blessings I see so far:
* Peanut and I are awesome * closer relationship with family * more friends * job is kicking it into high gear finally! * Peanut is doing great in school, listening to me, obeying, etc. * I am not angry any more. I am not really anything when it comes to the x, except sad for him right now - because of his dad.
I know there are more but I just wanted to remind myself I guess. I did assume that the verse was regarding our marriage. And I guess when you're in the thick of it, you just can't see God's plan.
