I am a HUGE fan of the tv show Nashville and that is a line from the song Casino. I love the music from this show so much! I have almost all of it on my Ipod! But that line really struck home especially given our situation.
There seems to be progress being made in our journey by all involved. My husband is eating different foods and having a desire for food outside of his safe foods. He is running the same but he is putting food in. Friday night we went to Sam's Club to shop, by the time we were done I was hungry so I asked him if he would share a pretzel with me. He said "I won't eat half of it or anything but I will have a little piece or 2." Cool! So I got me a pretzel.....so we ate it on the way home and he ate about half of it! I was so happy to see it! We used to enjoy those things together. Also when I get Cousin's subs with their awesome Broccoli Cheese soup he will have a couple spoonfuls and its great. He always says "sorry I am eating your food" and I always say if I didn't want to share I would tell you NO and let me tell ya I would. LOL
In regards to progress we had another family movie night with all of us and He and I sat together on the couch to watch with our kids. We have a deal that there is no electronics, books, ect to detract from our time. We watched Shrek and it was such a great sound to hear us all laugh. We are planning on watching the whole series of Shrek. We watched the Men in Black series last week! My husband and I are trying to spend more time together on the couch or in our bed at night next to one another, cuddling......so I had stopped going to church as a family because of many things but Sunday I decided I would go with for my husband and trying on my side to do something he does. I can't run and I can honestly say even if I could, I was never one who enjoyed running anymore than absolutely necessary in life. Me not going with has always been a point of contention for us and it felt good to go with him and be there as a family. Our oldest stayed home but our younger two went and it was a nice feeling. After we got home our middle daughter told me she really liked me being there.....so we will have to see............
I believe there was only one day he went straight to the gym and it was nice. He ate dinner with us and it was nice to have help with parenting and the house stuff.....
So here it is.........praying that the progress continues, starting to see the light at the end, now just hoping it doesn't burn out.
