well, i haven't blogged lately because i feel like i have NOTHING to blog about!! i have really enjoyed staying home every day with elijah! he seems to like spending all that time with me, too. :) i think i need to start working or going to school soon, though, because he's becoming a momma's boy. and we don't want that! :) actually, i really am planning on going to school this next semester at iusb for secondary education. at this point i'm thinking of becoming an english teacher. i would really like to teach in a middle school. i have to check to see if i still am eligible for my GI bill for being in the army, but a.j. looked at the requirements and i met all of them...plus it said if you were honorably discharged from the army, you can still use your benefits. well, i was, so i am pretty sure i'll get them...and that will pay for my school! yeah!
a.j. and i have been doing a lot of talking about where we want to live when he gets home from iraq. i am pretty sure that soon we're going to put our house up for sale and try to sell it when a.j. is gone this next year. we really want to move to minneapolis. we'll just get an apartment there at first while a.j. finishes school and then we'll talk about what we want to do after that. i'm excited about moving somewhere new with a.j.! it'll be like our first adventure after being married!
a.j. leaves in 3 weeks. it's so wierd. sometimes i think about it and get so sick to my stomach...sometimes i cry...then sometimes i just want it to get here so i can start counting down the days. i just can't imagine what it's going to be like to not have him here. i feel like i will just not enjoy life as much this year because a.j. isn't here. i mean...my favorite part of every day is seeing him. and the weekends are so fun because he's here with me all day! and next year the weekend will just be another day in the week, you know? i just pray that God will give me the strength to not only make it through next year, but to be an encouragement to other's during the year, too...to be able to shine for Christ and glorify Him even on the hardest days. i suppose that's everyone's prayer every day...but when i pray that it really gives me purpose..it gives this year more meaning. i don't know...it's late...i'm tired. i just wanted to update everyone! have a great week!!

I have been wondering how you have have been doing. Did you guys end up getting a dog?
It has to be hard to know that AJ will be leaving soon. It will be nice to be close to your family during that time. Is Ross's wife and son still planning on living with you?
Is there a reason you are wanting to move to Minneapolis? Is AJ's family there?
Hey! I was at MOTTS today and I thought of you and I really think you will enjoy it. I love it and I think you should check it out! It meets on Thursday at 9:00 and I will meet you if you want to go. I think you def. need to do something when AJ is gone and all the girls are so nice, I bet you would know quite a few of them! LEt me know if you are intrested!
Wow, Vikki, I didn't realize it was coming up so soon! I'll be praying for you, and want you to know that you're welcome to come over to our place ANY time! Especially when you're feeling lonely, the kids and I would love to see you and Lij! Oh, and probably Rick would, too. ;)

i was beginningto think you fell off the face of the earth. :) i'm glad you updated. i was also wondering about the dog. did it work out?
i can't believe how fast the time has gone since you first said aj was leaving. i will pray that his time away goes as quickly as his time with you did. God will provide and protect. He is your rock...remember that in the hard times. i'm always here for you and you can always drop in. we're usually in our pjs after work so as long as you don't mind that then seriously,anytime!
I loved your blog. There is a lot to think about when your life is still so full of changes. We're still trying to figure out what will happen when Steven gets out of the Army. He will go to school here for a while then hopefully get into graduate school at Notre Dame. It's a long reach but God can work miracles right?
I will be praying that these next few weeks with A.J. are wonderful and you guys are able to get lots of good quality time in before he leaves. I understand what you mean about him leaving so he can be back sooner. I think that sometimes about Steven. I sort of wish he didn't get pushed back so that he could get back sooner in a year. I know that's what I'll be thinking come November 09 but then again I want to spend every moment with him now.
I do think it's going to be harder this time because now I'm used to living with him and seeing him everyday. When he left the first time we had only been married a month so I was still pretty used to living "single" but now it's been a year that he's been here and I get lonely quicker without him. I also think that we've gotten to know each other so much better over this past year that he really has become my best friend. I love spending a day with him and I never seem to get tired of him. So I feel I'm closer to him than I was before if that makes sense. But this time will be 3 months shorter than last time so that's one good thing about it. Anyway, sorry I wrote so much. If you ever want to talk please feel free to call me. I might not be able to help you with everything but I am definitely here if you need me. My cell number is 910-987-8755. I hope it's safe to put that up here. I think it should be. I hope you enjoy all the time you have with your husband over the next few weeks Vikki!
hey! HOw are you doing? Are you holding up okay?
