adjustments

Things are starting to "settle down" for lack of a better word. The kids and I are adjusting to our new life in our new home and we are moving on. Moving on can be quite hard but I am trying to be strong. Our untimely separation coupled with Kerry's untimely death have been a lot to deal with. I worry about my family and all the wonderful loving people Kerry left behind. I worry that Adrienne and Cody will not have an awesome relationship with their dad. I worry that I will never have anyone to care about me/love me again and I worry that if I do find someone I will not be able to trust that person because of the infidelity ripping our lives apart now.

I have decided to give all my worrying to God though. I got a call from a woman in the church Monday night that was very encouraging. My cousin Kate sent me a wonderful card. My online friends are very supportive. My mom calls just about every day and my aunts are sure to remind me often how much they love me. All of your prayers and concern have touched my heart and helped me to find my strength again.

I have decided to go back to school to finish my teaching degree although I do not have it all planned out yet. I applied to St. Cloud State University yesterday. I know Kerry would be proud of that decision.

We are still getting unpacked but our really feeling at home in our new townhouse. Cody really likes it and Adrienne does great on the stairs. Here are some pics of our new home

Saying goodbye

Kerry passed away on Sunday, August 17. The kids and I flew down to St. Louis on the 22nd for her funeral. Kerry was such an incredible young wife and mother and it is a very sad time. She was burried next to her daughter Taylor. Please keep my brother Shawn and their boys Trent and Travis in your prayers.

Kerry

In case you haven't heard, my sister-in-law Kerry has been in the hospital in ICU. God has worked a wonderful miracle in her! She will be going home today after being on a respirator for nearly a week! Please check out her caringbridge site
