Hey all. Thank you so much for the support. Man I appreciate friends. Wow - what a big hug I got from each of your comments. I am teared up with joy. THANK YOU.
Steve's dad is still in the hospital and will be for a few days. This is due to pain management. He has 3 broken ribs, a broken shoulder bone and a broken collar bone. WOW! But, despite the pain he's in his spirits are up. Though, please continue to keep him in your prayers as he's in pain and has stated that he's felt himself slipping into a slump. Totally normal of course, but none-the-less difficult.
Please keep Steve in your prayers too as he feels so useless. He wants to help, but there's not much he can do. There's only so much time you can spend at the hospital and only so many errands that need to be run. So, he's kinda feeling stuck.
Sorry for all my venting these last few Blogs. I was just commenting to Steve last night, as we went for a late night walk, how good we have it. We both have jobs (Steve is now working half time at the University of Manitoba in Disabilities Services). Steve is doing a practicum at the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba - like the best place to be able to do your practicum. We both will be graduating this April. My folks are coming then and then we get to go to NS/NB in May to see my oldest friend get married (WOW! How wonderfully exciting) and see other friends! Steve and I also get to go to San Jose, CA in late June to early July with my work. There we're doing a seminar for youth on Addictions. Cool, eh? Steve and I are speaking at a HUGE Conference - we'll be in the conference book and everything. And we'll be doing it together. Awesome. And just in reality, each day comes with ups and downs, but overall things that are important remain true. And these things for me are:
1. I love the Lord and I have a growing understanding of His love for me
2. Steve is healthy and he loves me
3. I am healthy and I love Steve
4. Our family, despite some broken bones, are healthy and they love us and we love them
5. I have friends that are supportive and kind and even despite the miles love on me so well and I except these gifts of their friendship as I attempt to reciprocate
So, I am one blessed woman of God - but I am still human I guess. So, I am prone to bad days but at the end of it I can confidently know that I am God's and He is mine and how blessed I am - I just may not feel it from time to time.

By the way - I can't wait for summer when it's warmer out and Steve and I can go for longer walks - last night was just a taste of what will be! Yippieee . . .
