I honestly cannot believe it's Summer already. Where does time go?
Life has had us busy lately but it's been all good and full of blessings from the Lord. We're gearing up for a year of my husband being in school full-time for the Army. So the whole house will be "doing school" next year. It will be an exciting time and a time to reconnect as a family with the added blessings of him being home more than being gone. We can't wait. I can't wait!
We are also in the midst of fostering kittens for a rescue organization in town. After having to put my sweet Sadie to sleep we've wanted another cat but Mac hasn't been feeling that need as much as we have. :-) We like to adopt older cats that most people overlook but it seems we have had this run lately of personalities that don't mesh well together. So the next best thing is fostering! We currently have 7 kittens which means our normally quiet little house is rocking with tons of kitten energy. Dusty doesn't seem to mind too much but he's never much minded other cats or kittens. Fresca, DS's kitty, is pretty much freaked out. Mac has actually been the surprise. He has played and played with the kittens and been like a big brother to them. It's been so sweet to watch. Since having the kittens they have grown so much and it has been quite fun to watch their personalities blossom. My precious husband has even said I could adopt one if I wanted. Such a sweetie. I haven't decided yet.
We commemorated Memorial Day yesterday. Because we are a patriotic family and military family that holiday holds a special meaning for us, but since 2003 it holds a particularly special meaning. That year was the first year of the war in Iraq and my husband's first deployment. One certain 1st Sgt. went out of his way to befriend my husband and that friendship grew and deepened before and during their deployment. Not everyone wants to be friends with "the Chaplain" but Robert sought my husband's friendship out. However Robert J. Dowdy lost his life during the ambush/attack on the 507th Maintenance Company in March of 2003. This loss still affects my husband to this day and Robert and his family are never far from our thoughts and prayers on Memorial Day. We know we will see Robert again but miss him now on this earth as we know his family does.
We're also excited about some changes we'll be making with school next year. Another year of growth in the Lord and hearing Him clearly in some areas has led to the changes. We'll still use the Wisdom Booklets as supplemental curriculum but looking into fine-tuning our direction with our son's gifts. I am excited about the changes and look forward to seeing how the Lord will use them to work in our lives especially our son. But as always I seem to see all the good for him and the Lord winds up working in my own life the most.
Stay cool in the new Summer heat that has been turned on. I was sincerely hoping for a more temperate summer since we had a colder winter but it appears that since June 1st has a heat index of 110 forecast I may be in for a disappointment. :-)
