My family had another spectacular weekend! Friday night, our family (plus a couple of the kids' friends) went to a movie of the kids' choosing. On Saturday, we had lots of soccer games, activities, bday parties to attend, etc. On Saturday night, H and I went on a REAL date! We got a sitter, went to a movie (his choice this time!) and hit our favorite coffee shop and bookstore afterward. It was SO enjoyable just doing the things we used to do regularly together. He is now spending every night at home. We worked on school work with the kids yesterday afternoon and just had a great evening together before back to school for the kids and work for him today. Next weekend, we are hitting the State Fair!
My thread is now over 100 posts. Instead of starting a new thread at this time, I'm just going to go with the flow. There is still much work to be done in my situation, and if I feel like I need some guidance or just want to journal or vent, I'll start a new thread then in Piecing. But for now, taking things day by day is working very well for me.
I don't know what will ultimately happen in my marriage (no one, including people who think they have the most secure marriages, do), but I do know a few things. One, no matter what is to come, my children will always know that I did everything I could to save my marriage. I didn't give up and walk away, when certainly that would have been much easier to do MANY times. Also, I know that I can make it through some tough times and not only be "okay," but be GREAT. I've made so many crucial changes in who I am, how I treat others, speak, think, react, etc, and I've grown in my relationship with Christ. I know there is still lots of room for improvement in me, and I look forward to continuing to make my changes.
The support I have received from this board has been priceless, and I will continue checking in here to give my dear DB friends support in all of your situations. I can say this...if MY situation could be turned around, ANYONE'S can! My H and I hit rock bottom as a couple and as individuals. We are both making our way back out of the pit and to solid ground, together and on our own. If we can do it, any of you can, too.
