So yesterday I asked my W if she wanted to move back home. She of course said yes! She is going to help me do some work around the house to remove some triggers.

In keeping with POJA I have to take my W to work with me when I work on weekends whenever possible. So Saturday I had to work and my client said I could bring W. She came along and helped us set-up and tear-down the stuff needed for the show. It was a benefit concert for charity that Bonnie Raitt performed in. Bonnie was talking to us before the concert and guess what happened? My W starts talking to Bonnie about hair coloring. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> Only women! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Anyway, the reason I brought this was because I told my client that I need to bring W along to jobs like this and his response was "thats great! maybe we could put her to work and pay her also."

W also started her new job today, too.

Anyway just wanted to give everyone an update. Thanks to all of you who have helped me/us get to this point!

STTSI,

Another great step for STTSI and an even greater one for his W. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> Congratulations, and best wishes for a continued recovery.

God Bless,

I don't know your whole story, but I had to say way to go on taking the step to invite her to move home. (I'd have done anything for my H to invite me to move home.) I hope things continue to go well for both of you.

STTSI, this is really fantastic. Congratulations on the success. There will be bumps in the road, and you know that, but the rewards from this will be great.

Everyone loves a success story!

STTSI, I have no doubt that the two of you will have a wonderful M and future together especially if both of you continue to apply the MB principles on a daily basis until they become second nature.

Guys-

I am SO glad to hear this...you've come SO far in such a short time...

It just goes to show that sitting down, talking it out, and working through it until you find a solution that works for both of you is the BEST way to go...

Well done.

It really is that simple, isn't it? Just sitting down, talking it over, and finding a solution where both people can be happy and loved is SO possible, it just takes two people to want to work on it. You two have figured it out!

Thank you for your support!

It really is amazing how communicating can solve problems. I look back and wonder what happened to us that got us in this position. Yes it will be a bumpy road but I know that we can get through it.

Thanks again! POJA all the way!!!!!

Hi all!!!

Ok, so I thought I would pop my head in here <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I am excited to be moving home - I think it was a HUGE step for sttsi to ask me to come home (but I am glad that he did) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> .

New job is going well! All things are looking better for me - new job, moving back in with hubby - things just keep getting better one day at a time!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

p.s. Yes, Bonnie Raitt and I talked about the colour of her hair! I think it is a GRRREAT colour <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
