All's Well That Ends Well

It's been a relatively quiet weekend. An emotional one, but quiet.

We celebrated our Olivia's 8th birthday on Friday. We went to dinner at Olive Garden and then to see Seussical the Musical at the Hale Center Theater. It felt really good to laugh and play with our kids. If you're in the area, I highly recommend seeing it. Our girls have begged us to see it again. We just might have to do that.

Mark had a very busy Saturday. By the time he got home around 3:00, he was ready for bed. He laid down and napped until bedtime, then went to sleep. Today he was very emotional. While he was busy this week getting some things done, he didn't "make any money". This has got to be his greatest emotional challenge right now. A man's self worth is tied directly to his ability to provide for his family. It's humiliating for him to watch me go to work while he's here trying to keep himself busy and handle the home front. Our Bishop has counseled him to not run faster than he's able. I'm hoping this new doc will shed some light onto what we may be able to accomplish for him vocationally. I know there's a vocational rehab that works with brain injury patients, so I'm going to look into that this week. He needs to feel at least like he's trying to move forward.

All's well that ends well. We had Olivia's family party tonight and did the Hello Kitty cake. She is such a blessing to us. Family is truly the greatest blessing our Father in Heaven has given us.

Blessing of the Day: our little ones
