Military Move almost in progress!

Ok so there are a few things, so far that I love about being a military dependant. THEY PACK AND MOVE ALL OF OUR THINGS! Yes, it's true, I don't really have to do much but observe and make sure that every box is accounted for and that they don't try to steal my stuff....which I have heard happening more than I would like to believe.
Brandon finally set up the move on line and a lady called today to confirm a date for them to come look at all of our things to decide how many boxes, what kind of shipping equiptment etc.... Our packing dates are the 23rd and 24th and the pack out date is the 25th...so moving out of town is the 26th. It's all coming together!

Also, on another note, it's been a whirl-wind of emotions for me lately. God is really dealing with me about somethings. I am reading this book called "Do you think I am beautiful" and it's very interesting for us women who desire to be desired and have some over the top emotional reactions to things. Not all women are like this, I realize, but I am one of the "lucky" ones who wears my heart on my sleave and always show my emotions with out thinking or even knowing it sometimes.
This drives my husband kind of crazy at times....Imagine that! We are opposites when it comes to emotions, as most men are but he is very unemotional. And I know that, that is not a bad thing, but it drives me crazy at times....so you can see how this works for us!
After 6 1/2 years of marriage, things change as we both have changed together and some things changed not together. That's the beauty of love and making a relationship work this day and age, I believe. We still have to Choose to love even in our best and worst days. God can only fill the little voids we have (I have). A human man can't fill our every need emotionaly, I am finally learning this!! Sounds like a DUH moment right? Well, maybe for some but not me. I am finally realizing that my husband does love me in his own way and I am to appreciate him for that! We can't expect our spouses to be, act and do things that is just not them to do. I guess it sounds like I am kind of giving in to him not changing, but as I read in my old journals from when we were dating, he was the same then. So just because we have been together for this long doesn't mean I should start holding him accountable to higher standards and a different way of showing his love for me if he's never done this before. Men are not women, and I know my husband will do things that will take me by surprize, and we should appreciate that effort. But God is relentless! HE wants all of us, not just part of us. I love this word....Relentless....it means to keep coming after you but in a compassionate way. That's how much God loves us and thinks that we are just the greatest thing since sliced bread! Lame joke, but my prayer for you and me is that we should always know that God fills us with love and adoration when our husbands are not able to show us like we would like them to! God thinks we are the most beautiful creatures that He's ever created so we need to start believeing it and not putting the blame on our husbands shortcomings. I know I am gonna try to start this!
Well, that's it.....I just typed it out there for you who want to read!
Blessing!

Hello bloggers!!

I am a new blogger and since my husband and I's life is about to get more and more exciing, I thought that I should blog about the experiences.

I am off work today...the sun is shining here in Florida and it's actually a little warmer so today is a walk my Great Dane day...he needs it. Can dogs get cabin fever? Because I think Kaine does! I can't take my little Sophie, the dachshund, is hurt, like has a pulled muscle in her neck so she is resting on the heating pad, after taking her pain meds and after yesterday's acupuncturist came to work on her. Yes, we did, and it's working! She is stiff in the mornings, but my dog really felt better after she worked on her. So I am a believer! Now I know it sounds wierd that I would do this for my dog, but we have no kids and Sophie's only 5 years old (they can live up to 17 sometimes) so this is trying to help her before she hurts herself really bad and can't move. More to come on this...

So, as I said in my blog description, we are awaiting orders to move to Jacksonville, FL and we are most excited, but also sad to leave the wonderful family of friends we have made at Liberty Church...these people have meant the world to me. I hope and pray that I can do the same for another person and that we can find a wonderful new group of friends in Jax. Also my wonderful little bank job, I love the people I work with and I hope I can transfer to another banking center that has wonderful people working there as well as interesting customers!
That's all for now....
