Many words would express or describe the way I'm feeling right now. If I started listing them I would run out of room. A good word to sum up all of my feelings would be amazed. After the day I had yesterday, I figured today could only get better...and boy did it ever! A good friend of mine decided to come over and help me get things started on cleaning. I will be the first to admit that I let my house get way out of control since Ellis left for the Army. I'm sure all of us had the feeling of being overwhelmed by something...take that and multiply it by 10 and ya got me! :) Thank you to Heather for helping me out today, I really appreciate your willingness to pick up my laundry, wash my dishes and for your friendship.
I think the only thing that could make my day better was if I had a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger from Wedny's. (thanks Brenna for the reminder)
On a side note...I had to run to the grocery store to get milk this evening. When I came out of the store I noticed that the Honda parked next to me had all sorts of gadgets inside...I couldn't help but sneak a peak. First off, it had a fan hooked on to the dash board with some sort of mount. As I was contemplating the purpose of having an extra fan hooked to the db, I look over and I see an extra cup holder attached to the driver's door. What the heck? I guess the person who drives this car enjoys having 4 drinks at one time with a little burst of extra air. You know, because who doesn't want extra air blowing on you after having 4 a/c vents blowing on you. Anyway, I just thought it was funny that a new Honda would have all these different gadgets and add ons and I thought I would share with you. :)
Alright, I'm going to bed now that it's WAY past my bedtime. Thank you to Natalie who watched Eli all day so I could clean...he came home bathed, fed, and ready for bed! The perfect ending to a great day!
Good night friends!

What a day
Today was one of those days...you know you've had them, we all have. The kind of day you want to rewind, or crawl under a rock, and or just start all over. (maybe all three together?) My emotions got the best of me and Satan just reached right in there, took them, and threw them back at me. I let him get to me...
For those of you who don't know, Ellis and I have been transfered to Ft. Hood, Texas. We are trying to figure out what God wants us to do...and it's hard! Have you ever tried figuring out what God wants and then end up blank? It happens to me all the time and I think thats the point. Faith. He wants us to just trust him no matter what. I have such a hard time remembering that he will ALWAYS take care of me. I also have a hard time realizing that I really dont have control over my life...or anything for that matter. A very close friend of mine reminded me that my dad would do anything to help us out, I mean ANYTHING...so why wouldn't God do that for me too? I mean, he did send his son to die for me...that's what it's all about. It's not about whether we have TV or have the internet or whatever other earthly possession. It's about the fact that a God who can create anything in this universe and more would choose to send his only son to die for me and save me from myself! He cares for me more than anything that he has made, and I love that. I love that I have a heavenly father who would do anything for me. I know that he is going to take care of us. I know that he is going to provide us either a renter and or a buyer for our house. His word promises me that he will take care of me. I am more important to him than the lilies or the birds of the air. I know that he will provide a place for us wherever he wants us. If he wants us to stay in Norfolk while Ellis goes to Texas that is what will happen. If he wants us to go to Texas then he will send us someone that is willing to meet our financial needs.
After writing all of that, I realize that I wouldn't rewind this day at all. I've learned an amazing thing, and that is, even though Satan may have won a few battles today...Christ has won this war.
Eli happened to have a breakdown of his own. :) But his is related to teefers. Thats right, he is cutting his 6th and 7th teeth! My heart melts every time I see his toothy grin. Let's pray they come in soon and they dont cause too much pain.
I know I dont have many readers yet, but for those of you who do read this, please pray that God will make clear to us where he wants us. And of course, pray for strength. Thank you!

Here it is!
So I had the great idea to start a blog about our life in the military and whatever else comes to my mind, but all of a sudden...oh yeah, I have nothing coming to mind! :)
I guess my first order of business would be to thank my friend Megan for helping me design my blog. "Helping" meaning she designed the whole after I told her I wanted something Red, White, and Blue. :) So, thank you Megan for all of your help.
My second order of business would be to write. I'll let you know that my life isn't too interesting, I'm not the best writer, but I think a blog is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family and its great therapy!
Let me tell you a little about my family. My husband is in the Army. (you probably caught that when you read the title of my blog) We have been married for a little over 4 years and have one beautiful baby boy who is one of the many joys in our life. He is a handful at times but we wouldn't trade him for the world. We live in Virginia as of now, but everyone knows that when you are in the military, where you live is subject to change! We are praying that God shows us the way he wants us to go and that he will provide! Until next time blogger friends! Take care and God bless you!
