Week 8..Check, Week 9...here we go!

Week 8....check!  Week 9.....here we go.  2 months behind us...only 4 to go.  At the end of this week we are 1/3 of the way done!  whoo hoo :)  I didn't post last week because it was a pretty crazy week.  I potty trained L.  It started off really really good and is still going good but not great.  Last thurs we only had one partial accident, friday NO accidents and then sat we had two and yesterday one.  So he is still doing good, just not great!  So I'm hoping today we will be back to NO accidents.  :)  Wishful thinking?  probably, but we will see.  So with all of that going on I didn't find the energy to write. 

So it's October! This is mine and Josh's month! 8 years ago today was the first day that he bought me flowers asking if we could just be "friends" hahaha.....13 days later we had our first kiss and he asked me to be his "girlfriend" :) 1 yr and 8 days later we said our vows and I became his wife! :) Love October! Best month ever! 

I still have been able to talk to Josh on the phone every night which is a huge blessing.  I love hearing about his days.  We had a very busy but great weekend.  I am so thankful he was here.  Sat was was my moms birthday.  She would have turned 50!  The big 50.  It's crazy to think how different that day would have been if she was still alive.  I'm sure I would have thrown a huge party!  I know I would have thrown a huge party!  :)  I did great most of the day.  Lost it a little in the morning but was comforted by Josh.  So glad he was there to hold me.  I'm not sure if it will ever get easier like they say it will.  Its still hard and it still sucks.  I miss her.  I tried so hard to be strong because I didn't want to add stress to Josh but didn't quit make it.  It helped having friends over sat night just to get my emotions under control.  Josh has always been the one to get me through these tough times so I'm not sure how I'm going to do without him.  Trying not to think about it too much. 

This week is a big week for him.  He started EVOC (driving) today.  YAY!  Very exciting for him.   I know he is going to do great and I cant wait to hear all about it tonight.  Keep him in your prayers this week please.  A lot going on.  :)  Sunday nights are still really hard but getting better.  We had a very eventful night last night.  When we drove Josh to our pick-up/drop-off place to head back to the academy a truck driver approached us and asked if we lived around here and if we knew anyone who owned a tractor to help him......his truck was high centered STUCK in the dirt!  Ummmmmm...........ok what do we do?  We didn't have a chain with us and I really doubt if we did we could do anything.  Joshs ride was about 10-15 min behind so we sat there watching this guy completely hopeless.  He knew nobody around here......he was stuck!  You could just see in his eyes that his whole world was ending.  I looked at Josh and said I don't know how but we have to help this guy.  Josh felt the same way.  We called a friend who came out with his truck, a chain, a shovel, and some wood and less than an hour later the truck driver was on his way back on the road!  God is good!  Grant you Rock!  Josh wasn't able to stay and watch/help because his ride showed up and on the road back to the academy they went but S insisted that we stay and watch so we did.  The driver later told Grant (our friend who came to the rescue) that if he had to call a tow truck out to help him he would have lost his job!  No wonder he looked like his world was going to end!  I am so thankful we were able to lend a helping hand and so thankful for amazing friends who are willing to drop everything to come help a total stranger! 

With Love,
