Well, you've heard me talk about a big change that might be coming up this year for us. We have been talking and praying and researching for weeks now and we've finally made a decision.
Some of you might already know because we've been making phone calls for advice and references. So, it's probably time to let everyone in on what's going on.
Larry has decided to join the Air Force.
We have had the decision made for a little while now, but I guess I just wasn't ready to come to terms with it before. I NEVER thought I'd be ok with him going into the military. But, as we've prayed and considered the decision, I've been blessed with so much peace and I know this is the right choice and the best thing for us to do right now.
So, we are still in California and working with a recruiter here to get Larry into the Air Force. I know that Larry is passionate about this and he is excited about the possible career options that this will open up for him. We are anxious to have the process done so that we can have some time together before he leaves for basic training, so we are struggling to be patient, but we know all of the frustrations we have had the last few weeks will be worth it. I am so proud of Larry, he did very well on his ASVAB (the test to determine what careers he'd potentially qualify for), well enough that he could honestly do whatever he chose to do in the Air Force. I married a pretty dang smart guy!
I'm not looking forward to having him be gone. We've been together every single day since the day we met and I had hoped to have that continue, but my plans are never quite the Lord's plans! But we have been blessed in this process and I have no doubt that, as we continue on this road we will continue to be greatly blessed.
Anyway, that's really just about it for what I have for you this week. We're still kinda under the weather so we haven't had any exciting adventures this week, but hopefully next week!!
Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated, or if you have any questions or comments they would also be welcomed! We love you all and I hope you are doing very well!

Yes! Larry is a genius! He will do well at anything he puts his mind too! We will be praying for the process to work out quickly and smoothly! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI am an Army Brat myself. I LOVED traveling with the military growing up. I experienced more than most of my friends. Had the chance to live in a foreign country and many states. I think it is a wonderful decision! Even though I am an Army brat, if I went into the service I would go into the Air Force. They always had better benefits, better housing, etc. It will be hard for you when he is away but you will need to rely on family and friends during that time. My dad was gone a lot. Maybe he will be stationed in Florida and you can be near Jen!
