Sorry friends! I know many of you have been waiting, worrying, and praying! Things have been crazy here the past few weeks. I'll try to give you the longer/ shorter version of a very long story. This all started back in November, not long after the deployment officially began. Commander sent me an email saying there was a problem with his orders. The problem, there was no funding for the job ...
Deployment Day #97
Today would have to be the BEST day so far. Thank you for your prayers and support. I can't wait to share the story with you. Soon. PS- Sorry for not having my phone the right way... I had to pretend I was using it. My husband has been deployed to the Middle East for 274 days. These are my real thoughts expressing my heart during his absence. I appreciate your prayers and kind words ...
Deployment Day #96
Today I woke up before 5am and still managed to be late for church. 9am is just too early for church when you have to bring seven other people with you. Cora always wants to pass the offering plate.

On Saturdays I give up and sleep until they wake me up, or I wake up on my own. Usually I wake up ...

This is what I found when I walked out of my bedroom. When I asked them why they were all sleeping in the hall they said it was because they wanted something different. Today was a good day. We didn't get everything done, but I'm getting use to it. This weekend we will be cleaning. I'm not exactly looking forward to it, but I've let the school stuff creep into almost every area of our ...
Deployment Day #93
Deployment life is like a roller coaster. As bad as one day is, the next day can be equally amazing. It's something to remember in the midst of bad days- because even though they might seem overwhelming it is good to know that a good day is just around the corner. There have been plenty of bad days so far. But we've also had lots of laughs. I started thinking today about all the benefits of a ...
