A Little More Time...

We have a little more time with Rich!! Rich found out last week that he will not be leaving until Nov. 14th. Rich has to have a flight physical because of the field he's going in to. He can't leave until he has that done. He will be going down to Fort Bragg (in Fayetteville, NC) to have that done, probably sometime this week. Once that's complete then he will be ready to go. He will still be going to Fort Sill, OK, for his Basic Training. We are still going to have the potluck for Rich at our house this Sunday, as some have already replied and we have made plans for the other weekends that he will be home. So, please come!! I know it will mean a lot to Rich to have you come and support him!

2 Showings, ADT and my In-Laws!

WHEW!!! What a day it has been today, and it's only 1/2 over!! I got a call at 9:30 this morning from the showing agency asking if someone could come look at the house!! Now, that's what I want to wake up to!!! LOL!!! She wanted to know if someone could look at the house between 10:30-11:30 and also for 1:30-2:30!!! Well, I said it was fine. I mean, if these people want to buy our house I would like to have them look at it! So, Jeremiah and I hopped in the car and drove over to my parents, who live like 10-15 mins from us. Now, I'm just waiting on the ADT guy (who is my best friends husband) to show up to update our system. Then the next showing! WHEW! It makes me tired just thinking about it!! My in-laws are coming up from Alabama, my father-in-law has the weekend off, so they decided to come up here. This will probably be their last time to see Rich before he leaves for Basic. They will probably be here just in time for supper! My Mother-in-law requested that we go to Showmars! They don't have those in Alabama (obviously! cause it's only here!), so I'm excited to go out to eat! I was hoping for a nice relaxing day, well.....as you can see.....I'm not so sure how relaxing it's going to be! But, hey, God is in control!! Thank goodness!!!!

Not only is all this going on today but Rich is at MEPS today. I've had no contact with him since last night. He had to stay in a hotel last night and get up probably before the sun did and get shuttled to MEPS. From what I understand MEPS is just a place where he gets a COMPLETE physical!! And I mean complete!! He has an eye, hearing and medical tests!! Sounds like fun, huh?! This is something that all people that have enlisted have to do before they actually ship off. This is just a test for me to see how I will do with NO CONTACT with Rich. It was hard last night because I couldn't go to sleep till after about 1:30am. I tried everything! The Lord is just preparing me for the life that is ahead. I'm so glad that I have the Lord to lean on. I know that this whole experience (being an Army wife) will only bring me closer to the Lord! This is how God is showing me to depend on Him and Him only! I will be very glad to see Rich when he comes home. Whenever that may be!!

Change of Plans

We found out last night that Rich will be leaving 2 days eariler! He will be leaving on Oct 22nd (my birthday!). He will also be going to Fort Sill (I believe) in Oaklahoma for his basic training. All the spots in Fort Benning had been filled, so they had to move Rich. Rich is getting more excited every day! Me? You ask. I'm excited because I know that this is where God wants him, but it's hard because I won't get to see him for a couple of months and I know that the road will probably get rough around here trying to run (and sell) the house, work and chase after Jeremiah. I just need to run to God when I feel down, I know that He will take care of us both, even being in two different parts of the country.
