Thank you, WIlliam!<P>Blessings on all my pals here...<P>Our day is going great so far, except I just about died trying to keep up with my boys and h. on the biking trail--my legs feel like jello... ..but the family time was incredibly special...<P>h. said last night he thinks we're going to make it! Lots of hugs and kisses for the past two days -- after I said "I'm tired of doing all the hard work..it's your turn to be nice to me!" Not a LB, just the facts.<P>prayer and patience....it has been one year since he said "This is not a marriage, I am unhappy". Now he says "I think we can be happy together." <P>MB love bank stuff is sooooo true...I wish I had known it 16 years ago so we could have started out on the right foot.<P>The rice is done, gotta go.<P>Liz\Pearl<P>P.S. I have a new pearl and diamond ring!<P>Yippee...it is sort of a 2nd time around I plan to remarry you ring, which is probably weird to some since we never divorced, but we agree that the old marriage sucked big time, so a new one is in order!<P>------------------<BR><BR>"I have found the Pearl of Great Price"<BR>

Bill,<P>Thanks for this beautiful prayer! Very fitting for today too, especially as I have been struggling all day. God does hear and answer our prayers, too. There will be something better around the corner, and I CAN'T WAIT because this side of the building is UGLY!!!<P>Desiree<P>------------------<BR>"Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort."<P>Sir Humphry Davy<BR>
