I know it has been a while for most. I have been out of cantact for quite some time. But things have been all over the place with our livess lately and to be honest we just haven't had the time to explain it all. But here I go ...

Joel and I have been back in Port Angeles since September and trying our best to get settled in to what we guessed to be our home for the next few years. Well it just so happens that being in the Coast Gaurd leaves a lot to the imagination, and not so much is certian. Just when we thought we were finally able to be settle, God rocked the Boat yet again. So I ask for prayer and for encouragement. I wont go into all the detailes, but the simple truth is that Joel recently recieved orders to boat that is getting ready to leave on the 2nd of January for two months. This will be our third time being apart from each other for such a long time since we have been married. It is really frusterating, and since my VISA still has not been sent, this leaves me in a hard situation once again. Ny best bet is to find an under the table paying Job or move in with some family for the meantime. Anyway, Joel and I try our best to find what God want's us to in all this, but that doesn't mean it isn't upsetting. I would really appreciate your prayers, and I am sure Joel could as well since this was the last thing he wanted to be doing in the coast gaurd.. we'll keep you updated.Thank you..

Well I am back living with my mom for the summer. It is a bitter sweet deal, because I am here able to spend some much needed time with family and friends, but the closest one of both is away from me. Joel my husband is off to go to training to become a rescue swimmer for the US Coast Gaurd. I am here waiting out the time with familiure faces. 

It should be a good summer as long as I can keep myself busy enough not to think about being away from Joel. He has become such an important part of my life it can get really hard to be apart from him. Especially knowing that he is having this whol other life without me, not to sound protective or anything. It's just nice to be experiencing life with someone you love this much.

Well I am glad to be with my family, and to see some really awesome friends of mine. I plan to visit woth as many of them as I can, while making a little money on the side with a part time job. So those are most of the plans. Other than that I am just going with the flow. It's good to be home...
