Congratulations, Lauri! I know that's a tremendous relief! Now put that on your "Good Things" List!

That's wonderful, Lauri! I'm glad to hear it! You know, my dh and I have done a lot of struggling through the years, too. Sometimes it just seems like we have to hit bottom before things turn in the other direction. I hope everything works out well for you and your family.

Yes! I definately have alot to be thankful for. Sometimes it's so hard to see the good when times are tough. At least with Steven having a job and my family helping we don't have to move right now. I think I am going to have the money for my COBRA and house payments! The thought of losing my health insurance after everything I have been through to get my band was really upsetting me.

Hey! another "good" thing for my list- This is really cool. When I was a kid I had two sweet friends(they were sisters) that I went to church with in Midland, Texas until I graduated from high school. I haven't seen them in years. Well, when I get on the school web site a few days ago to see if there were any sub positions available, I noticed a name that looked familiar. This person had the same name as my friends younger sister. I just had to ask.....I emailed her and sure enough, she was their sister-AND-her older sister worked at the school, too!! Is that awesome or what! I have probably subbed at that school 8 or 9 times this year! It's a small world! I am so excited that I might get to see them again! I have been praying that God would bring a good Christian friend into my life-someone that I could really connect with. God is good! (also on my list) All three of them are in the area and two of them are teachers in the district that I really want to teach in!! Neat huh?! :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

Wow, from down in the dumps to dancing bananas in such a short time! I'm so glad things are working out for you. Sometimes all we need is a little perspective.

Lauri,

You have definitely had your share of struggles. We had a recent sermon about struggles that came to mind when I read your post. I am glad to hear your hubby did get a job and you won't have to move just yet. Hopefully things are on a turn around mode. Best wishes to you, Teresa

Oh, gosh, Lauri, I'm sorry you've had such a hard time. It really just sounds like you've been hammered. Here's hoping that your husband's new job is just the first of many wonderful things coming into your life.
