Good ol OK

Cyndi and I had an amazing week in Oklahoma and really enjoyed the semi-warm weather! It was such a treat to be able to go home for a good friend's wedding (congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Knoblock) and stay through UCO's homecoming festivities. By the way, the homecoming activities ended with the crowning of the 2008 Homecoming Queen-Miss Meredith Carrick, Cyndi's Lil Sis.


An0ther great thing that happened while I was home is that all of my cousins who were serving overseas in Operation Iraqi Freedom have returned home safely to their families. Thank goodness! I had the pleasure of visiting both of my Grandma's and seeing aunts, uncles, cousins, and old friends but sadly was not able to visit everyone I wanted to. If I didn't get to visit you this week please accept my sincere apologies and feel free to come visit me in Nebraska :)


So much has happened with my friends and family in the short time i've been gone and I know so much will continue to happen. I realize that life goes on without me but it has been an abrupt awakening. Babies are born and children I love are getting older and growing up, friends are graduating, breaking up, and starting new relationships. I though this move would be an easy one because moving has been inevitable all my life. Every three years it's time to pack up and move to a new duty station with my family but this time it was my choice to leave. Was it the right choice? Yes, I think so. I believe whole-heartedly that this is exactly where God wants me and i'm doing what He wants me to do. I have to believe that my friends and family will still be my friends and family even though they are growing and continuing to live their lives. I hope that I can maintain those relationships that are most important to me.

It is currently 47 degrees in the city of lincoln and will be in the 20's when I wake up for work tomorrow. So enjoy your bright sunny days down south and think of Cyn and I...

If you're praying for us as we're here in Nebraska please pray that we find a church home soon and that we find steady Christian fellowship that we are longing for.


Love you all!
