And I know the feeling of not having any idea how your family is going to live or what is going to happen. It's scary. It's why James is seriously looking into the military and I'm not stopping him. I'm so sorry that you have to be in the situation you're in. We pray for you guys every night. All of the trite sayings just don't help, but really SOMEday things will be okay. Who knows when or how much worse it will get before then, but I have faith that your trials will have an end. Until then, call me anytime you want to talk or cry about depressing things. I'll listen.

All this stress can't be good for anyone. We pray for you and John every day, several times. I'm sure God is mindful of you, but I know it's hard to remember that when you've had a hard year, and nothing seems to get any better. What else can we do to help? We love you guys and hope that better times are just around the corner. By the way, you didn't say what the miracle was???? I’m sorry too………..We worry about you so much.

It's not fair to you, telse. Seriously. I don't know what to tell you...other than, It's okay, come on back, come on back, I didn't mean to dump on you. Things'll work out! (Thumbs up.) I'm sure they somehow will, but it sure sucks for now. :( Poor, poor Ronq’s. It’s not fair to you, telse. Seriously.

I was searching the internet for info and found your post. My husband of five years is doing an intensive summer program PHD whilst teaching as a full time faculty in the school year. He is doing the coursework in the US and we live in the middle east so being apart is only really adding to the stress. If I get to speak to him on the phone for 5 mins every two days I count myself lucky! I am sure it is worth it in the long run, but I have been wondering how many marriages break from the stress a phd places upon them.

We all need to think about the good things in our lives more often. We just walked in the door from our long drive to Texas...........but what a fun trip we had, and it was so fun to see you and john and rhys. We love you so much, and we're so glad we got to come see you. Maybe one of these first days I'll copy you and do a thankful blog. Love ya, and so glad we got to be with you for a few days!!!!!

I'm sure things will work out! haha, this post just reminded me of Wayne's World. But I totally agree about focusing on our blessings instead of what we don't have. It is easy to dwell on all the things we want or don't have instead. Thanks for the reminder! Come on back, come on back, I didn’t mean to dump on you.

We just have a building laundry room and I'm dreading having to go down there all the time to do baby laundry. You have a good list of things to be thankful about. I should do this more often too. Oh, and that is a cute picture of you, John, and Rhys. Where is it? It looks like a cool place. Yeah, I agree about the washer and dryer!

My wife has been a "full time" PhD student for going on seven years and I'm broke, lonely and ready to call it quits. If anyone knows of a support group for PhD spouses, please post.
