Waiting...

I love this boy! :)
Well, Jeremy talked to the people from Arkansas and they told him they hired someone else. The guy did say though that they got 100 applications and Jeremy was number 2 on their list to hire. As my dad told me the other day every time Jeremy interviews for a job and somebody else gets hired he moves up on the list. The possible move out of this town has fallen through also. Jeremy's boss gave him multiple reasons (which don't really make too much sense) as to why they don't want to move the office. After that Jeremy asked him about just having two offices where he could split time between two places but it would allow him to move to the other town. His boss didn't say no, but he wasn't real enthusiastic about that either. A few people employed by/in Jeremy's same field do exactly the same thing but for some reason they are reluctant to let him do it. We both agreed to drop that idea all together. Long story short we decided that obviously that door is closed for a reason. We always go into situations trusting that if a move is God's will it will happen and if not it won't. We will just continue to wait on the Lord and trust that this is where he wants us for now. It is not easy. Sometimes I just want to move back to our house in NW Florida and leave Jeremy here.-I would never actually leave him here by himself, I would miss him too much, but I feel about that desperate sometimes. Other times (like yesterday) things go very well and the weather is perfect and I feel like I can make it a little while longer :) Jeremy is leaving on July 10th to go TDY to Jacksonville and Palatka (in central Florida) so we've decided to take a trip to visit the grandparents. We will head up on the 29th of this month(!!!) Jeremy will leave me and Jakob there while he goes on his trip and then he will come back and pick us up around the 14th or 15th. That means I will get 2 weeks back home. I am totally excited because summer means we can take Jakob to Rocky Bayou Park and the beach. I think a visit home to some place familiar is what we both need right now

I'm so sorry Shauna, both about the Arkansas job and the office move. I know how the latter would have made this job so much better. I know God has great plans for you. It just sucks that we don't know them know! I'm so glad you get to go home for 2 weeks. That sounds like a great time of respit. Praying for you friend! xoxo
