Working things out!

Wow what a month. I have to say this has been the most trying month I have ever experienced. Dave and I have grown more in this month than I think we have in our 25 years. Not only have we grown up but we have grown together. I love him so much and respect him. He has been working so hard to make sure that everything is being taken care of for us and our family. The kids are doing great. Macie has a little cold it think. It might be her teeth. Carter is doing really good. He is getting really anxious to start school. We are excited that there is such a great pre-school program that is out there. Kailey started Kindergarten on Monday and so she was only here for half a day today. Carter liked being the oldest kid in the house. He was really sad when he found out that she was at school and he wasn't able to start his school yet. Dave started school today. He was so excited. I am really looking forward to this degree. I just want Dave to be happy. Carter was even more sad when he saw that his daddy got to start school today. He has been wearing his backpack around the house all day. I believe his school starts September 14th. I am going to hate having him be gone for the morning. It will be so weird. Dave got an interview today with Melaleuca. We had kind of given up hope that they were going to call but there was a message from them when we got home last night. He went to the interview today and then he has another interview tomorrow. I am confident that he will be able to get the job. It is only 3 days a month but every little bit helps. We have been blessed so much this last month that I can not even begin to describe the feelings I have had. I really believe that even though this whole experience was extremely hard, this is what Dave and I needed to open our eyes. And I think it was the boost we needed to get Dave out of that terrible environment. Everything has just fallen into place. We kept thinking that we were going to need all this additional help financially but it turns out that we have exactly what we need. My testimony on Tithing sure has grown throughout this process. I know that without a doubt that has been a huge helping hand in the blessings that we have received. I hope that some day we will be able to look back on this experience and know that it was all worth it and we will have something to share with our kids so that they can make it through really tough times. My number one goal is to make sure that they can come to us with anything big or small and know that we will be there for them.
