Eviction notices and besties
so its been a crazy week already and its tuesday..our landlord informed us she was evicting us because she wants to sell her house...REALLY? thats illegal to do that to a spouse of a deployed soldier..i mean she could have informed us months ago!! But a blessing has come out of this disaster a dear friend of mine has offered her home to live in until it sells which they havent had any bites in the 4 or 5 months its been on the market..I will gladly live there because its amazing! the boys will have soo much room to run around and we will be paying the same amount we are here for twice almost 3 times more than what we have here!!! So prayers were answered literally 2 hours later! AMEN for that! I am just disheartened that our current landlord is acting like this! Plus she said she is going to go to justice court and go the proper channels for an eviction notice! SERIOUSLY...we have done nothing wrong and I just dont want to deal with the courts right now! I am soo tired of all this stuff...oh well we have a new house to move into and we have been blessed by amazing friends who are willing to help! I love my friends..hope everyones day has gone well and after today I believe my stomach wont be in such knots after all this. Ciao!

The military spouse!
The good Lord was creating a model for military wives and was into his sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared. She said, "Lord, you seem to be having a lot of trouble with this one. What's wrong with the standard model?"
The Lord replied, "Have you seen the spec on this order?" She has to be completely independent, posses the qualities of both father and mother, be a perfect hostess to four or forty with an hour's notice, run on black coffee, handle every emergency imaginable without a manual, be able to carry on cheerfully, even if she is pregnant and has the flu. She must be willing to move to a new location ten times in seventeen years. And oh, yes, she must have six pairs of hands."
The angel shook her head, "Six pairs of hands? no way."
The Lord continued, "Don't worry, we will make other military wives to help her. And we will give her an unusually strong heart so it can swell with pride in her husband's achievements, sustain the pain of separations, beat soundly when it is overworked and tired, and be large enough to say "I understand" when she doesn't, and say "I love you" regardless.
"Lord," said the angel, touching his arm gently, "Go to bed and get some rest. You can finish tomorrow."
"I can't stop now," the Lord said, "I am so close to creating something unique. Already this model heals herself when she is sick, can put up six unexpected guests for the weekend, wave goodbye to her husband from a pier, a runway, or a depot, and understand why it's important that he leave."
The angel circled the model of the military wife, looked at it closely and sighed. "It looks fine, but it's so soft."
"She might look soft," replied the Lord, "but she has the strength of a lion. You would not believe what she can endure."
Finally, the angel bent over and ran her fingers across the cheek of the Lord's creation. "There's a leak," She announced. "Something is wrong with the construction. I am not surprised that it has cracked. You are trying to put too much into this model."
The Lord appeared offended at the angel's lack of confidence. "What you see is not a leak," he said. "It's a tear."
"A tear? What is it there for?" asked the angel.
The Lord replied, "It's for joy, sadness, pain, disappointment, loneliness, pride, and dedication to all the values that she and her husband hold dear."
"You are a genius!" exclaimed the angel. The Lord looked puzzled and replied. "I didn't put it there."
Sooo we are at week 8 of deployment that leaves roughly 44 more weeks left till he comes home. Sad thing about this unit is we have been told there is no r and r..please someone just give me some painkillers..I cant take that! So I hope everyone's Christmas plans are going along. Ours will be quiet and uneventful which will be nice. Do forgive me for not posting sooner. Life has been hectic which all of you can understand from your deployments you have endured how life has to go back into routine!
