I could not have done these months apart from my husband without God and without the many, many friends who have supported and loved me every step of the way. <br /><br />Your time with your daughter and grandchildren sounds lovely. I know how precious that time can be. And I am glad to hear you did not let the argument with your husband "stew" for very long. That is something my husband and I have gotten better at with him gone because the last thing you want to do is argue when apart like that. I pray we've learned from the experience and do the same once he's home. It's an area we have struggled with in the past. Thank you so much for sharing, Debbie. Blessings. xoxoSimply Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08583157577579026991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464807136237482773.post-67912014446699045562014-09-02T19:03:59.702-05:002014-09-02T19:03:59.702-05:00My high was being with my daughter and her family....My high was being with my daughter and her family...especially my sweet Cohen and Cambrie!!

It was a great way to get the ladies talking and get prayer requests going. We could celebrate everyone's highs, and for the ones who had real lows, it allowed them to talk about it.<br /><br />My low was being in this temporary condo we are in. Our weekend was not good. The people above and beside us are VERY LOUD and sounded like a herd of elephants this weekend. My husband and I were almost in tears as it was non-stop jumping and running from 8am until after 11pm.The one next door was pounding on the wall in the middle of the night, and her dog scratches on the door continuously throughout the day. We both work at home a lot and can hear it most places in the condo. We have talked with each tenant and asked them to be quieter; it has not worked. And to top off the weekend, we got stuck in the elevator that breaks at least once a month. We had to call the fire department to get out.<br /><br />Our high - we are getting out of this temporary place...happy dance. We are heading out Thursday to look for a home. I'll be sharing more info on my website once we find a place.<br /><br />Praying for your husband's safe return, and for God to bring you joy and peace, and a God-centered marriage full of contentment and love.

High was having my son in law back from a 2 week business trip. We had a family dinner Sunday. Then yesterday they all were back for grape picking and jelly making. A fun time together..Everyone pitched in. It was fun to just set out the soup bowls for dinner. No table setting. We ate were we wanted. The little girls did line up at the dining rom table inbetween their poines to eat while listening to Princess music. Meg played with them and Amy helped with the sorting and stirring. Low point was achng back that made everything else hard on Saturday. I said to Meg I look awful dont I? Messy hair and hunched over. The aweetie asked, answer as you're my mom or the truth. Nevermind. I know. I took some Advil and laid in the heating pad with a little nap. I was better after that. We were and are blessed.

I lift praises to God for the faith and joy in your heart at the return of your husband. I cannot imagine being separated from someone I love for so long. <br /><br />My high this weekend, and there were many, was seeing my daughter, Erin, and two of my grandchildren, Zach (who will be 13 in 2 weeks!) and Katie (11). We laughed and talked and enjoyed a few hours together. My low was an argument with my husband. But we resolved it quickly (and this is a high all by itself since even after almost 38 years of marriage we often stew too long.<br /><br />Love and ((hugs))<br />DebbieDebbie Putmanhttp://debbieputman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464807136237482773.post-69831969636453948342014-09-02T06:10:35.895-05:002014-09-02T06:10:35.895-05:00That sounds like a wonderful way to spend the day ...That sounds like a wonderful way to spend the day Bev.

It was just and easy time of give and take and just reminded me why I love this man! The low would be seeing my daughter (who also has OCD) struggle terribly this weekend. As a mother, not being able to comfort your child - no matter how old they are - is always frustrating.
