Many Many Thanks

Daniel will be home on Friday. I have a lot to be thankful for in his absence. First and foremost, the wonderful sisters of the Awase Military Branch. They have been wonderful. Being pregnant, sick and have three children three and under is a challenge. There were days I could not get off the couch. Luckily for me there are wonderful people who want to help. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning someone has come to my house and taken my children for 3 hours. What a rest time for me. I have a had numerous people bring over food for my children since I am not eating or cooking. Tiffni Otte has brought dinner on more than one occasion and has even stayed and feed my children and cleaned my kitchen while I laid on the couch knocked out from the medication. To all these wonderful sisters and more I say THANK YOU. I would not have been able to survive these last five weeks if it was not for you. I am thankful for my Heavenly Father and the support He has shown me. Many tears and prayers later we are finally here. He sure does work in mysterious ways. I have learned to be humble and that it is okay to ask for help. I do not have to do things by myself. I just have to be open to those around me who are willing to help me. This is very hard for me. I am grateful for my dear husband. He does so much for me. He helps around the house a lot more than I realize. Especially when I do not feel good. It will be wonderful to have him home. I am thankful for my children who keep me going. I did not realize that Daniel's deployment would have such an effect on McKadi. She cries every night for her Daddy. It has been a great teaching opportunity for her. She has learned about the power of pray and the love of extended family. With the challenges come great blessings. This I know to be true. To all of those who have helped in our time of need Thank you. I only pray that I am able to return the favor when the time comes.
