A Phone Call

Who knew a phone call could mean so much.

Aaron and i got to talk on facebook for just a few minutes when he first made it to Kuwait on Thursday. He was doing well, just tired from the LONG day of traveling and hungry because he didn't like the airplane food at all "it smelled bad" he said haha. I was hoping to get a phone call or meet up with him online again before he left there for Afghanistan but had no such luck.

From some of the other army wives whose husbands have deployed with him, i've been able to keep track of where he most likely is. Those women have been lucky enough to get calls almost everyday from their husbands. I had not been so lucky. I must have missed the memo telling me to send Aaron with a calling card. [live and learn]

It's been almost a week. And i feel like a baby (i feel like im whinning) waiting for him to call...i have my phone with me every second of the day and have it on loud just so i won't "accidentally" miss a call from him. My heart leaps every time i hear it ring.

AARON FINALLY CALLED!! I had been praying for this night and day since he left Kuwait. Last night especially, i was aching to hear from him and i stayed up till 1 just praying and praying that he would somehow get a chance to call me soon.
GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS! This morning at 1:30am i got a phone call from him. Sadly i was so out of it we didn't talk but for 2 1/2 minutes (literally) and i cannot recall much of what was said.
But that's OK... I can't do anything about that now. At least I heard his voice and it made me happy!! Now I'm waiting for the next phone call and i pray that i'll be alert enough to actually have a decent conversation with him. And im also praying that he'll call soon...even though it's going to be hard since he doesn't have a calling card yet and is relying on other people's "precious phone minutes"

** I'm trying to stay positive. It's pretty hard, but im hoping to get involved in church and a Sunday school with some people that i can fellowship with and have a support group.

Married to a Soldier!!

I went to New York to visit Aaron during my spring break in March. I had only intended to stay for a week and head back to school but things changed. Aaron and i decided to get married while i was there. March 19,2010 Aaron and i finally became Man and Wife. :)
Let me tell you, after much waiting, much debate about waiting even longer, and much prayer we were both happy with our decision. Yes, we did miss having our parents and siblings and some friends being a part of our big day, but we're planning to have another ceremony for friends and family to witness the "renewing of our vows" when he gets back.







I ended up staying in NY for a little over a month. Thankfully, we had some amazingly generous people that allowed us to crash at their places and invade their family and togetherness time. I can never thank them enough! I got to meet a lot of amazing people while i was there and hopefully made some lifelong friends.

Aaron left for Kuwait 4/22 (Thursday) and he and his group arrived on Friday. They're now supposed to fly to Afghanistan within the day. So please pray for him and his group. I had the opportunity to meet a few of the guys Aaron is going to work along side with and although they are some nice people, there are many who are desperately in need of Jesus.

I moved back to Waco so that i could be closer to family during this time that Aaron's going to be gone. We both agreed i should be close to home for a good support system. Right now im living with my parents while im looking for an apartment and a job. Hopefully i can keep busy enough so i won't be too lonely without my husband. He's only supposed to be gone for a year so im praying this year goes by extremely fast because i miss him sooo already!!
