Still alive?

Well it's been forever since I've been back here. Maybe just a month, but it's been a busy month. I've been traveling up to Iowa every week for counseling with Kel, then traveling back to Missouri with Kel so we can spend the weekend together. Then we head back to Iowa as a family to attend church. We pack as much family time as we can into those weekends, and especially the Sunday we have together in Iowa. Then the girls and I head back, not getting home till 10 or 11 at night.

It's exhausting, but it's time well spent. The girls and I love having Kelly around. I know it's hard to believe that in so little time he could make so many good changes. But he has .. and I'm so proud of him. He's not only let down the wall around his heart and let Christ back in, but he's pinpointed the reason things were so bad before and he's dedicated to fixing it. Counseling has been intense, especially for him. He has dived head first into it, giving it absolutely everything he has, refusing to half-ass anything.

He's listened to me, comforted me, wiped away my tears and promised to do his very best to never make me hurt like that again. We're both still working on our tempers, but let's be honest .. that will continue to be a life-long journey for us both. I'm reading Love and Respect and working on my attack dog instincts, and letting Christ strip away my bitterness.

So yeah .. I've had plenty to keep me busy. But I miss my blog. Maybe I'll find the time to get back here more often. We'll see what life brings.
