It went well! Thank you so much for asking. He liked the place we looked at, it's a small living space and kitchen, but nice sized bedrooms and bathroom/laundry room. In other words it's perfect for the guys rooming together! Not a lot of space to clean up and still have enough space to be what it needs to be. We didn't do a lot of touring, but we did stop into the rec center so Ty could ask about a job. He works at a local gym here so I thought this would be a great place for him to find work. Cross your fingers, it seemed promising.
Big back to you my dear sista!

Overwhelmed, thankful, out from under my rock

To say the last few weeks has been difficult is an understatement. I have spent the last few weeks wrapping things at work while trying to line up temporary work while I search for what could be a permanent job or just a part-time job until I may or may not return to my church....it's really daunting to try and figure out what's gonna happen in the next few months.

Oh yeah and I have my "stuff" to deal with....I have had many meetings in the last few weeks with counselors, pastors, conference leadership and a group from church charged with my restoration process. In addition, I've been fielding calls, texts, emails from many, many people asking what's happening and offering their support.

Today after a particularly challenging (but good) counseling session, I had the opportunity to do some cleaning. I forgot how much I like cleaning....it was very therapeutic and I came home refreshed.

So now it's time to starting living again......

I am overwhelmed by the response and love received from all of you these last few weeks. It would take me weeks to respond to everyone and really words cannot properly express my appreciation and heartfelt thanks. I know what the people on Extreme Home Makeover mean when they say "words just aren't adequate". I never thought when I started my 1st PTR 3 years ago that I would be sharing my life with you, but I truly love you guys and you are part of my family. You're starting to get some street cred from my friends here because of some of the great advice you've given me....

Anyhow, thank you, thank you, thank you.....

thanks to all of you who came out of lurkerdom, lurkerville, lurker city.. i appreciate your words...

So now back to to the trip report for more of this...

do you think we look alike?

Hi Jordo!!

So glad to see you!!

 

[All7OfUs]

I don't think anyone really expects a personal thank you note. No obligations there, J.

Hope you are learning more and more your position as a Warrior child of our Heavenly Father! Know it, and stand firm in it! Do not listen to anymore lies, my friend.

I'm doing okay. Today was a good day. I'll take it.

We are headed off to sleep, but I had to give you one more hug before we went .

 

[Millie12591]

Jordy, I was so happy to see you on tonight I smiled the biggest grin ever! I miss your wonderful self and I'm glad to hear your moving forward. As Walt said.... We keep moving forward.....


The next night after you shared with us about your life I was sitting down to eat dinner with heavy and thoughtful heart and had the desire to watch Meet the Robinson's.
I don't know if you've seen this movie, but it happens to be one of our favorite movies as a family to watch. It's a little on the kooky side, lots of laughs at being who you are and filled with more heart than Texas can hold...much like our little family.
When it got to the end of the movie it played the song Little Wonders by Rob Thomas, and I heard the words and read the quote by Walt and knew I had to share it with you.
The song speaks to the past being not so good but to really think about the hours that remain and all the amazing things that happen in the small hours of our lives. That's what happens here on the DIS and when we're with our families, and when we're out doing the small things in the every day of our lives, these are our hours.
You choose to love, and spread joy in your small hours! And to me that's a miracle in spite of your darkest hours, that you won't allow the enemy to steal your "small hours," spent doing the things that you were fearfully and wonderfully created for.
Thank you Jordy for being that strong wonderfully created being, thank you for not allowing the enemy to steal away from you these small hours and thank you for being brave.

And so now....We keep moving forward.....

Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long...

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things....
Because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

~Keep Moving Forward~

Good to see you back on the boards, Jordan!!! I missed you!!! Things just aren't the same when you aren't here!

 

[tinacaplan]

GREAT to you have you back. The past few months haven't been easy in my off-line life and I can't tell you how many times your TR has made me laugh and smile and go off to my "happy place," even if for just a few moments. So, really, THANK YOU!

p.s...my avatar is a picture i took with mary poppins about five minutes after i'm pretty sure I saw you!

 

[snowwhitesmom]
