Rob is home & it is wonderful!
Today was the day we were supposed to be leaving for Italy, but as is typical with the Navy, plans have changed. Now we are leaving in a few days. I am thankful for this though because I will be able to travel with Rob & the dogs without getting separated.
A lot has happened in the last few months. Daddy is waiting on the results of 1 final MRI to be sure that there is no cancer in his brain (Dr thinks theres none), but there is definitely none in his chest. God has been so good. I quit my job at Clay Behavioral & spent a lot of time getting things ready for the move. Our house is on the market & we are hoping to do a short sale. All of our things have been moved so we spent a few days sleeping on our air mattress in our empty house. It was fun bonding time! Now we are staying with our good friends Chris & Kimberly. We were able to spend several days with friends & family in Columbus enjoying Thanksgiving/early Christmas & saying our goodbye-for-nows. We left one of our dogs, Jack, with my parents in Columbus. That was hard! but he is having so much fun spending time with grandma, running around their huge yard, & getting lots of snacks every day. We are taking Joey & Linc with us to Sig. I am nervous about the flight! but praying for peace.
Now that we are about to leave..I'm seeing things in perspective & accepting the change. I'm thanking God for his blessings & provisions. & I'm looking forward to settling in to our home in Sig & making it ours. This shore duty will be an adventure!
Right now I'm reading Faith Deployed by Jocelyn Green. Its an awesome & encouraging devotion & I recommend it for all Christian military wives! http://www.faithdeployed.com/
