God is Good!


My best friend is back from her 5 months in Argentina/Costa Rica!!! Ahh!!! I'm so glad she's back; I missed Esther SO much while she was away. We're gonna make cookies on Weds! And maybe she'll get a MySpace...we'll see. Anyways, she gave me a book to read by James R. Lucas and it's been an interesting read so far. (The book is called 'Am I the One'.)

I still really want to go to New Zealand and do the DTS I blogged about before..school will still be there when I come back; I may not get the oppertunity for the DTS again though. If I could just figure out how to raise enough money in time for the DTS...

Oh, and I'm finally better! No more flu; yay!!!

Some days without Edward are torture. All I can think about is being in his arms, greeting him at the Airport with a big a hug, and just staring into his eyes forever. It's days like these that I wish I was in Ft. Hood with some other military wives who know exactly what I'm going through; I'd have to someone to talk to who would really feel for me and not just give me sympathetic looks and responses. I can talk to my friends at church, and my friends from online forums I lurk at, but it's not the same. They aren't in my position, and most never will be, if any do find themselves in this position in the future. Sometimes I wonder if time would pass by a little quicker if I was in Ft Hood with some other military wives. The only one I know around here is Ed's mom. But his dad isn't in the military anymore, so she's not really a military wife anymore. Sigh. I don't know, I just don't know. I'm going to look into some colleges in the Ft. Hood/Killeen area that maybe I could start in the Spring/Summer? If any of ya'll know of any in the area, please help me out by providing a link. I'd like to major in Psychology, and a Christian school would be a plus!

So..my dearest fiance has woken me up the past two mornings by calling me at 5 AM. Considering he's in Iraq, and I can't always be with him yet, I think it's the perfect way to wake up in the morning. I uploaded new pictures to MySpace for him to view, hopefully he's had time to do so. He also got Yahoo IM, finally! Pray that he can get on tomorrow so we can chat. Can you save the conversations on there? I know you can on MSN/Hotmail, and I would LOVE to save the convos we have over the next few months. Also, he may be coming home for leave earlier than planned. Not sure how early, but he's still going to try and make it as close to our anticipated leave time as he can. (We planned on him being home for my birthday, he may be coming home a week or two before instead. He's also been offered the option of coming home for Christmas instead of waiting 'til the New Year.) I'm hoping it works out the way we want it to, 6 months in Iraq-15 Day leave-6 months in Iraq-HOME. That's why we picked the leave when we did. But you know, it's the military. They don't really get to pick and choose everything all the time.
Heather's coming home this week! Yay! We're going to have to go to lunch or a movie or something while she's here. I haven't seen her since August; we've gotta catch up. Esther also coming home next month, in December. Esther is my best friend in the whole world, and I can't wait for her to return! I haven't seen her since June! We gotta catch up on what she's been doing in Argentina, and what I've been doing while she was there. (We email constantly, but it's not the same.) Plus, she has to keep me busy so I don't worry too much about Edward. The Youth Christmas party is in two weeks, too. I don't know what I'm going to bring, but apparently we're supposed to bring something. Could be a good excuse to have some baked ziti...(my favorite meal).

My fiance just posted a blog comment and it won't let me view my blog or it's comments. Damn it!!!

Edit: Nvm. It's working now, although my fiance already logged off . He suggested planning the wedding in the gardens where he first gave me my promise ring if we can't get the theatre for the wedding. Joel needs to get back to me on that soon....

Ever heard of YWAM? (Stands for Youth With A Mission.) Esther is down in Argentina working in their base they have down there. Well, through our many emails, she has been telling me I should do something similar. And I'm not really against the idea. I've been kinda interested since she first told me she was doing it back in March. This past week I finally took a peek at the YWAM site, http://www.ywam.org, and found one that I would really love to participate in. The dates are perfect, I'd be home when Ed is, but I'd also have something to do for the 5 months in between seeing him. It's also in New Zealand...that's not really a huge problem, I've got a passport (I think...it may not be active anymore.), but it does bring up some interesting questions about the situation I'm in right now. (Ok, so situation isn't the best terminology for it, but I can't think of what else to call it..it'd be a 'situation' once I got to NZ though.)

Anyways, as I was surfing the NZ base site, http://www.ywam-oakridge.org.nz, I've been trying to find out about the financial-portion of the program, like how much it costs and I've been unsuccessful in finding it. Is there anyone who could help me find that out? I'd ask Esther, but she's a little unavailable right at the moment, and I want to find out everything I can about this as soon as I can. (Like in the next few days!)
