Answered Prayers

So, who says God doesn't answer prayers?

Even though I had made peace with Jeff being deployed, he's been switched to a different unit.  Now, he doesn't really know what unit, but he does know it's in 4th Brigade and apparently, they are not deploying.  While Jeff and I were excited about being able to bank some money, not getting deployed brings another set of frustrations, etc...but you know what?  As frustrating as it is...I'm just happy that my husband will be in the states for a while and we will get to be together for a while before he is deployed.

Now we have to worry about when we really will be moving, because word is, Ft. Riley is wanting the families to move ASAP and if not, he will have to rent a place off base until this summer.  Bad thing is, we're only going to be getting BAH for Kansas and that will certainly not cover our mortgage and rent for an apartment up there.  We're not keen on pulling the kids out a month and a half from the end of the year, but I guess once we find out what actual unit he is in, we'll worry about all of that.  For right now, we'll focus on the positives!

Whoever believe military life is an easy one, they are certainly mistaken.  I'm not saying non-military families have it easy either.  We've definitely had our ups and downs before being "military".  Heck, the whole reason Jeff re-enlisted was truly because of the "job security" he would have and the training he would get for a job that could transfer into the civilian world, even though he's not really planning to get out.  There is just another set of issues and frustrations to deal with.  It's definitely a "what the military wants, the military gets", even if that means your sanity :)
