PAPERS ARE SIGNED

The papers are signed and we pick them up tomorrow from Winchester! Tuesday we meet with the recruiter. Thursday or Friday Joe goes to MEPS to get contract and be sworn in. We may be moving as soon as the end of the month. I will keep you all up to date on the time and location.

Transfer Paperwork

Well, we are still waiting for transfer paperwork, but today I called Brigade and talked to someone that Joe knows from his Iraq deployment. He tracked down the paperwork and is personally going to take it to Major Weaver tomorrow to sign as it was still sitting with the Brigade Career Counselor as of this AM. From Major Weaver's desk it has to go to State to be signed by the state adjutant general, Gen. Umbarger. Cpt. Dalripple said that it should not take long to be signed at state because often times they look at the paperwork, see that Brigade has cleared him and then just sign the papers. We are hoping to be packing up and heading out by the first of March.

I will keep you posted as things progress and we have more definitive news.

Mission Statement

Well I just wanted to start a website where my family and friends could stay up to date on what was going on with our family, but especially the kids as we deploy on to our next mission station. Yes, mission. I believe God is calling us back into service. I don't know exactly what he has in store for us yet, but the military family is definitely one area that is in despite need of God. With long deployments and loved ones in scary situations, God is an ever present and powerful source of strength in times of uncertainty.
As the time nears for us to move on, wherever it may be, I want you to all know that we love you very much and will miss you all. I will try to post on here weekly with updated pictures and post all about the newest accomplishments.
Please continue to pray for us as we venture out into unknown waters and take God's love with us. God bless you all.
