I'll join the crowd

Well, it seems that almost everyone I know has a blog, so why not me?
My life is crazy right now and I'm in a transition time that I'm a little aprehensive about, not really knowing what will happen next. Part of that is due to being a military wife. With the army it's all about "hurry up and wait", "be ready to go at a moments notice" and overall BE FLEXIBLE. One day Jason is coming home in August, the next he might get extended. Hopefully we'll know soon. Although being an army wife is tough at times, holding down the fort at home, it also is a great growing experience. It honestly is really neat to see how God is drawing us closer together even though we're seperated by an ocean. I'm finding out new things about myself and Jason that I'm not sure I would have learned otherwise. It's bittersweet. To get the character, you have to go through the refining process. And boy, am I in that process now! But God's grace is sufficient, right?
I am staying very busy while Jason is gone finishing up my hours for massage therapy school. HOPEFULLY I'll be done the beginning of May and on my way to being liscensed. Woo-hoo!!!!! I am so excited! I have found my calling! I love doing massage therapy, I finally found something that I'm really good at and I enjoy doing. It is so cool how God's timing worked it all out perfectly too: I'd be able to do what I wanted in becoming a massage therapist without having to take away from family time, plus it gives me something to keep myself busy with while he's gone. Not just something to keep me busy, but something I'm excited about! I can't wait to see what it is like to do it for a living! I'm both excited and nervous! I've never done anything like this, it's all new. Where do I begin? :-)
Well, it's getting late and my brain is slowly turning into a fog so I better hop off before I drive you wonderful friends and family away with this lengthy blog. You know how sometimes I can ramble.
I'm going to try to keep it updated so be sure to check back periodically, but you know me.....I'll do my best.

Emily, it is great to see your update. I wonder if this is somewhat because of our conversation.

Hey Em,

Welcome to the world of blogging! Though I'm still a new comer myself. :) Maybe we can keep up on what's going on with each other a little better now! I can't wait to see you next week!
Love you!
Amy
