Praise


Have you ever had one of those experiences when you were sure that God was laughing at you. Well Joel and I just finally got a huge answer to prayer this last week, and it was almost like He wanted to wait as long as he possibly could just to see us squirm for a while. For those of you who don't know the whole situation here it is. Joel works for The U.S. Coast Guard and has been stationed on an ice breaker for the last 7 months. This specific boat is ordered to go to Antarctica for at least 4 months and has actually left today!! Now you may be wondering why I am not crying right now, and that is simply because God finally decided Antarctica wasn't where He wanted Joel to be. Just last week Joel received his orders to move on to the School he applied to become a rescue swimmer. So now we are moving to Port Angeles in 15 days to sign in by the 20th, and Joel's training to become an official rescue man starts in the new year. So God pulled a fast one on us. Pulling us along until we had settled with the idea of being away from eachother for months, just to find out that we weren't going to be getting rid of eachother that easily. So here we are... about to embark on yet another chapter in our lives together.

Port Angeles is still in Washington, just a few hours or so from where we are now. So I still expect a visit at some point mister...
