January 17, 2006 - Jonathan's Report Date to Randolph Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas
Yes, our orders came in last week. What a relief to know, and yet a sadness to know we must move so very far away. Exciting, too. Just about every emotion, actually. :) I am anticipating the next stage in our lives' Grand Adventure (as we call it). How much God must have in store... A new church family, new ways to serve, and of course new friends.
One blessing immediately is that we won't be complete strangers. Adam Boyd, who was a groomsman in our wedding (and Jonathan in his), and his wife Anna live out there as he's currently in Navigator school. So that's good news!
Now we must go through briefings to prepare us for our first Air Force Move. What you can take, what's reimbursable, etc. I've begun to take a critical eye to my house and ask "Do I want to move this, give it away, or trash it?" I've heard military moving is good on keeping clutter down, Hallelujah! :)
So now, all of you, we'll be home from about December 11th on, living in my parents garage apartment, going back and forth to Charlotte for stuff. This is the time I'd love to see you all and share some great memories before the move.... Email/Call me and we'll be sure to set something up!!!! Love & Hugs! -J & D-
