Our Assignment

So last night Beau received phone call from our sponsor, welcoming him to our new base. We haven't even been given the official paperwork! It has put my mind at rest and now I can begin planning! We are headed to Lackland! We are so excited!And Daniel can keep all of his specialist up here in Austin!

Another Child lost

As I sit here this morning I opened my Email to see another child who is losing the battle with FA. Too many have died since we joined the group in August. It breaks my heart everytime I read about it because I know unless there is a cure found that will be at least one of my kids, possibly 2, we don't have anything on paper for the second one but I am fairly certain. It is a hard thing knowing all you can do is sit and watch time pass. I am so thankful for my knowledge of eternal families and that even after this life is over I will see them again and their bodies will be perfected through Christ. My heart is heavy today, and praying for the families who have lost children sooner than they should have, to this disease.

We Are Almost Done

This time we've spent apart has made me stronger than I thought I could ever be. When Beau left for OTS I was scared to death. I stood tall, told him not to worry, I would be fine, but I was terrified. Afraid I would fail as a mother while he was gone. He helped so much around the house and with the kids that I wasn't sure how it was going to go. I was afraid to fall asleep, afraid one(Daniel) would need something and I wouldn't wake up, I found it hard to sleep at first and would wait up for Beau's call or text and then fall asleep due to pure exhaustion after it arrived. Over the last month I have learned that a nap can fix your whole week, your kids would rather stay home and snuggle watching movies and eating popcorn than go anywhere, and that I am stronger than I thought. I am so proud of Beau and his accomplishments while he has been away, he is amazing, I always knew he was amazing, but he doesn't always see it so I have to remind him. I think I tell him everyday. Only 20 days left, we still have no idea where we are going and no idea when we are moving but I am learning patience in the process. And this helps me remember why he is gone, to become a leader, to make our lives better, and to provide for our kids. How did I get so lucky?
