Over 6 months, I think that is a record!
I would say this is probably the longest I have gone without updating, and depending on your perspective, you may consider yourself lucky that I am sitting around waiting for a call from my LPO in this hotel. If I wasn't waiting on him, I probably wouldn't be updating this. Anyway, on to something somewhat more interesting.
We have arrived in LeMoore and are currently staying in the Navy Lodge. We are hoping to get the paperwork filed for housing tomorrow and then we should be able to decide if we will need an apartment while we wait on base housing or (if it's a short wait) we may stay here or another motel until we can move into our house. We could still use a lot of prayer regarding all of that.
God never stops teaching me patience. I was hoping to get here today and be able to quickly knock out this meeting with my LPO and then spend the evening sort of relaxing and figuring out what tomorrow might be like, but now, here I am wondering if this guy will call back and hoping to get it done before too late so that I can have at least a little time to relax.
We had an uneventful drive down here today. It took us almost exactly 6 hours from leaving Neil and Alicia's to pulling into the Navy Lodge. Thank you for your prayers for the drive, they worked. The base housing is right across the street from the Navy Lodge and it looks very nice, can't wait to find out more about it. Brenda is still feeling very sick thanks to the pregnancy, we are praying that will ease up a bit. I am feeling a lot of stress right now knowing all that we need to accomplish over the next few weeks and really unaware of how to proceed. God will help us get through it, but I need some help remembering that!
We had a great time visiting with family for the last few weeks. That was really relaxing and helped me to feel "Normal" again after 8 months away from friends and family. Anyway, this is not a very exciting post, but hopefully it's informative. Please continue to pray for us! We will try to keep y'all updated as to what is going on with us.
