We're Moving!!!!!

Well I'm not sure if I have told all of you Chad was supposed to go to Korea for 18 months, starting in June. Well we found out today that he's not going! In June of '03 he re-enlisted. We wanted to go to Germany. The only way for us to do that was to agree for Chad to go to Korea for 18 months. We got a pretty nice bonus with it. We prayed and prayed over this and it was not easy, but felt it was what we were supposed to do.

 

Well today we found out that he's not going to Korea! We are ALL going to Germany in July! We are all so excited! We know there's a good chance he'll be deployed to Iraq from Germany, but that's something we are prepared for, we don't particularly want it, but it's part of our life in the Army.

 

I can't believe in less than 4 months we'll be moving! We are still going to Disney World in May, so we're looking forward to that! We have the St.Baldrick's Event in April, so we're going to be very busy over the next 4 months!

Please keep us in your prayers!

God Bless

New Weight Loss Journal

There's the link.I'll have it in with the other journal links as well! :)

Moving Woe's

 

One of Chad's soldiers (the wife is a friend of mine) they're moving. They actually leave tomorrow, after housing comes through and clears them. They were supposed to clear Monday, but were no where ready. They had just got their moving truck Sunday night, were not fully packed yet, and cleaning oh my did they still need to clean. Chad was over there from about 2:30 til after 11. Then I went over there til after 2 am and helped clean.

They were able to get clearing pushed back til tomorrow (Wed) and tonight they called and they're still not done cleaning! Chad's over there right now! It's 12:16, and he has to be up in about 5 1/2 hrs for PT. He doesn't "have" to always have a lot of sleep, but seriously they knew at 5 that they were going to need help, it'd been nice if they'd called then and after dinner Chad could have went over and been home at a decent hour.

Now I'm not one to say I get things done early by any means, but seriously when you know you're moving, you start packing a few weeks ahead of time. Not everything is their fault, Paul has/had a horrible platoon leader (who was/is Chad's too). I can't say anything nice about him, so I'll just leave it at I don't like the lazy son of a gun! :)

Well I just had to vent a little. I'm all for procastination, but have to say this is rediculous! LOL

Have a good night!

Stupidity Alert!! LOL

I should have mentioned my friend Rebekah, is not stationed at the same post we are at. They're in Virginia for now and we're in Kansas. She's soon going to be closer though!! We will get to see each other in the next month or two, I'm really excited to see and her boys. Don't know if we'll get to see Donald, because he's going to be going back to school for a few weeks!

 

Thanks for all the sweet and kind comments. Sorry for my lapse of using my brain! :)

Leaving

 

My friend Rebekah, http://bekahsbutterflies.blogspot.com/, she's moving in a few days. They've lived at the base for 7 yrs now. As she was describing the excitement and even the sadness that goes along with moving, I felt my chest get heavy, and tears were welling up in my eyes before I even knew what was happening. I have taken a few moments since she signed off to figure out why I felt SO emotional. I think I know why. They are the last of friends who we're still in regular contact still at Ft.Belvoir and they're leaving. They're a connection of Jordyn. Although they've moved to a different place from where they lived at when we were stationed there.

I'm so happy for them, because they deserve a fresh new start, and being at one post for so long, is really hard. Rebekah's been my dear friend for 7 yrs now, and if anyone deserved a move they do. I'm in awe of what God's done in their life and so excited to see where he leads them to next.

As much as my heart was in my throat, as I've been writing this (I got distracted for a while! :) ) I am so happy and excited for them on this next stop in their life.

I'm amazed at how something that's happening to someone else, can bring on emotions you don't expect. It's amazing though and I'm always in awe of emotions and how God shows us the light, always when we don't expect it! :)

God Bless

Part 2 of Duke and the Great Pie War! :)

Ok well I just thought after I closed the last journal, I didn't explain what the new movie is about! So 1. here's the link! Duke and the Great Pie War

Joust Do It! Meet sweet Princess Petunia as the Veggie friends get medieval in this timeless story of love, courage, and flying pies!

When the armies of Rhubarb go to battle against the Kingdom of Scone, the Great Pie War breaks out and things get reeeally messy! Sweet Petunia, a charming young rhubarb, is forced to flee her home and live in a tree stump in a foreign land! When the Duke (Larry the Cucumber) learns of the Princess's plight, he risks his life to help her and learns that true love means thinking of others first.

This prequel to King George and the Ducky is based on the biblical tale of Ruth and Naomi. Filled with "serf" music, hurling catapults of slime and loads of silliness, Duke and the Great Pie War delivers a royal lesson in loving your family!

Includes Short Feature: Laura Carrot stars in "Baby Sitter In DeNile" -- retelling the story of Miriam and Moses.

Ok so seriously how could you NOT want to see this movie! It sounds like a classic Veggie Tales movie. Based off a bible story, with a veggie twist! Who'd have thought I would love talking and singing veggies! ROFL!!
