monday.

I'm not certain why we have to have Mondays. I guess they are inevitable, but obnoxious non the less. Maybe it's God's way of testing my peace and joy...!?!

We had a great weekend in San Antonio! Invitations are in the making.. we went a little crazy at Moon Mippy *an AMAZING invitation store in San Antonio if anyone needs one!*.. but my mom and I had fun! *the boys lasted for a little while and then went to entertain themselves at Borders bookstore* We picked out the tuxes for the groomsmen and usher! They too will be wearing PINK! We registered at Target which was completely entertaining! And we also meet with a cake decorator but no decisions were made! It doesn't seem like much in writing.. but we were BUSY on Saturday!!

Sunday we got up unnecessarily early to drive back to Abilene for the NASCAR race.. the "Superbowl of NASCAR races" as Jery put it. The Daytona 500 was on Sunday... the races at Daytona are always eventful.. but the weather didn't cooperate and the race ended about half way through.. Jr did a great job of wrecking out Kyle Bush though so we were happy!

And today is a typical Monday.. playing catch-up because I was unproductive in my studies this weekend.. three papers to write.. a 100 or so pages to read.. and Jery has the day OFF! I am making the best of it and remaining joyful in my studies!

Well I'm off to paper writing.. and dinner cooking!

weekend.

it's FRIDAY!!!

we are headed to San Antonio for the weekend to do wedding stuff!! Registering, invitations, tuxes, gifts... i'm sure there will be plenty more! I'm pretty excited.. Jery doesn't understand why he has to be present for decisions to be made! hahaha.. yes I might be slightly evil.. but he'll tag along with my mom and I and be a great sport!

and Sunday we're having another NASCAR party.. apparently this might become a tradition for our last season in the states!..I'm pretty excited about that too!!

while I'm excited for my weekend to begin there are many families who won't share in my excitement. please take a few minutes to say a prayer for all the men and women deploying this weekend, and for their families who will be left behind. we understand deployments are a part of this life, but that doesn't make them easy.

oh how I detest you.

life without sylvan.

This is my first official week being "unemployed".

We went to dinner one night, an ACU play one night, and just hung out at home the other night.. but best of all we have eaten dinner whenever we want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *for the last two years dinner has had to wait until I got off work..*

There are some things I miss.. but overall life without sylvan is wonderful!

wordless wednesday.

life.

I am so blessed and need to realize that more often.

Life doesn't always go the way we plan it, but God is in control.

In the end, the truth prevails.

undeployable/not deploying.

Jery and I were having a conversation last night on the difference between undeployable and not deploying. Clearly I was confused in believing that he would be undeployable in England. Being undeployable relates to a person, there has to be a given reason why that individual is not able to be deployed (for example: a medical reason). His new squadron simply isn't deploying......at this time. How fancy does that sound.

So I wanted everyone to be educated about the difference between one being undeployable and a squadron not deploying. And lets all say a prayer that they don't decide to start deploying. Funny how that sounds like such an easy decision that would throw my world for a loop! But I also firmly believe that God is in control of our lives and we will be just fine!
