God's Amazing...did you know that?

Jeff and I have just come off of a lovely 4 day weekend. We spent it with friends, family, and of course ourselves. It was beautiful weather and we managed to finally give our new bikes a try. With Jeff's busy schedule during the week we relish any extra time we have together. GoD has done some amazing things in our lives this year, already. He is making some big changes that we're both excited about. It is going to be a great year and we are blessed to have made some wonderful friends here at Fort Benning who will be with us through out it all. I'm blown away by GoD's grace and daily I am in awe of how my life is turning out. He has provided Jeff and I with more than we could have imagined. The fact that we are secure enough that I don't have to work but can focus on volunteering and getting involved in his unit as a spouse is incredible to me. Since we only have one car we struggled with finding a job close enough and flexible enough that we could function with one car. Unfortunately we couldn't find a job like that. If I could work from home that would be fabulous, but what could I do?? I am just hopeful that one day a job will present itself. Right now I am just trying to be content in being home when Jeff is home and not feel like I have no purpose in life. If you know about the Army life you know that our soldier's schedules are NOTHING like normal people. It is so difficult to plan ahead and when they are off you may not be. That is frustrating. Some days it is a struggle to be thankful and trust that we are forever in GoD's hands. But we are reminded daily how blessed we really are. So we are looking forward to being amazed by God each and everyday.

Ugh, This House!!

I am so frustrated with this house. Yes, it is military housing and yes it is old and no, it has not been renovated. I grew up in houses like this, but I don't remember them being in this state. Of course I wasn't doing the cleaning then. When they re-paint the houses in between residence they just slap it on the walls and don't take the time to make it nice. The tile floors are fine, however, they are so old that they don't ever look clean. Add two long haired black animals and you've got yourself a messy house no matter how often I vacuum. The difference between Fort Knox and here is black and white. We lived in the historic houses in KY, so they were actually a lot older than the one we live in know. But it had been renovated and the housing office did an amazing job cleaning it and painting it. We had wood floors (which makes a HUGE difference) and the walls were painted either a nice sage color or a camel tan color. Makes it a little more homey. Here is it just different. I think it would make all the difference if we had 2 bathrooms and the stupid washer and dryer didn't have to be in the kitchen. Oh well, as long as Jeff and I are together it is a home.

I think I got it

Alright, I've spent all of 2 afternoons on this and I finally figured it all out. I think it is so stupid that the newer templates for blogger do don't have an option for the header to be center. I take that back...there is an option but you have to go to infinite and beyond to find it. Even then it may not work out. But whoever designed them obviously wasn't thinking of people like me who like things to be symmetrical. Now I have to figure out how I can change the font of my post title to something more fun. I just want a cute blog people!! Now to be productive for the first time this week. Good Grief!!
