To Georgia and back again.

I'm home after a long weekend full of working, packing, unpacking, traveling, playing with a two year old... you get the drift.... I'm happy to be home!

Michael is also gone at this time. This is the first time that he has really been away from me. We've been communicating through e-mail, when I have internet access which hasn't been that often. I've really been convicted about how I spend my days without Michael to care for.

Here was my schedule for today:

7:00am - Breakfast at some hotel outside of Emporia

8:15am - on the road home

10:30am - at the store deciding whether or not to unload (I did have a nap on the road)

11:45am - finished up at work and drove Elaine home

12:30pm - I realized that I had left my can opener at Joy's house. (I was in dire need of it because I didn't have any food at home and the only thing I was craving - I'm not pregnant :p - was beans and hot dogs)

1:30pm - home after getting my can opener and picking up two movies

2:00pm - lunch and a movie, ok, two movies

5:00pm - I piddled around the house washing sheets and cleaning up

7:00pm - I'm still piddling

9:00pm - piddling some more

Now - I'm tired and ready for my own bed!

So was it okay to not be as resourceful (sp?) with my day as I could have? I don't know. It kinda felt good to not have an agenda and only need to worry about how I'm being taken care of.

Hmmm.

And, I didn't mention this earlier, but I have found that I'm a pretty big baby when my husband leaves. :) I was almost a bucket of tears when he left on Monday and now I'm counting down the hours till Thursday!

I'll get used to it I suppose. The Lord is my strength!

For all of my readers...

Please lift up Jen Napier in your prayers!

Drum roll, please!

It's official - if you haven't heard it yet - the Paulus crew is moving to Las Vegas*! Actually we're moving to Nellis Air Force Base right outside Las Vegas - but it's all the same.

I really need to post a few prayer requests:

1.)That the Lord would give me a clear mind and peace (this is my first move... ever)

2.) That I would look to be a blessing to Michael as this draws closer - looking for ways to make the move go smoother

3.) That I would be a Proverbs 31 wife, specifically as I set up house in a new area. (Michael's came pre-set) :)

4.) That the Lord would guide our footsteps, ease the emotions attached with leaving the ones I love and the home I grew up in, and help me cleave to my wonderful husband as he leads me into the great unknown.

5.) That the Lord would open up a college for me to attend and finalize what my degree will be in (I happened to love my chemistry course this summer! I know, I'm a nerd...)

*As with any military transfer it's not final till it's final. Layman's: Las Vegas is not final until I am in Las Vegas.
