I love being married&#8230;again. It&#8217;s very different from my first marriage &#8211; I&#8217;m older, wiser, better circumstances. It&#8217;s awesome! My husband is amazing!!! He&#8217;s so supportive and encouraging. It&#8217;s kind of hard to deal with sometimes, because of my staunch independence &#8211; I don&#8217;t want to appear &#8216;weak&#8217;, like I would NEED someone; I&#8217;ve done this for 3 years on my own.

It was good, learned a lot about my own parenting strategies. But also discouraging at times as I see myself slip back into my old, less productive parenting patterns.<\/p>\n<p>Found out today that <a href=\"http:\/\/dhjourney.blogspot.com\/\">Pastor Dwayne Harms <\/a>passed away. And that another friend of ours received some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wendycooper.net\/2005\/08\/its-bad-news.htm\">really bad news <\/a>on Monday.
