It's Almost Over!

Dayne called again today. He passed all his tests! yay! I had no doubt that God would help him through it. Thanks to all who prayed for him during this time. Basic is coming to an end and I am so excited to get to see Dayne soon.

In other news, it looks like we'll be moving sooner than I thought. We still don't know where but it will be within the next couple weeks. Please keep us in your prayers.

News From Basic

I have finally heard from Dayne after what has seemed like months. His moral is still high and he is definately looking forward to the quickly approaching finish line. One prayer request he had was that everyone pray for him to pass his physical tests. All the running, push-ups, sit-ups, etc have to be done in a certain amount of time and he is nervous about meeting those goals. I have no doubt that he can do it because he rises up to meet and often surpass any goal placed before him. He is also still unsure about what job he will receive and will not find out until next week. There is one in particualr that he says he might enjoy, and we are really hoping and praying that he will be assigned that job. Please pray for Dayne in these last few weeks that he will have the perserverence he needs to finish strong and be proud of all he has accomplished. Also, keep sending those letters as they help him get through each day.

As for me, I've been trying to stay busy. Last week I visited my parents for a few days and brought Megan and Tyler back home with me for a night. I've started working on some crafts and doing some sewing. Hopefully it will help the time pass by quickly.

Are we there yet?

Life at home has taken me through a rollercoaster of emotions. Some days are pretty good. I get to visit family or clean the house. The days that are hard are those that consist of sitting around or watching TV. It's really hard not to have friends in the area, and I often get very lonely with Dayne gone. I am trying to stay strong and positive, knowing that he will be home soon. I haven't heard how he's been doing since he told me he hurt his knee. Hopefully his moral is still high and he is staying persistant. His graduation is quickly approaching as is our move and the start of our Air Force life. I'm looking forward to the journey God has in store for us.

One thing that has really helped me get through this, besides writting tons of letters, is a book I got as a wedding present. I can't tell you how many times I have reread it, but I pull something new from it every time I read it. It has helped not only to encourage me, but helped me feel closer to my husband, especially while he is away. The book is called "The Power of a Praying Wife" by Stormie Omartain.
I would say it is a "must have" for every christian wife.
