May 19 - So, What's Up?

I have been waiting a few days, fiddling with creating artsy banners (which I need professional help with!) or at least trying to capture a flattering picture of myself (also tricky by myself). I distract myself with these trivialities waiting for "my first big post" to create itself in my head. However, at this rate, it's never going to happen, and I've lost patience with myself. There's no way to write one little update to describe everything that's gone on in the last 3 months.


So I will start small. Or rather, I will start with the most life-changing, faith-wrenching, and challenging detail. In March, Scott (at left) decided to move to Washington state to manage his brother's dental practice. (I was going to hyperlink to the website, but it doesn't really go anywhere.) He left with 2 weeks warning, no childcare arrangements and no guarantees. Oh, and he also decided he doesn't feel like we have any reason, besides the kids, to be married anymore.



We've spent the last three months exploring how really expansive this relational chasm has become. My whole world is upside down. However, I am blessed with the best childcare option possible. God gifted my children and me with Geneva, who comes to the house 3 days a week when I work. She's a cool Grams, brings her funny pug, and loves the kids through all their adjustments.


I'm still in the physical reconstruction process as well, but I'll save that for another day.
