Wow, can you believe it is almost March...this year is already flying. And it is a beautiful day in the state of SD ! :) Mike left yesterday for Sioux Falls (about 5 hours away) for a funeral and will be home tomorrow around lunch, Lord willing. I just thought I would throw in this update real quick....
Today I plan on getting some things done...packing up more toys, tons of laundry and my floors need some attention! We will see how much I get done, you know I have 4 kids now lol !! :)
Well we are still planning on a TX trip. Here are our plans....as of now we plan on leaving like 4am on Thursday the 11th of March and Lord willing will make it to Mike's parents house late on Friday the 12th. We plan on staying there until monday morning, then we plan to head to Mckinney and will stay there with Grace and her family until we leave on Friday the19th...Lord willing we will be back home late Sat. the 20th! We are excited, please pray for travel mercies...the Lord has always been so kind in protecting us as we travel.
Mike may take off all next week to study at the library, he will test for his next rank the week after next. Pray for him, that he would get some good time in to study and that the Lord would bring everything he has studied back into remembrance for him when he test.
And after much prayer ( I cannot believe I will type this)...Mike has decided he needs to deploy and I am ok this this...must be the Lord preparing my heart. There is a slot that is open for him to deploy for 6 months in July, we are not sure if he got it or not....long story. Would I go home for a while, would I stay here the whole time??? Tons of decisions we need wisdom. We have been back and forth as to what we should do concerning our TX trip and our GA trip as Mike is limited on days...we have decided to go on with the TX trip and GA trip until the Lord shows otherwise. We will see how the Lord works this out. Mike cannot stand the fact that he has only deployed once in 11 years...back in 2002 before we even had Anna and for only 3 months....he has always had special duty positions that cannot deploy him. He really feels he needs to do his part and this has really been getting to him. If he does deploy, we would possibly be able to put in for that Pensacola position if there is still an opening...which would put us much closer to both of our families. I seem to want to put this in my own hands and worry about how all these details will work out, I sure do not know how, but the Lord knows and I find much peace in that. Just pray it may be the Lord's will for us to go to TX here in a couple weeks as planned and for me to be able to be home for the births of the babies in GA this June.
That is pretty much a run down on us at the moment, Beth is jumping all over my lap so I better go. Love to you all!

I do not know what to say. I will be praying, and I know as well as anyone else. God has His plan and He is in control. I love you ALL!!! I don't want to see Mike go, there is a reson for everything, God's reason. I will be Praying that God see's it best for Mike to stay with his family and still get to move to Fl soon.
We will be praying for all the decisions that you have to make. I will especially be praying for the part of you coming here for a long, long visit after he deploys since there will be so many babies for you to love on...(mine included)HAHAHA!!! And it sure would be nice to spend more time with you and the kiddos. I hope everything works out and will be praying for the Lord's guidance. Love you and miss you bunches!
Love,
Tabitha
