Happy Birthday

Today was my golden birthday! 28 years old on the 28th of October, and I was born on a Tuesday, how ironic. I had a great day, my co-workers got me a red velvet cake and a funny card. When I got home, Ryan took me and the kids to the Mellow Mushroom for Pizza. It was good!! For my present, I got the Ipod tuner for my van I wanted, which is awesome!! What a great day! Above is the picture of me and the kids at the restaurant. My hair is pulled back from work... not too bad!

Another Day

Today at work we started our pre-UT&W, which means our chiefs are deciding what will be taught for our course. I thought this would be very boring and "death by powerpoint", but it is actually very interesting. After work, Zoe and I went to her last soccer practice of the season. After soccer I felt a huge energy surge and put away mounds of clean laundry. So maybe instructing is what is draining me, or maybe it's being active at 0400 am some mornings and going nonstop till 9 pm.... I definitley felt more energy today than I have after work in a long time, and it was not artificially enhanced by an energy drink, as I have become so accustomed to.

I feel like I need to say something about yesterday, we went to church and listened to a speaker from Vicksburg, MS speak on the so called christian Word of Faith movement. It was very interesting. He spoke about that in the coming days we will see more false prophets and teachers than ever before teaching false doctorines of God that are completely untrue. He named some names of people who he feels are false, like Joel Osteen, Jesse Duplantis, Creflo Dollar and some others frequently seen on television. Ryan and I have discussed it, and I think that we need to seek God for ourselves and not through someone else.

Reminiscing

We have been so busy lately.... wow... soccer, church, singing, work, it's all a blessing, but really hard on my body. I thought this week it might be a good time to reflect on the past a little. I was thinking about where I was this time last year, and the struggles I had placed before God at that time. So in honor of last year, I will post a blog that I wrote a little more than a year ago.

August 8, 2007 - Wednesday

About 3 weeks ago, I got a phone call asking if I would move to Mississippi to be an instructor for my career field. Ryan and I talked and we decided we could do it. He immediatley, (in that following week) found a job near the base and he has taken Zoe and they are living with my uncle. That in itself was a HUGE miracle, although it requires sacrifice, because our family is now split up until my Commander approves me to leave. (apparently I am un-replacable) Anyway, I need lots of prayers to see me through this and the sale of my home, not to mention packing up the house to go to Mississippi with no place to move.....
I know that it will all work out, as we have already overcome huge challenges, such as Ryan not getting immediate reciprocity for his licence, and is only receiving substitute pay until the application is cleared through thier main district, as well as the Air Force not agreeing to let me out of Little Rock until my PRK profile is over... etc...... So please say a prayer for me and my family....
Nobody can touch us now...... I am moving to Mississippi..... I have my orders!!!!



Well, that was 1 year ago, and SO many things have happened since then...... I have fallen in love with my new job, my husband (all over again). I am eternally greatful for the life I have been given. We have been given a whole new fresh look at financial discipline, as we spent 7 months paying rent and mortgage, and it is only by the grace of God that we survived that... thank the Lord for ramen! We also have been given a second chance to make our marriage work. Praise the Lord for that! I recently said I have the best husband in the world, and I really meant it!
Praise the Lord for all the trials of the last year, and all the ones to come!
