At the Crosswalk

This morning on my drive to work I had to make a stop at the crosswalk. I didn't stop for children... I stopped for 10 Soldiers, carrying guns and all. I laughed at the thought that it's not every day that people stop at crosswalks for Soldiers with guns. I'm in a much different world now.

On a different subject...

A few minutes before noon today I got a call from my husband inviting me to lunch. It wasn't "out to lunch" though; it was lunch at his battalion with other Soldiers. We ate and then he prayed for requests they had and did a short devotional. It was a little awkward being that I was the only one that wasn't a Soldier, not to mention the only female, but I loved it. I think it's wonderful that he does this sort of thing with his Soldiers, and when I get the opportunity to see him in "action" I love it! I wish I could be there more often...

Hey Laurie!

I started my job on Monday! It's going really well. I like the people I work with and there's never a dull moment around there. I hope you are doing well.
