FINALLY!!!

On Wednesday, I drove up to the battalion rear detachment HQ and picked up a paper copy of Russell’s orders. I can finally definitively say that we ARE moving to Kentucky this fall.

Russ will be home early this summer. We will be taking a trip up to KY to find housing and then over to NC to visit family the first week or so of August. I figure we will be moving sometime in September. Pray for us that God will give us the kind of rental home we are looking for within our price range.

Pray for us also in regard to homecoming. We are both extremely excited about it! but there is some apprehension as we adjust back to eachother. Our challenges will be unique as well because we have had so little time together at all, especially as a married couple. While we’ve passed the 1 year mark as far as our marriage I know I feel like we are still “newlyweds” and still dealing with the struggles that being newly married entails. Pray for a sweet and relaxed reunion and that our love would continue to grow stronger!

It amazing to think that this deployment is almost over. It’s definitely a surreal feeling! I praise God for bringing Russ home what will end up being almost 4 months earlier than we expected when he left last July. Thank you LORD!!!
