• Update:

  • Ben’s home.
  • We’re moving.
  • For real.
  • We’re in the process of buying this house.
  •  
  • It was previously a convent.
  • Sebastian’s in 1st grade.
  • Xander’s taught himself to read CVC words.
  • I’ve got 2.5 weeks to get my house ready for the movers.
  • Ben’s got 2.5 weeks to get in shape (again) so he can meet army standards when he signs in at the new base.
  • Or he doesn’t get to go to UAV school.
  • And all of this was for nothing.
  • I’m trying not to panic.
  • Daily.
  • I voted for McCain.
  • I wanted to vote for Ron Paul.
  • The economy sucks.
  • I’m trying to avoid going into debt.
  • I’m praising God that I felt it laid upon my heart to following the advice of Dave Ramsey.
  • Last year.
  • We’re still taking baby steps, but at least we’re not incurring any more debt than our new mortgage and all our other debt is paid off and we have a (meager) savings to rely upon for the expenses involved.
  • That’s huge.
  • I feel that we’re following God’s lead.
  • And yet I feel so far away from Him.
  • I’m trying to get back.
  • It’s hard.
  • I had checked out of my life when Ben came home, and checking back in hasn’t proved to be easy.
  • This is part of that process.
