Hey Lori,<P>I suppose I should be e-mailing you but this computer isn't working the best today so I better stay where I'm at. Just thought I'd let you know how things are going.<P>Kids and I are fine. We got all moved in 2 weeks ago and all seem to be settling in pretty good. <P>Jeff moved in right behind us with her and her kids. It's kinda hard knowing she is living in my house but I'm dealing with it ok. <P>We talk some but not alot. She was gone for a few weeks then I was good enough for him to call ect. <P>I miss him some but not terribly these days. Nights are lonely as you may remember but they are getting better. The divorce will be final in 2 weeks. It is all happening so fast. Just 6 months ago we were on our 2nd honeymoon. Life sure changes don't it?<P>Hope things are going well with you and Robert. I'm sure they are you will be one of the lucky ones.<P> <P>Luv,<P>Jill

Hi, Sweetie! I'm sure glad I popped on for a minute today. I've been wondering about you and Robert and I were just talking about you the other day. Since I hadn't heard from you since my last e-mail, I hoped things were ok.<P>Glad to hear you and the kids are good. I always knew you would be - no matter what...but it is awfully hard on those kids, I know. Ouch! I know it must be a bit tough to know she's in your house...I guess one consolation might be that you know this is a "revolving door" sort of thing. Until he gets his brain out of storage, nothing is permanent for him. I'm glad you're not letting him drag you and those kids around on his trips to MLC land. You know I'm the greatest fan of marriage around, but, well, you know, he just plain ole p***es me off!!!<P>I can't believe it's happening so very fast. Doesn't take long, does it? Here, there's a year's separation if there are any minor children. Did you take that second job? Remember, Honey, don't stretch yourself too thin....<P>We're doing fine. Celebrated our anniversary yesterday (and today, truth be told). Who'd have thought we'd be doing this this time last year? Like you said, you never know what's gonna happen.<P>Robert went through his "stupid junk" about 4 months into recovery and, thank goodness, finally figured out what was going on with him. I think a bit of MLC is easier to manage when you actually RECOGNIZE it for what it is...sorta like us and severe PMS, I guess. I sorta thought I'd like to take him out in the woods and put us BOTH out of our misery for a little while, (Hey, I got a gun, a shovel and five acres of land, right?)but, thank heavens, that mess got taken care of.<P>Now, it's kinda weird to me. I focused on "rebuilding" and "recovering" for so long and now its more just "living", I think. Not walking on eggshells, worrying, going nuts. Not afraid to get mad (I've learned my lessons though and can do it constructively! ) I think I kinda like this.<P>Take care of yourself. I know there's something very wonderful out there waiting just for you. Keep letting me know how you're doing. I'd write more often but our life is fairly boring! I just love it!<P>Love you!<P>Lori<P>
