He made it! and so far we have, too.

Mark has made it safely to his location... Let's just say his place isn't exactly luxurious.  When he first got there, his heater was broken and well it was in the 40's that evening...yikes! The heat is working now and thats a good thing seeing as they are expecting some snow tonight. Silly Mark thought he left that all behind when he left North Dakota. I'm sure he's praying for Spring to make an early arrival this year. Lord knows he hates the snow!
Kids have been doing OK. Of course the day he left was really tough on all of them. As they get older and realize what is going on and where he is going to be, it gets a little harder for them. Some days are better than others, naturally. So one day at a time is how we get along.
I have a hard time falling asleep. I usually pay for it the next day. Hoping it gets better with time. I have some things I want to be able to get done while he is away so I am working on those things, for now.

One day at a time.
