Hello and I have missed this place!
Some might remember me and I wanted to give a quick update.
We are doing well, lots of changes in our lives ~ last fall we were given and accepted an opportunity to move out of the country for a few years for DH's job ~ we've taken it and are adjusting. We're back to homeschooling the kids while out of the country which is...crazy, haha.
While prepping for our move life was crazy...however since moving and settling in, we are back to getting our UA hours and have even upped our "date days" to 2 per week, which has been fantastic. It's been nice to be able to be 100% supportive of DH's work opportunities, which has brought us even closer. We are looking forward to being able to travel to places that have never been an option for us and experience things as a married couple ~ and even as a family ~ that have always been unattainable, until now.
I hope everyone is well and for the newbies ~ just know that MB works if you work it. We are living proof, and we are forever grateful for what this place has done for us.

MF! Welcome back - and it's good to see you back here with good news! You sound crazy-busy. It's great to hear that you're making it all work as a family, and keeping your marriage as your priority. Good for you!

MF, so good to read your update. Sounds like you and the family are doing wonderful but I'm not surprised. To others, I had the pleasure of meeting MF in real life before they left and I can attest that she's the real deal!
P.S. I am soooo jealous of your travels. Save some memories for us still back in the home country.

It's so nice to get an update from your MF. You are one of the many who helped me along my most stressful beginning, and without the people like you, I would be in a much different place. Thank you.
So happy to hear that you and your family get to experience these opportunities. Your kids will always remember these times, and they will thank you for them when they are grown.

I'm always looking for a "like" button when I see a post I like, haha. We should have one, don't you all think?

Just bumping this old thread for anyone who wonders if MB works....it does! We are doing great and have been for some time. It is not a quick-fix program and you really need to do it 100% to see results but if you are willing to put in the time and effort your marriage and your family will thank you for it.
I hope this gives some of you hope!
