After praying, several pro/con lists, lots of emails, and talking with Jonathan, we've decided that Ashford University is the place i'll finish my undergraduate degree. We've also decided that the best fit for me is either to study psychology or early childhood education. Either one will allow me to continue on and get licensed to teach or puruse(or pursue) a master's degree in education. Praise the Lord for this decision. It hasn't been easy but we are confident that this is the right path. I have a bad habit of analyzing absolutely everything and second guessing myself to death, but lucky for me, I have a confident husband. God knew what he was doing when he paired the two of us up. Jonathan is very secure and sure about this decision so I have the pleasure of resting in his confidence when my insecure tendencies kick in. Praise the Lord again. Teamwork is the best.
This morning, i've had my coffee and His Word. I'm about to wake the sweet baby and head on to Ft. Hood. Our mission: get Emily signed up for daycare at the gym so mommy can work out whenever she wants to. We attempted this mission on Tuesday but we failed so here we go again. A friend wants me to go to a "zumba" work out class on Saturday with her. I looked it up on youtube and oh my word...I can't move like that. She agrees that neither can she so at least we'll get a good laugh out of it! I hear that's a good workout anyways.
Leave is almost over for the military guys in J's unit and we've stuck it out here in lonely Killeen. We are proud for that. It means we get to go home two weeks earlier. We have less than two months to go! That's no time! We feel anxious, excited, scared, and relieved. We find ourselves talking alot about how it's going to feel to drive out of this town for the very last time and not have any obligation to Ft. Hood again. Wow. Jonathan has done this for over four years now...I'm just pushing five months. :) I don't have much room to complain. I will be very very happy for him on that final day.
Your prayers are much appreciated for the unsure nature of our near future. We love you.
