Blessings

Well, I suppose the tone of most of my posts is busy. And, well, we are very busy. But it's a thankful busy. We are thankful for where we are, even if it's not a place we would choose. We are thankful for our situation, our work, and the life God has set up for us here in North Carolina.

Adam is so happy to be flying and working without being in training. He still has to study, and he is still required to fly graded flights, but at least now he has earned the title "Combat Capable Pilot". He is deployable, and will be, probably in February. He also has a ground job in the squadron. Each pilot has to also work in an office. Adam's office takes care of things like parties, squadron events, fundraisers, and sells t-shirts and patches. So, you know, he joined to Corps to be a party planner. Just kidding, but I like the job because then I get to help out.

I have been babysitting and taking classes. I really am enjoying both. My classes are really starting to get interesting and make me want to learn even more outside of class. I also have started an evening women's bible study with my friend Kat. We are so glad that it is working out and we have a group of ladies to meet with once a week.

Being back on the east coast, we have recently had much visiting with family. We drove up to Northern Virginia and stayed with Adam's parents. We also were there for my cousin Katie's wedding, which was great! I was so happy to see her again, and so much other family that I rarely see. The following weekend, Memorial Day, Adam's two brothers came and stayed with us. They got to see what life is like on base and the grand city of Jacksonville. Hopefully, we will soon get to visit with old friends and maybe even my brother. I haven't seen him in two years!

We are so happy to have work, have each other, and have God. We have gotten to link up with old friends and make new friends. We have a lot going on, and we like it that way. We are busy, but we are blessed!
