I'm sure that was a rough morning, I felt a little battered myself just reading about it, but also - totally happy for you two in receiving the blessing you needed today.

I know you'll be even more blessed just for doing that! I love this principle and really want to apply it more in my life.

What happened instead? I ended up with a full scholarship for the fall semester and my husband ended up getting an internship for the winter semester. It was totally bizarre, but it helped so much.<br /><br />I'm glad you were able to see that things work out...SOON rather than later :)Emma Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939432151416489920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217911430356033182.post-43579857536663465652011-09-22T21:46:22.131-07:002011-09-22T21:46:22.131-07:00Wow, one of those truly crazy mornings.

I'm glad you shared your story about you and your husband fighting, it happens to all of us. You're such a good wife! We all feel that way sometimes, so its nice to know we aren't alone for getting mad at our husbands for lame reason! I just adore reading your blog <br /><br />And I would LOVE to get together with you! When will you be in town next? Maybe you, me and Jackie could go out to lunch or something? I would love to see your girls!
