Disappointment

Since Tim entered the military, we have been making plans- or rather not making plans because we are always in risk of not being able to do it. This summer's Reach Out (our church's "mission" camp) is no exception. Tim and I were going to do this as a team. Now, he can't get leave. So I am going to participate, but Tim can't. It is so frustrating making plans, getting excited about those plans, then watching those plans be destroyed.
We also were planning on going to Michigan this year. I have never been, and we want Jairus to spend time with family. That is not happening either. Between Tim not getting leave, we are also footing a huge bill for having some of our fence replaced. Praise Jesus we have the money in savings to afford having the fence fixed! It is just hard when that money was thought to going to do something fun. Our little family has never gone on a vacation. We didn't have a honeymoon, the longest trip we have been on was a weekend to the beach. I am thankful for that at least.
Next year my brother is marrying his beautiful girlfriend! I HAVE TO BE THERE!!! They live in Ohio, so we are planning on going to be with them, and then staying in Michigan for a couple days. I pray the Lord makes it happen for us. And gives us someone who can stay with the dogs..... Anyway, I just wanted to keep you all posted on the latest and not so greatest in out family. But Jairus is doing good, he is growing and is trying to walk a little more every day! Thank you Lord for those blessings. We love you family!
