Sixth Email...

Hey Case, I'm sorry it's been so long. I always have good intentions about keeping up with e-mail, then before I know it it's been a whole week! I have been praying for Haley, Junior and his wife, and for your first week with Carli. I am dying to know how it is going. Is she all enrolled in her new school? How is she adjusting to all the changes? How is Candess adjusting to not being the only kid? I hope your trip went well and everyone was safe. I think I have decided to set up a Facebook account. I am a little nervous about it. I am not all that technologically inclined, so I'm having Chris help me. We may do it as a family account so everyone we know can just see pics and contact us that way. Anyway, he's really busy so when we get it up and running I'll let you know. I'm most excited about being able to look at other people's accounts. I could not view your pictures without having an account of my own. Now I will.
I am officially well again. I am off all the pain meds, and other temporary stuff they had me on during recovery. I am driving all over the place now, although I am currently in the market for a new vehicle since my pick-up truck is a little hard for me to handle now. Please pray that we will find just the right deal and God will have His hand on the transaction so it goes smoothly. I am alone at the house with the boys now while Chris is at work - no more Wendy-sitters! I even did some ministry stuff for the church this week, that felt good. I am slowly getting back into housework routines - cooking, ironing, making beds, etc. Don't get me wrong, I am still very sore and tired by the end of the day, but the feeling of being normal again outweighs the pain. I am less scared about living life now. The more I do the more I feel like I can do. The depression is gone. It has been a couple of weeks now since my last good cry. All in all I feel really wonderful. God is so good. You have really helped encourage me to this point.
I told my mom and Chris all about your e-mails and about how you are coming to see me this Christmas time. They are both so amazed and happy that you are doing so well. I think Chris may ask you to give his information to Junior soon. I don't know for sure, but when I talk about you I can tell it gets him thinking about him. I think it just makes him sad that Junior is so lost. He is a little worried about going down that road again though, so it may be awhile before he's ready.
E-mail back soon and tell me all about your week with Carli. I will still be praying for you guys, and soon I'll be able to see pictures on Facebook! Ethan is waiting to use the computer, so I'd better go. He said, "Mommy, I NEED to play my PBS kids games! Please, please please?" How can I say no to that? Talk to you soon. Love you.
Wendy
