Boy has it been a crazy two months. Where do I even start in trying to update you on what has been going on in my crazy life. Sit down, buckle up and enjoy the ride......
(Sister and family) As most of you know my sister's husband left August 21st for Fort Benning, GA for 10 weeks. I am happy to say that on Tuesday October 28th around noon we will be on our way for Fort Benning to see Edward on Wednesday October 29th at family day then on Thursday October 30th he graduate from basic training. We will leave sometime on Friday October 31st leaving Edward behind. Edward will then fly out to MO on November 1st to line everything up for the BIG move for the whole family around the middle to end of November. I am happy to report that Edward has lead two men to Christ, this was his mission field. Elizabeth and the kids are just counting down the days until they get to see him. I am not saying this has been an easy road for any of us but we have made it and will make it the last 12 days.
(Parent) My daddy was out of work from the the beginning of August until October 7th. On October 7th he went for an interview and was hired right there on the spot which was a BIG blessing. My daddy loves his job finally and it come with benefits which he has never had. Two weeks ago on October 1st everyone on the second floor where my mommy works was called into a meeting and told they no longer had a job to say. They were told they had to reapply for a job and produce a resume and have it all turn in by the next Tuesday (10/7). On Wednesday (10/8) and Thursday (10/9) everyone had to go through an interview. On Friday (10/10) everyone would know if they had a job or not, well that was a bunch of junk. On Friday they were told it would be Monday (10/13), well on Monday they were told it would be Tuesday (10/14). On Tuesday they were told it would be Wednesday or Thursday. The reason everything was pushed back on just kept going was because they had already picked who was getting job and who was not and then 6 people up and retired early and they were basically screwed, so they had to got back and try again. Well today my mommy was let go. Before all the oh I am so sorry start, let me just say, WE WILL BE OK. God had everything planned out and knew my mommy was losing her job and that is why HE allowed this job for my daddy. So as of 5:00pm on Wednesday October 15th my mommy is offically a housewife.
(Me) I am doing ok considering everything that has been going on in my life right now. School is going ok, but I am ready for this semester to be over with and just pray I make A's and B's. Work is going great loving every minute of it even though it can be very stressful at time. God has been showing my A LOT lately. I have started going to a Bible Study on Thursday night with some of the girls from church. Out preschool minister left in September so I have taken on some of her roles to help the church out. Through all of this I still fit God, church, family, school, work, friends in. I have to say right now I am loving life.
