Yeehaa!  Looks like I can!



Ok - so I managed to get an entry put in!  Fantastic! I've been using google docs which is a new program that I found and it's like using Word, but online. You can do pretty much everything that you can in a normal processing program. I do believe that you can even wrap text around the picture, which I am not going to try now because I don't have any.

Let me give you a quick run down as to what has happened in the last few months. I've managed to stick to my diet (believe it or not)  with the odd cheat here and there. I have lost 15 pounds so far. This past week, however, I went off it because I went with our 5th graders to Washington DC and there wasn't any chance to eat my diet food so I just relaxed and had a good time (felt I deserved it after being so good for 3 months!!). I will go back on early next week (after Easter!!!).  It's such a great diet because you honestly never feel hungry and the weight drops off fairly quickly (if you keep to it like you should).

Some GREAT news - GOD is SOOO good!  My H-visa was approved!  This was really a miraculous event because we applied after the cap was reached, yet God's hand was in it and it was still approved. So we don't have to go home at the end of June!  I will get my family onto the visa as soon as I can. Then we go for the Greencard, which I know will come through without any problems (there may be the odd problem here and there but nothing that can't be fixed, because I believe that God's hand will be in it again!!).

Other than that, I don't really have any other huge news. Oh, we have had our house back home fixed up and even though it isn't on the market yet, we recently heard that we may have a possible buyer for it (depending on whether or not he can sell his house). This is something that I believe will come through too - God's mighty hand is stronger than any of us and we can do nothing without Him.

Ok - I  am hoping that this entry will come through.

    I am so happy for you!! Your faith is unfailing. Congrats on the weight loss as well... I'm going to start my regimen this week with a visit to the gym near my school. I visited my mother this week in Georgia. She is well. I hope you have a wonderful week off from school. bea
