Well it is hard to put 4 months of life into a few paragraphs
maybe how they do in recaps of shows
Previously in v's life
v's church was attacked by satan using the guise of an upstanding man who in the end didn't get elected as an elder. He took this defeat and some of his now 'allies' and used it to harrass the church and its leadership, going so far as to write and mail (snail mail) a letter calling v's family, her brother's family and the leaders liars and slanderers. He got asked to leave the church and never return. His followers stayed for a while but then when they saw that the leaders were serious they too left.
after a december that included a 'cry for help' and some of the worst mental depression she has seen, v has rededicated her resolve to stay on her medication, to let go of legalistic binds that were causing her to almost strangle and were causing her to question her hown faith.
alex was diagnosed with severe visual processing disorders (kin to dyslexia and dyspraxia) and had to get glasses. The latter just served to make him look even cuter and become a great soccer player. He is working hard to overcome this with the help of his mom and a leaning pathologist named Dana who is friendly and kind and patient with him and his mom.
mike is workin hard, and has rededicated to his 12 step group and is finding it to be the help he needed to overcome his addiction. This has helped v learn to forgive and start to put her faith and trust back in him and their marriage. It has also helped his faith and his ability to lean on God instead of try and stand for himself.
life is going well, they are not doing great financially since mike's student loan is now being paid at the rate of ...well...more than their mortgage every month. However, again this is helping them lean on God not themselves and pushed them to tithe faithfully more than ever.
v has recently been approved for weight loss surgery (lab band, not bypass) and will be going throught that in August sometime. Till then she is just watching what she eats and is losing about 3 lbs a week on average. Her goal is to lose 200lbs! and have 3(or more) kids. Her sister moved to texas taking her 4 neices and nephews away and this has caused her to reflect even moreso on her desire for children. Mainly however her declining health and the fact she almost broke the 400lb barrier pushed her forward on this road.
Church band, soccer, work, homeschooling, impending surgery, life, love, (and an impending tatoo).
