This weekend we're in the process of moving off post. It's not something I wanted to do when we first moved here, but just recently we decided it might be nice so we prayed about it, and last Saturday went looking very close to post (the one thing we both agreed had to be so for us to make another move)...and, within a few hours we found a house we all loved very close to post, with a huge, new school for the twins (another reason we thought a move might be good!).
I still can't believe it!! On Monday morning we went to the housing office and asked if they could waive the 30 day notice...and, praise the Lord, they said they could! On Wednesday we got the keys to a beautiful home...and tonight we're 98% moved out and just have a little more to clean. The only glitch...the twins both woke up vomiting in the middle of the night and my husband and I have done most of the moving on our own. Surprisingly, it hasn't been bad at all though.
Our prayer tonight is that we don't get sick and have trouble finishing the moving and cleaning after church tomorrow. Due to the twins sickness, we left our couches and our bed set up so as not to disturb them and are spending one last night at our house on post. They slept or watched T.V. all day while we moved, and this evening we worked a little while on setting up the new house so they could comfortably move over there tomorrow if they're still sick.
And, at the end of the day, we're praising God for a beautiful home to live in for the remainder of our stay (because we're not moving again until the Army moves us!!!) and for how well the move has gone.

Wow, how exciting!!! Post pictures soon! :) I love looking at houses. Hope all is well and everything has calmed down. Miss talking to you.
That is great how God led you to exactly what you needed! I have just said a prayer for your family - for Gods hand of healing on all of your bodies! -love, Laurie
Kudos to you! I don't want to move again...ever! Of course, if the army does it for me, I suppose it would be alright. Was life just too boring for you after the excitement of a wedding? :-) I want to thank you again for everything you did for me when I first started this journey into the life of an army chaplains wife. Recently I have had a couple of other women email me seeking help similar to what you gave me and I count it a blessing to be able to help them in any way I can, just as you helped me. You were a wonderful example. Much love!
Thank you for your inspiring words. May God continue to bless you and your family.
