Seasons of Life

   I am learning to accept the seasons in life better and better each time a new one approaches. I have learned God has a timing for everything and it is perfect timing.. it may not seem like it at the time but He knows what he is doing!

  When we moved down to MS, never did I think I had a purpose here or that I would find any friends here. Let me tell you friends, it has turned out to be quite the opposite. I met people who have become life long friends. These friends have become family and have supported us in so many ways when no one else would. It's another life lesson I have learned, there comes a time when you realize you aren't on the top of priority lists for some people, and while it sucks and seems like it should be a normal thing, its okay.. God brings other people into our lives to fill the gaps. Today, I had to say good-bye to a special friend. This woman was the first person I met in the world of UPT and she quickly became a great friend. We were there for one another and spent countless nights staying up and talking about life.. our rough childhood,  pregnancy, labor/birth, kids, husbands, cooking, and other girl talk. When our husbands were both on TDY, we were always together. We developed a special bond and I didn't think we could get any closer.. that was until she helped me and supported me through all of my infertility treatments.. and then jumped for joy with me and shed tears with me when I finally saw those two pink lines.. and then prayed for me and our "snowflake" when things weren't looking so promising.. and then helped me and supported me throughout all of my pregnancy, and then helped and supported me after I had Eli and was there for me when I was going through the dark world of PPD. She has been there for me when I had no one else.. when someone helps you bring a child into this world, you know that person will always have a special place in your heart. I am going to miss her so much but I know that God has amazing plans for us and we will meet again!

   So now that the majority of our Air Force friends have moved away its becoming more of a reality that our time here is almost up.. its time for something new and to move on. We will be moving to Omaha in just under 2 months and I am beyond excited! I know that God has us going to Omaha for a reason and I know He has a wonderful plan that includes making some more amazing friends and finally settling down into a wonderful house and start raising our family. I am excited for all of that, and for my friends that have already began their new journeys.. I can't wait until we begin ours, and finally, after many years and moves,  it is such a relief to have positive and exciting feelings about moving.
