After a long agonizing 4 months, the Army finally sent my husband home. For the last month of our separation I was on pins and needles. The reason... Bill was having problems passing the run for his PT test. He was 10 seconds over the time limit, and because of this they discharged him. Our dreams of a secure future were ripped out from under us. It took the Army a month from the time they said "You're going home" to actually getting him home. A very frustrating time! I was scared, alone, and I had no idea what we were going to do. We didn't really have a backup plan, I mean who gets kicked out of the military other than screw ups?
Our reunion was wonderful! I could finally hold my husband in my arms again. And let me tell you, the Army did a good job (at least physically) he's got some nice muscles :) Anyway, life after boot camp... has been full of prayer. We want to do exactly what the Lord has planned for us. We still feel strongly about being in the Army, so Bill is going to re-enlist this October. In the meantime he's going to practice his tuba and run like non other! As for me, I'm going to take the GRE and apply for more grad schools. I applied for the University of Washington in Tacoma, but now that we're not going there I have to apply elsewhere.
Now, we are all caught up to the present. If you want to send some extra prayers our way, I would greatly appreciate it! AND you could send some running tips our way too!
