Husband talked me down from the ledge; Counting my blessings

So yesterday sucked.  But today is better.  Husband got home yesterday and talked me down from the ledge.  He was able to switch his location and will not have to drive the extra 20 miles everyday.  THANK GOODNESS!  He is more excited about this rotation and re-assured me that it will go by fast.  May 16 is our new day to countdown to. 

We also spent some amazing time in prayer.  If you have never prayed with your spouse (yes, out loud) you should.  It is amazing to hear the words that Husband uses when he speaks to God.  I know we both pray for each other separately, but praying together is amazing!  And and cure even the most suck-y day.

We also had a "family meeting" to really prepare Little Man for mornings and late nights without Dad.  Little Man is a pretty easy going kid, but when Dad isn't there at night when he goes to bed he gets anxious.  We talked about how some nights Dad would need to spend the night with a friend in Ft Worth because he will be so tired from helping people get well that he needs to not drive so far.  He seemed a little sad, but said he understood.  We pulled out the calendar and marked down our next Family Night, and we will be looking at that when times get tough. 

My blessings to count today:
1. Husband loves me and prays for me daily
2. Little Man is so forgiving and is learning to put the needs of others above his own
3. Baby Girl is a sleeping QUEEN!  She is going 12-13 hours every night!  Thank you Jesus. 
4. I have a wonderful job that I love going to
5. I have great friends who encourage me on days when it sucks
