The house is sold, pending the inspection today. Pretty fast, considering it was the day after the open house. But the realtor did say it would go fast, and I suppose realtors are supposed to know these kinds of things. Apparently it's a couple expecting a baby, and they'd like us to stick around. We're still wanting to move though. No news on that front.
We are doing pre-marital counselling for a couple at our church. Well, it's mostly "I" am doing it because my wife and son are busy during most of it. But I appreciate my wife's input. She read a diary entry from Dr. Dobson's mom from after her husband died. They sounded so much in love and she could barely function after he was gone. On the one hand, I don't know if I want to have a meltdown if my wife dies, but I do want to miss her and feel some sort of an emptiness like something is missing. I worry sometimes that my personality won't allow me that, or maybe it will. Hopefully I'll have another 60 or 70 years before I have to find out. The book she read from is Every Woman's Desire which I really recommend. In spite of the title, it's actually for husbands primarily, but good for wives too.

Wow - that went fast!
As for the marriage thing, I can see myself being a wreck if I ever lost my husband, but I would want to still be able to function. I've got that "Every Woman's Desire" book, and a number of other books in the series. They are fabulous. And the woman's book in that series is called "Every Woman's battle" and it also, is fabulous. http://www.shannonethridge.com/ and http://www.everymansbattle.com/ are the links. Best books I've ever read!
I'm confused - do you want to move, or don't you? If the new owners want you to stay, why wouldn't you?
