Homeless

Since June 1 we have officially been homeless. No need to feel sorry it's actually a good thing. We are in the process of transferring from one duty station to the next. It was bittersweet to leave Ft. Bragg after almost 7 years, but definitely the right time. I look at it as the place where I finally "grew up" so to speak. We were blessed to spend a couple days with my Aunt Carol & Uncle Bobby in Virginia. They are strong believers and it was encouraging and challenging to see what they have endured over the past few years and the relationship they have with God.
We left their home on June 3, Brian's birthday and traveled to Kentucky to spend the night at my sister's house. We enjoyed a nice birthday dinner at Bob Evan's - Brian's choice and were surprised to have her give us a Wii game system. We were so excited!! It was something we had enjoyed playing at our friends homes and were going to save up to get at some point, definitely not a necessity, though. She bought him a game as well. The next day we headed on up to Ohio to visit Brian's old workplace and then head to his parent's house to settle in for a couple weeks. It is absolutely beautiful at their place- 5 acres with a large yard, creek, lots of trees to climb- all the things that help keep little boys busy and parents sane. We have enjoyed several visits with my parents as their work schedule permits.

We are looking forward to resuming our "normal" life. Having our own home again with our 'stuff' will be wonderful. This time of rest has been long needed and is deeply appreciated. It is giving us a time to reevaluate things in ourselves, our marriage, and our family and make adjustments. We know that God has something new in store for us at Ft. Polk.
