Hello everybody,

Sorry I havent been on in a while I have been working (From Home) alot the past couple of weeks. We had a house built and closed on it in Feb and the day after we closed my Husband got laid off from his job. So Ive been working alot. I left the house today I went up and down the same road over and over again with the hopes that I would be like ok this is stupid im tired of this lets go drive someplace else well No that didnt happen. But, I do feel good that I at least tried and left the house so go me lol. My Husband was a big help he kept talking to me and telling me that I could do it and that nothing was going to harm me that it just felt that way. Wow he gets it now! I think I am more proud of him than I am of myself. He gets it now. Before he use to just up and say lets go to the store as if everything was normal and we were just going to get up and leave and id just look at him like he was nuts. He is a really big help and he is giving me hope with the kind words that he is saying and the push that he is giving me. He says that I have to make a list everyday and do as much of the list as I can. Goals if you will that I want to hit for that day big or small and I think thats a great idea. I think I am going to go for another ride tonight after dinner. Im all pumped that I did it today. Hope that you all are doing well keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Crystal

Hi Crystal!! Girl, that is wonderful!! I am so so so happy for you and proud of you. It certainly does help to have an understanding significant other. My husband is great and supportive too. I'm so glad you did that girl. Hugs!
