Travis County

You know...I just really can't believe it. I really can't believe that we are here. I honestly don't feel like this has really happened.

...Have you ever thought these things? Am I the only one who has ever felt this way? ...Surely not!

Since mid March (dog issues & head issues leading up to the horrible month of April with the work related incident) Chad & I's lives have been crAzy, I mean CRAZY. Mostly bad crazy. But you know, my God always pulls through and is there to comfort us. We're in a much better place now where hopefully I can relax and get my medical issues worked out. We're away from the border. We're away from the reminders and reality of the horrific April & May months. These are all things to praise the Lord for; AMEN! However, you must know that it hasn't been easy for us. Speaking for myself, even though the move has brought us "away", closer to my doctors, and closer to our families...I still deal with the thoughts of everything that happened & I know Chad does; he still tells me about the thoughts/dreams (nightmares) that he has, it's like we really can't escape it. As I type this, my heart hurts; we've been through alot as a couple and I thank God each day for the man that He has given me. Chad is so strong and is becoming a better man and I know a better Game Warden because of all of this. But all of the good doesn't take all of the bad away; I wish it did.

So I guess, I'm writing this to ask for more prayers. Prayers to make me stronger, prayers to continue to give me hope and faith. Prayers to somehow overcome all that happened. & while you're at it send some positive feedback up for God's goodness, His placement for us, and the strength that He has provided for us thus far.
