San Diego

I have been here for a day now. This is the first time I have had to do nothing. I think we take nothing time for granted. This process is just processing a mass amount of people at once. It is kind of annoying because If everyone would have done what they were supposed to do most of this would not be necessary.
Today was death by PowerPoint, I have most of my ducks in a row so most of it was involuntary review. Will, power of attorney, page 2, ect. Tomorrow is Medical, should be light for me I have already had most of the needles, I may need a booster or two. Dental is another story (I hate dental).
Most of the day is spent feeling like cows, Go her. Wait hurry here. OK wait. As far as plans everything is changing faster than I can catch up.

Until later.

Just a note: I will not likely update this regularly, general info can be obtained from Christina.

Heart of Stone

Cantrell likes Rocks. His favorite are rocks those that are made up of different materials. When he was smaller he pointed these out this saying "sometimes rocks have little rocks inside them". A few days after I told him about what was happening, he comes to me with this rock. I think Grandma and Grandad helped him with this.

He tells me this is his rock, but I can have it so when I miss him I can look at it. He told me he kissed it, and to keep it safe.

Now every time I talk to him (We are already separate for a little while) he asks me about the rock. I don't know; perhaps it serves as some kind of psychological comfort to him. I don't think he gets the Significances of the heart shape, it is just a cool rock he has loaned to me. It is perfect, it has little specks of different material all through it. I don't know how to convince hem but im gonna keep it. It has become my prized possession. Its one of those things daddy's keep forever. Anyway; he is awesome, I'm so proud of him.

A tale of two Proverbs.

The below post in short says I am going to Iraq......Again. I was kinda venting in a goofy way. (sorry Glenda). This has been a roller coaster of expectations and Emotions.

Roller coaster Summery

1. I got to Choose orders, (I picked the technical job that was going to be less time outside US)
2. 
   We Moved family to Kansas (Sister and family for support)
3. 
   Orders got canx, at the last minute (that put me in Texas and them in Wichita with no purpose).
4. 
   Friday I got new orders handed to me, They are very vague, I don't know what I am going to be doing or where in Iraq, and I will be there longer than I had suspected.
5. 
   So, what Now? I have never felt less sure.

Last week I was in Prov. 27 First verse says it best "......You do not know what a day may bring."

My old friends may know my favorite proverb is 21:1. I have been quoting that for Years but it means so much more to the military family. I have seen God make good on that so many times I still having trouble trusting and being pateint. I just want to fix it.
