A Few Updates

I know I've been gone a really long time, and I hope you forgive me. Thanks to Zion, a new reader, who left a comment on my blog and reminded me there are still people reading it out there. So I figured I better get going again.

Where do I start? I guess I could start by telling you how sick Sarah has been this past weekend. We almost went to the hospital for dehydration but instead they gave her the IV in the clinic. A 3 1/2 year old getting an IV is not fun; I'm sure some of you have had that experience before! Anyway, she is SLOWLY getting better. Not as fast as I would have hoped, but at least there is progress. I think.

The holidays were great. The best we've had in a long, long time. The kids liked what Santa brought them, and then we were lazy around the house the rest of the day. Perfect Christmas Day!

Now to update you on Brad. He is still not in seminary anywhere, and we really do not know what the Lord is doing. I'm just being honest. We have no clue if or when He will show us His will. But at least now we are open and willing to hear it.

About his addiction, he is still clean, praise the Lord! Other than a small slip-up with late-night cable TV at his mom's the other night, he is good. I mean, he still struggles with his thought life, but I think it is tremendously better than it was a long time ago. In fact, January 19th will be ONE YEAR CLEAN for Brad! Yeah! I'm so excited for him! One year may not seem like a long time, but if you have a porn addict husband, you know what an accomplishment this is. He went from looking at porn almost on a daily basis to not looking at it for a whole entire year. Was this easy? No. Did it happen quickly? No. In fact, it took years. Is he completely clear of all temptation? Of course, not. But we are going to celebrate his one-year anniversary because I am so proud of him!!!!

Now to my readers, I am considering starting another blog. A more family-friendly blog. I do not want to completely abandon this blog as I feel it serves a purpose to wives who may be hurting. However, I would like to blog more about my family, my job at the preschool, church stuff, etc., and I just do not feel comfortable doing that on a "recovering porn addict" blog, ya know?

So, I may be gone for a while while I try to get my blog up and running. And if you have any suggestions, please let me know. I'm still not an expert at blog-building. I will let you know when it is up and running, and I want all of you to check it out, promise? But remember to check back here some too, as I will post pornography recovery blogs here.

Maybe I should try to have my new blog up and running by January 19th, sort of a one-year, we're-moving-on sort of celebration. Love you guys!
