What a pleasant surprise! Thank you so much for writing. That’s a good strategy, I use it many times too. I have been very busy too, our daughter just graduated from high school with honours and with a scholarship so she is ready for university. Unfortunately Chev couldn’t be there because his mother got a massive stroke and he is with her beside her day in and day out in the hospital. In July he has to go back to Kuwait but I am going to take over and look after mama and her house and cats for a month. He is not on the internet very much except when he is corresponding by emails. Good to hear from you and take care! :-)

He is already catholic. He just never got confirmed. He doesn’t have to go through a bunch of classes and we don’t have to go through the marriage prep. Our priest knows us well and will marry us. He originally just wanted to get confirmed and planned on it for this Easter but found out he can’t unless we get married in the church. I want to get married because we WANT to get married. Because we are happy and want to spend the rest of our lives together. Not so he can be confirmed or because we might as well since we are already together anyway. Does this make sense? He said he loves me but I don’t know what kind of love that is. A friend of mine (male) says he cherrishes his wife. They have been married for a long time. I’m sure they had some rough times but have made it through and are so happy. That is what I want. Is that too much to ask? You seem to have that with Chev.

I’m going to think about what you said and I’ll get back to you. I have to go now. Thank you for the advice. I always really appreciate it! Say hi to Chev for me!

I am so glad to see you back, we kept talking about you and your husband and prayed for the two of you. He left in January and will come back for his 3 weeks holiday in June. Our little girl can’t wait, he misses his daddy. So do I, I miss the big guy. Very much! Thank you so much for praying for his safety!
What you said about your husband is significant and believe me it is not because he wants to be confirmed. He wants to exchange his marriage woves (did I spell it correctly?)to you again because of love. You made a huge advance in your relationship to him. If he wants to become Catholic, he has to attend an almost one year class that will prepare him to get baptised into the Catholic faith. They usually do that during the third day of Easter. Then he will go through a little more studying and could get his first communion and confirmation together during mass. When he has all these three, he will be eligible to get married in a Catholic faith. Both of you will need to attend a few months of marriage prep. class before. If you have a very good priest, it won’t be a problem. The problem is if you were married before in a church. Then you would have to get an annulment from Vatican in order to get married in a Catholic church. Congratulations in your path to follow the footsteps of our Lord.
Believe me, if he wants to go through this arduous process, it is not because he is stuck with you and the kids. It is because of love. I will pray for you all!

O, hello Iam. I’m glad to hear from you. Chev. Jame and I had a wonderful Christmas with our daughter, and a most unforgettable time. Unfortunately he has to go to Kuwait to work for a year so right now I am very very sad. I am not going to be on this site so often as I was before. I hope you had a wonderful time with your husband and family. Happy New Year to you too!

Well, Brat-Iam.me, I’m glad that you had a great Christmas and hope you have a very happy 2009! It’s a whole new year, and I hope we can all make the best of it!
