Out for a while

[Carmen]

Will be going on vacation to see my parents. That will get me away from the anxiety of seeing that pastor I don't want to encounter. It will give me a breather too. Am going to Florida. We will see disney, just for the kids of course, yeah, right. And we will see Nasa, there might be a shuttle launch between the 13th and the 31st of July so we are hoping to see it. There are also gators and manatees and of course the beach.

I will be able to talk to my parent's pastor who knows about the incident with the other one here, he is of the same denomination. Maybe he can help somehow. My parents said that he is totally different than the other one I met and disagreed with what happened to me. I sure hope so.

I get along great with my parents as long as we don't talk about politics, so if we avoid that it will be restful. Their dog died just a few weeks ago (I had wanted to see her again too), but they will get a puppy while we are there, so that will be fun for the kids and me too, I love puppies.

Hubby will stay here, has to work. I love him still, but we don't always get along for religious reasons. I have to hear derogatory remarks about my faith sometimes, especially if I spend my free time working on the website or reading the bible or some other related book, which I almost always do. It rubs on your nerves after a while. I seldom explode, but if I do it is because of that. To be frank, he did not support me after that incident six months ago. He said it was my fault for associating with such people. That made it more difficult for me to even begin to recover. He does not understand the situation at all. A break from each other might not be bad.

My parents approve of what I do and encourage me, even though they live far away. After that trip, we may go to Germany to visit family there, so it may be towards the end of August before I can post regularly again. I'll try to stop by between trips if I can. Even though I have not been here long I will miss you.
