Week 2!!!
Current mood:  excited
Week Two has come and gone. It's been a better week than week one. Congratulations to Jessica!!! She got the job she wanted at EDGE Fitness. It's a great opportunity. It's owned by a couple we know and it will allow her to work around the kids schedule and offers her the ability to work as much as she wants. Nothing has broken down this week so that a plus. As for me I'm sitting back enjoying the time till I find the job that God has waiting for me. Please continue to praise God what He's doing especially Jessica's job and continue to pray for my job and that we continue to follow in His will for our lives. Oh yea the kids. They are making tons of friends. We already have kids stopping by the house asking for them and Skye already has a boyfriend(Joseph). To all those in Valdosta we love you and miss you much. To those here Thank you for being so welcoming to us as we have come home. Till next week....

We're Home! Our first week.
Current mood:  productive
So we are back home in Warner Robins. Everythings going good. Job applications are in, kids are in school, and living with my parents hasn't been to bad. Jessica has a great job offer. Just awaiting to work out all the fine details. Me on the other hand is playing the waiting game. I know we are in God's will and know God already has a job waiting for me. I just have to find it. Our first week was pretty eventful. First my Dad had to have a heart cath on Tuesday, Wednesday our transmission went out in the van, Thursday morning we wake up and the refridgerator and freezer at my parents went out, and that was about it for our first week. That just proves the point of one of my favorite saying "If your not running head on with the Devil you must be running with him". Keep us in your your prayers as I continue looking for a job and hopefully looking for a home soon.

Going Home!
Current mood:  hopeful
As most of you know several months ago we felt a strong calling for me to pursue my passion and get out of the military and for to go to nursing school as well as take some seminary courses for ministry opportunities in the future (Youth ministry, Skate church--whatever)...At this point we got so excited about our "dream" that we began to plan and talk to a lot of you and as time passed, began to let a little monster called "fear" overtake that dream. We began to look at our finances, our future, retirement....life just seemed so easy in the military and so with that fear in our minds, made the decision to stay in the military and *maybe* pursue that dream in the future.
We began to make plans and preparations with some sadness to stay in, finish 20 years of military career and just chalk it up to "security". Our drawback to re-enlisting was that my career field was not one that I enjoy or really could pursue in the civilian world after my out date in 12 years...so I decided to cross-train into another field. I chose medical, then training/education. After the medical field door closed, the training/education field seemed to show promise--which of course made us feel a little bit better about deciding to stay in. With all the proper paperwork in place, we began the waiting game of finding out if he was "approved" to cross-train. Since we had not heard any news and my re-enlistment date was drawing near, I decided to follow-up to make sure everything was in place that he needed. We found my paperwork was "lost"--meaning they never received anything on my application to cross-train. So I did what I could, and submitted a whole new application. If you know much about the military, you know that everything is about "timing". The we find out my cross-training was not approved because my career field is "frozen"--meaning they can't afford to have any weapons people leave. At the original time when I submitted the paperwork it was not "frozen" and things looked rather promising. Very frustrating as you can imagine.
After much prayer many, many tears, Kris and I began to realize that maybe this was a "God" thing...closing a door that we were never meant to pursue. Was it simply because of fear that we decided not to pursue his dream? Yes. Did we feel like God truly called us to pursue it at this time in our lives? Yes. Do we feel like idiots for not doing what we knew was right? No--well, Yes...but anyway :) we all make mistakes.
Now comes the fear of leaving the military. Which means back to Warner Robins, Ga. with no jobs or home!!! Our original plan was to move back home to Warner Robins to be close to our families while I went through school. So, we just going on blind faith that since we are pursuing what we feel like God called us to...then He will provide. So to all of our Macon and W.R. peeps it looks like we will be home--anybody hiring?? *hehe* To all of our Valdosta peeps, please know that we love you with all of our hearts and we are really excited about moving home and pursuing our "dream". I know a lot of you are probably thinking we're completely crazy, but that's okay--as long as we know we are pleasing God by being obedient to His calling, then we don't care. That was our whole issue to begin with...a land full of giants called fear, unbelief, etc.!! I don't know about all of you, but I don't want to live the rest of my life regretting or missing out on something that God has for me just because I didn't have enough faith or trust in Him to believe that He knows best!!!
You all know how much we love and appreciate you and we hope that we can keep in touch with all of our Valdosta family...on the flip side, I am very excited to come home to my Macon/W.R. family. I have missed you all terribly!!
I know I will be talking to all of you soon, but just PLEASE, PLEASE bathe us in prayer right now! We are at peace with all of this, but extra prayers never hurt anyone, right??

Its true! Me and Jessica have split!!!
Current mood:  sleepy
Yes it's true! Due to creative differences Jessica and I have split our Myspace accounts only. We are still happily married after seven years, and I love her more today than I ever have. Just like any other split she got to keep the original Myspace account. So here is the new and improved Kris' Myspace page.
