SO FINALLY, AFTER MANY YEARS OF NOT REALLY CARING ABOUT SCHOOL, DANIEL'S FIRE GOT LIT AND HE IS NOW WORKING VERY HARD TO FINISH. HE WAS HAVING ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS ONE MATH CLASS THAT HE HAD TRIED TO TAKE A NUMBER OF TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. WELL I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT HE PASSED IT!! HE TOOK A WEEK LONG CLASS TO JUST GET IT OVER WITH AND HE GOT A "B"!! I COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF HIM! AND HE IS TAKING TWO CLASSES THIS SUMMER! LOOKS LIKE THE END IS IN SIGHT FOR SCHOOL!! (WELL TWO MORE YEARS BUT THAT ISN'T BAD!)NOT ONLY HAS HE MADE ME VERY HAPPY WITH HIS SCHOOL PROGRESS, BUT HE ALSO HAS SPENT THE PAST 4 DAYS LAYING DOWN A 350 SQUARE FOOT PACK PORCH FOR ME. AND BY HIMSELF!! WE HAVE BEEN WANTING A BACK PORCH EVER SINCE WE MOVED IN 3 YEARS AGO, BUT BC THE AREA WAS SO BIG, IT WAS GOING TO COST US AT LEAST 1000.00 DOLLARS. THERE IS NO WAY!! WELL AFTER SEARCHING ON CRAIG'S LIST FOR MONTHS I FOUND SOMEONE WHO WAS WILLING TO PART WITH THEIR BEAUTIFUL PAVERS FOR FREE!! AND IT WAS JUST OVER WHAT WE NEEDED!! WHAT A GOD THING!! SO HE HAS BEEN WORKING HARD EVERYDAY SINCE LAST FRIDAY TO GET IT PUT IN. HE STILL HAS A FEW MORE THINGS TO DO....IE... PUT DOWN SOME MORE SAND AND PAINT MY IRON FURNITURE, BUT THE PORCH IS IN!! I AM SO THANKFUL!! IT IS BEAUTIFUL!! I WILL POST A PICTURE OF IT WHEN IT IS DONE.
I DON'T THINK I TALK ABOUT HIM ENOUGH. HE DESERVES ALOT OF CREDIT FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THAT HE DOES. LIKE WAKING UP AT 6AM SO THAT HE CAN GO TO SCHOOL WHEN NOT ONLY DOES HE HATE SCHOOL, BUT HE IS NOT A MORNING PERSON! THEN HE GOES TO WORK UNTIL 7:00PM. THEN HE COMES HOME AND SPENDS AS MUCH TIME WITH ME AND THE KIDS AS HE CAN BEFORE HE HAS TO START HOMEWORK. AND THE PAST TWO NIGHTS HE HAS BEEN FITTING IN WORKING OUTSIDE ON THE PORCH! MY HUSBAND PUTS UP WITH ALOT FROM ME, AND I DON'T EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR HIM. WE HAVE NOT BEEN MARRIED FOR VERY LONG (5 YEARS) BUT WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH MORE THAN MOST COUPLES EVER WILL. WE ARE HANGING IN THERE AND WORKING HARD TO CREATE A CHRISTIAN, LOVING HOME FOR OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDREN. I'M SO GLAD THAT HE IS BUILDING HIS LIFE WITH ME. I KNOW THAT WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO, BUT FOR NOW I AM JUST VERY THANKFUL FOR MY HUSBAND.
