Matt – I’ve got a number of links on my site you may want to consider adding to your marriage / family links. Maybe even mine. 🙂 I look forward to coming back and spending more time on your blog.
Thanks Roger…I will get around to it soon.
One more fantastic parenting link for your page, Matt.
http://www.cpyu.org – The Center for Parent/Youth Understanding
This is one of the best resources I have found yet for helping adults (parents, youth workers, or whoever) understand adolescents and their world.
And thanks for continuing to offer such a pithy blog – keeps me coming back regularly.
I will be sure to add it. With words like pithy you can come back as often as you please.
Aww, Crystalin! I must admit I’m a little sad you won’t be as close by when we need a quick coffee date, but I know that this is the right decision for you guys. An office? A pup? Yo#1u82&7;ll be so happy!!! Congrats on the move and hugs to you and Mike!
There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points about how to relationships work.
