It's been a few months now since I have last posted, and so much has happened. Following BOLC I was able to spend a few weeks with Eric. It was a hectic two weeks and he had so much going on, but I wouldn't have traded it for the world. It was soooo important to get that time with him before we separate again. I got to help him lead worship one night for intervarsity, which was great. That is one of our favorite things to do, sing. We often comment how much we're looking forward to being back together to be able to sit on the couch and sing worship songs together. We really cherish that time. It has been so long since my last post, it is actually only 7 days before I will see him again.

After my two weeks of leave at home, I flew back to San Antonio and then drove my over-packed car the two hours north to Fort Hood. (Home sweet home) Since arriving here I have had several weeks of in-processing, orientations, and other classes to attend. I did my best at finding a house for us, and I think I have found a worthy dwelling. It was a stressful experience, and I still wonder if I should have looked around more or waited longer. I suppose once Eric gets here and stamps his approval on the place I will feel more at peace with it all.

My mom did the unthinkable and got on a plane to spend a week with me. I am so proud of her. I know it was a very difficult hurdle to overcome, and she did it. She helped me paint a few rooms and find homes for pictures. We had a great opportunity to have some mother/daughter time which I really valued. Hopefully in the future we are able to have similar experiences down the road.

On my own I have painted some of the other rooms, which took forever, and done my best to prepare the house for Eric's arrival. I am so excited for him to come. I've been in this constant "nesting" phase of preparing the house and preparing food for the first week he's here so we don't have to worry about much but settling in. So much to do!!! I'm trying to get myself motivated to take on all the things I still need to accomplish. A good start would probably be getting off the computer. Hopefully next time there won't be so much time between posts.
