Can I just say how awesome it is to read a blog written by someone who loves her husband so deeply? I love to read about women loving on their hubbies.

The depth of meaning and feeling rings loud and clear in all your posts.

You always need to do what is best and right for your family. Your #1 choice was your family…that always speaks for itself.

I understand. I got burned by friends, and am now really freaked out to make new ones. But our family is an island that I love.

You are so well-spoken about your love for Bill. I get tears in my eyes each time I read about it. After a scare like yours, I’d do anything and everything.

Love that song.

I can’t say I know where you (and your family) are at right now, but I know there are times when I just need to get away from everyone else temporarily.

Well I know that in a great marriage that is what it is all about, sacrafice. It only matters to you and your husband and kids. If people don’t get it thats ok. You can be on an island just include others in it there, you can have it all, just reach for it.
When I come in April Iam looking you up and we will definately do lunch!

Dang I’m sorry some are giving you a hard time. And actually *mad at you* for following your bliss!? I followed my husband’s dream of chucking it all and I LOVE the change it produced in me. We all changed, for the better, so much so that I’d hate to think of who’d we be today if we had stayed in the Phx suburbs. shutter. We learn and grow from change, they could probably benefit form a little change themselves. Hope today’s a brighter day! {{{{Jody}}}

Peace, Vicki

jody says: Hi Vicki. See, my words are so vague. No one is giving us a hard time. A few are just plain ignoring us, and that makes me feel bad. I just was having a whiney baby morning. And like you, I am so grateful for following our dreams..

Sorry some are giving you a hard time. Ya’ gotta do, etc. ((Hugs))

Jody: Oh no. No one is giving us a hard time. I know there are a few who are still bewildered and hurt, but no one is giving us a hard time. Many of my friends back home have been simply wonderful, and I truly should focus on that because I am so grateful…..but some have pretty much ignored us and when I am in a melancholy mood like this morning, it brings me down.

So beautiful and I get it. But perhaps, some time, could us little rowboats come and dock at the island for a bit?

Jody: Come aboard!

Fantastic photo. Well written words. And yet, at some point don’t you think you’ll want to let someone else in? I was an island for far too long and it’s lonely – even with a close family.

Jody says: You are correct young lady! In fact, I am going to a little luncheon with a new friend I made here. She is awesome, and I am looking forward to it.
