really excited
lots of good stuff going on!
- we're leaving our church and finding a new one. we don't have one in mind, but there's been a lot of hard hurtful things happening since our crisis in november. we're going to start our own family traditions, free of the bad memories staring me in the face every sunday.
- we finally opened a savings account and we have a baby emergency fund saved up that we put in it this morning. we opened it at a credit union, and i found out my credit score is better than i thought - not great - but better than i assumed it would be. and we're on track to have enough saved so that there won't be any worries while i'm off work doing my externship for school.
- i'm starting a cleanse on tuesday to prepare for a new diet. i'm actually headed off to whole foods and vitamin cottage to get everything i need to do it! i'm so excited!
life is still looking up! 
Re: really excited
I'm really happy for you Bethie! Definitely look for a new church if you're not comfortable at yours. I feel that people's judgements have no place in a church and it really sucks when people there aren't "walking the walk" in terms of being a Christian. Hope you find something great! We looked for a new church about a year and a half ago when we weren't really "feeling" ours anymore, and just LOVE our new one.
Also congrats on opening a savings account! It's a great first step and everything will add up little by little!
Good luck on your cleanse and new diet!
That's so great Bethie! I really need to start getting back into going to church I went a lot before Collin was born and then things just got out of hand and stopped going but I really want to try to get back into it. So hopefully we can start going now that C's getting older.
That's awesome about the new Diet GL!
Well said you couldn't have said it any better!

i don't really feel like we were gossiped about.. i just don't like seeing the girl. ugh. i get really angry when i see her, and i want to be able to go to church and feel peaceful and joyful and not angry... if that makes any sense.
i appreciate everyone's support in all of this! ::hugs::
bethie you sound wonderful! i'm so glad that things are moving in the right direction for you and zach!
good luck with the cleanse...let me know how it goes.
