[QUOTE=ivylass] How is your marriage? Did you get things sorted out? [/QUOTE] Guys… too soon. Why can’t we just welcome her back, and the subject will be answered in time. **MizGrand** , in all seriousness, welcome back. I would implore that we steer this thread in a different direction. ETA: Okay, that was a knee-jerk response. If things are going well, then a lot of us would be happy to hear about it. I just didn’t want to bring back up, well, you know. ---

[QUOTE=ivylass] How is your marriage? Did you get things sorted out? [/QUOTE] Thanks for asking. Yes, I’m totally focused on repairing (yep, repairing) my family and rebuilding trust again. Everybody in the family now knows what was going on and I paid a HUGE price in relation to the situation itself. I’m pretty much shoe-dogdoo for awhile. BUT, my husband is working hard with me to make things right again. I just have to be patient and earnest. ---

Besides, I was concerned about her situation. **MizGrand** , I’m SO happy to hear you got things straightened out. Good luck to you, and when you’re ready, I would like to hear the details. ---
