God is teaching me a lot through my animals. I have one dog and two cats. The dog will follow you around. He will sit at your feet and keep them warm. He will snuggle next to you and will stay beside you for hours if you let him. He just wants to be wherever I am. Similarly, God wants to be with us all of the time. We cannot escape Him although sometimes we think we would like that thought. When I am away from my dog, I miss Him. I wouldn't want to be out of God's sight. He wants to protect me j

Sometimes it is just hard to do things like make news posts on here, and update Facebook and Twitter status and such. I can't say there is nothing going on, but it is just hard to boil it down into a couple sentences. I am trying to get up to speed at work, but it is hard because it is a brand new career field that is pretty technical (and somewhat boring). Plus, I keep having extra things thrown at me that distract me from learning my job. I am continuing to work on this site and make it better

I recently went to the doctors for my annual exam. The doctor heard a murmur and sent me to have an echocardiogram. I was emotional during the procedure. I had never had anyone mention any issues with my heart. The reality of the situation was awakening. Life is so fragile. As I saw my heart on the computer screen and listened to it beat, I was reminded of how the heart is the root of my existence. Without it beating, I die. I now find myself all the more curious about the details of my

It seems like just a few days ago we closed on the house, but tomorrow it will have been two weeks. The house is still in mild disarray, with two bedrooms basically unusable due to the still packed, or unpacked and unorganized stuff remaining in them. The rest of the house is in mostly working order, however. I have finished my initial training and in-processing, and thus I go to my real work center for the first time tomorrow morning. It should be interesting!

DJ and I have been in Georgia now for a couple of weeks. We are living in a hotel room on the post. Things could certainly be a whole lot worse than they are. We are thankful that we are on the first floor. We do not have anyone living above us. We only have neighbors behind us and our left side. We do not have a kitchenette which has made living here for such a long time rough. DJ has helped us make certain purchases to help the room livable. However, that does not keep the feeling of apathy at

We are extremely excited to report that we are closing on our new house a week from today. We took some pictures of it during the inspection, and it came out really clean on that. The house is in really good shape and overall it is nicer than our previous house in just about every way. Also, I have spent a lot of time this past week upgrading this site once again. It is looking much more professional and has increased functionality. Of course, more is to come

That first day of moving was a cake walk compared to what we have endured since. Day 2 resulted in all of our loose stuff being packed away, which means dishes, clothes, basically everything we were not taking with us. That made making dinner that evening an adventure as items we were used to having were not available to us. Scooping out ice cream with a plastic spoon is not exactly ideal! We did get a break by getting out to my promotion ceremony, though. That was nice.

The third day

I am so happy to share that it is the last Sunday that I will be in Nebraska. As each day passes, I find it easier to be living in this cramped studio lodging. The hardest part has been not getting a good night sleep due to the fact that the cats are able to run around all night. I wish they would sleep when we did. I love them though. I have enjoyed spending more time with my animals as of late. The tiny quarters and not being away at work has allowed me to really enjoy them. It is a good thin

The latest news on our journey to Georgia is that now we are living in military temporary housing. The major catch about staying here is that we are only supposed to have two pets, but we own three. The animals must be caged up while we are gone. The cats are not used to being caged up at all. We are hoping that since we’ll put them in a cage that is mostly covered it will hide the fact that there are two of them in the cage. I am hoping the cleaning lady does not notice or she does not te

Tonight, my youngest cat, Fumble wanted to play a game of hide and seek. DJ and I have just moved into temporary housing. Bonus and Fumble were sitting on top of the fridge for the longest time. Then later in the night, I went looking for Fumble. The space we have is rather small. I was clueless as to where she could be hiding. I got to the point where I went looking for her outside. I began to cry harder. What was I going to do if I had lost her. I did not care that because of her, we are over
