Friends Near and Far

Ben's senior year roommate, Henry and his new wife just visited us! We had the joy of having them stay with us on Sunday evening.

We are soo excited because Henry and Christina are soon going to be moving to Pensacola to start flight school as well! It will probably be November when they actually move down here, but they came down to put some of their stuff in storage and to house hunt a little bit.

It was really fun to hang out with them for the night, we ate homeade pizza, chatted and watched the season finale of lost together on the computer. :)


I am finally getting back into working out. Step class kicked my butt yesterday, but it felt soo good to be sore this morning. Our instructer is this crazy marine drill sergeant type of lady and so she really pushes you, which I need.


We are praying about a few different things for the future while we are here in Pensacola, mostly moving and school related... so it will be exciting to see where the Lord directs us.

We are also praying for good accountability here with people our age. Our church is full of older and wiser people which is fantastic! We are really growing a lot in knowing the Word as we get to know the church here, but we are also hoping for some good relationships with people here that are our age. And with people coming in and out so often with the military lifestyle, it makes it a bit more challenging in some ways--but God is in control and He directs our steps, so we are just asking Him to send those people our way.


I'm off to sew, meal plan and get ready for our next round of visitors! My cousins, Candice & Martin and possibly Ben's brother, Cam are coming to visit us on Thursday evening for a long weekend!

Standby for more adventures and happenings to blog about soon :)

1. Love how you just ended with "stand by for more..."

That's not too far out military talk but I'm thinking it might be a phrase of Ben's influence!

I talk to older Marine wives and they speak in acronyms like it's normal!

My husband does now too.

Instead of a "to do list" he has a list titled "Priorities of Work."

And instead of asking me to get some directions, the other day he asked for the "coordinates" of where we were going!

2. "crazy marine drill sergeant type of lady " - i laughed out loud! i know the type!

Love you Ash!
