When it rains it POURS!!

What a week, well couple of weeks, Sam went to Everett for a job for 17 days which wasn't so bad he caught a ferry home on the weekends. He got home the day before Thanksgiving and he leaves again on Monday the 1st until the 19th, he is going to San Diego for 3 weeks which stinks because we won't be able to see him at all. Our pellet stove broke ( the main source of heat for our house) The upstairs toilet had to be removed and unplugged because it kept over flowing which wasn't cheap$$$, Our hot water heater went out 3 days ago and they have to order a special size, so we all stink;) My sister called and is divorcing her husband, so that whole thing has been sad and I haven't cried everyday for a week straight in a long time. My heart aches for my sweet sister and her 2 kids, I feel extremely sad for my brother-n-law for what he is losing, and for my ever giving parents who do so much and give so freely of their time, money and love. I am truly Blessed to have them in my life and to be so close to them. Hang in there things will look up soon. The next couple of days can only get better, right?

I seems like a lot of us are having trying times these day’s. I’m so sorry about what your family is going through, with the divorce and all, such a sad thing. I know that the rains have started up there already, don’t let them get you down, whenever you start to get really sick of the rain; just close your eyes and imagine how wonderful the rain is down here in the desert. Remember the beautiful smell of the rain down here and how it makes the desert bloom. Take that memory and let it water your heart; let it comfort you during trying times.

Oh I am sorry to hear Shannon, dang I am a terrible friend who hasn't called you in a while. I have thought of you. Since you are renters shouldn't all that home stuff be their responsibility? Sorry for your sister and her kids. Love you girl, oh and you do have amazing parents.

I'm so sorry to hear about all of that. You are right, it's pouring in your neck of the woods. I hope everything with your house gets taken care of soon. And hang in there with Sam being gone...let's hope the time goes by fast. Sorry to hear about your sis. I'm sure that's hard for your entire family. You are in my prayers Shannon.

That is very hard! Hang in there! You are a very special person and are being tried because you are so awesome! I'm sorry to hear about your sister. I'll pray for you guys. I was just wondering if you would email me your address so I can add you to my Christmas card list? Thanks!
