Virginia

Well, we're officially in Virginia. We made it here the day after Thanksgiving. It was a LONG drive, especially with the two cats, but we made it and we're here. We just got our internet up and running...takes a lot longer out here to get things hooked up.

I have met some wonderful people out here so far, but it's still no place like home. I miss California very much. I miss my family, my friends, my church, my beach, my warm weather, my Claim Jumper, my doctor, everything. Don't get me wrong it's beautiful out here, but it's just not home and knowing we're only going to be here for 6 months makes it almost worse because I don't want to get settled here because I know we're just going to be moving again. So, until we know where we will officially be stationed it's hard to put my heart into anything, but I am just praying that the Lord will sustain me and that He and I will grow closer in this time of being far away from home.

On a more pleasant note, I have made a good friend that actually lives in my apartment complex. It's kind of funny how we met actually. We were both taking the trash out and met at the trash compactor...talk about divine appointments!!!! We are very similar and I love spending time with her.
