I've been there and I know its rough for both of you and its cheesy when you say, hey things WILL get better cause its a pain in the ass until then.
but
HERE is a HUG for both of you from me.

we know it'll get better, or at least i'm holding on the the proverbial "last grain of Fantasian sand"

when i think "it can't get any worse" i keep telling myself that it could be, and i know i just have to keep going because the tough times will be over at some point.

Thanks for the hugs, they work wonders you know! =)

You two are some of the greatest people I know, and I wish more than anything that this gets better--FAST. I remember how hard I had to pinch and save to get bills paid, and how scary it was to keep on going when things looked so bleak. Just remember that you have friends and we really will do anything we can to help. Just say the word, and we are there.

Thanks so much for the votes of confidence. =)

I don't mind asking for help, but It's always much, much more difficult to ask for the monetary type. I can pay for most of it, and Rob now has insurance coming out of my paycheck (it's great to know we can afford for him to get sick now!) but we still end up short on a couple of things.

we're selling off some non-essential stuff and getting some money in, and if worse comes to worse i can e-bay my wedding dress (though i don't really want to..but i know i don't really need it)

anywho.. we've made it this far and we're not in a box yet, so i'm sure we'll make it until things get better. =)

"The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem ( ... )

is that an automatic response post..?

i swear..i've seen that thing about..um.. 17 times in 3 journals now.

and i still stand by my belief that Al Swearengen is some kind of mystic prophet...except with hookers and booze.

That's good stuff. And there's some different quotes than the norm.

But they're some of my favorites, and ones that I live by. I like sharing the inspirational wealth.

You know both sides of the family will help you with anything that is needed--even money. We love both of you and we would never let it get to you living in a box.

don't worry mom.. i know. =)

/hugs

well like i said.. at least we're getting all the tough stuff out of the way, so it's all downhill once things start getting better.

love yous!
