Change & Challenge

Ok, I am ready to talk about it.

Adam enlisted in the Navy this past January. He has a ship date set in September. Adam choose his #2 job choice just to get in so he could take a test to get the language job he wants. We are still waiting for the other job so we can switch. We kind of felt abandoned, and set aside on the switch. Our 1st choice isn't as important to them as it is to us. Already feeling the effects of the Navy running and choosing our live style. I am not talking bad about our choice because we are very excited! We planned to do something. This was a big step and it is filled with security and stability. Enlisting was plan C, all of the other plans fell through and we kind of settled on this because he wants to please me and give me stability, give me some road to the future. We have been pumping ourselves up for this step and then... PLAN D comes along. Since plan D has booted up the Navy has been a little more persistent. Weird how that happens.

Maybe plan A & B didn't work out because Heavenly Father doesn't want us on the military path. Military is hard on the family and we really have a very different view on how we want to spend our lives together. Plan D: We are moving to MISSOURI in less than a month. Adams best friend invited him to be a partner in his new growing company. Yes, that sounds a little nuts, especially in the time we live in right now. Yes, we have prayed about it and will continue to pray about it. We truly want to follow the path that Heavenly Father wants for us. We know that these big decisions are so hard. It's the "both are good, one is better" fork in the road decision. There is a particular job right now in the business that we are hoping to get and that everything will turns out right. We have faith and a warming feeling that if we don't get IT something else will come but we'd really like it to happen sooner than later. We would love it if you could pray for this and for us.

Adam finishes school May 7th and we are going house shopping that following week. We are going to give this a try for the summer and we still have to option to ship out in September if our feelings change. Like I said we have faith and a comfortable feeling about this move. We are very excited and we need warm fuzzies sent our way for such a big change and challenge!!

I'll keep you posted. Hopefully, I will get back to my blogging self. I needed a little break! Lots on my to-do list.
