| Home Sweet HomeDear ones, I have just finished at least an hour's worth of reading, perusing all the Xanga entries you have written in the past month or two, and my heart is full. The truth of God's Word rings true: "Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another," and I definitely feel sharpened. Thank you for sharing the truths you've learned, for expressing your thoughts and emotions, for being transparent and allowing me to see Jesus through you and working in you. I am blessed. Wayne and I have moved into our apartment in Jacksonville, and he has officially left me the lonely military wife yet once again. He reported in to the School of Infantry yesterday around lunchtime, and oh how I've missed him since! :) But God is faithful, and I am so thankful I don't have to fear for his life or safety in any way, I know I will see him soon, and I am confident in his love and faithfulness. So hardships, come away! If boot camp was "quilt camp" for me, then I believe that this new period will be "writing camp." Big Mommie's book must be written, and now's the time. I'm scared silly and floating aimlessly, but press on I will. Pray for me. :) Love to you all. You are in my prayers. | | |
| Missing my LoveBut happy. God has been so faithful. You guys just can't even imagine. But these last few weeks have been a huge learning curve too. Man. So Wayne's doing well. Has a cold or bronchitis, so pray that gets better. And hurt his knee, so pray for that too. He misses me. :) I'm working at the TCC Writing Center, at least until finals are over with. Then it may end up being TCBY. But I'm still hoping for Dillard's. We need to do Sewing Circle. ~ Audrey ~ PS If you want to get Wayne updates, give me your e-mail address. | | |
| Well, friends! I have officially spent over 3 hours online today, and I am ready to get off the computer. However, the good news is that I whittled my Inbox from probably 75 e-mails down to 30, and actually wrote a few good notes. I checked a few important items I needed to check, and started my search for a place to stay during Wayne's graduation. Yay for accomplishment! So, Wayne has officially been gone 10 days. Today I received not one, but TWO letters from him. God is good, and so is my husband! Apparently he wasn't allowed to mail anything out until Tuesday, but he snuck a note (happened to be the second one he'd written) into a form letter they had to send. So I got Letter #2 yesterday with the form letter, and Letters #1 & #3 today. I feel officially caught-up and connected, and exuberantly in love with a certain soon-to-be-Marine! Job hunting is going well. I officially have 14 hours per week in the TCC Writing Center, starting Monday, plus whatever papers I can manage to nab & grade, so that'll give me 15-20 hours per week, I'm guessing. I'd still like to do something else, but we'll see what I can come up with. Haven't found any good OPS jobs, tried applying at Publix & still waiting, and not sure what else to look for. If you hear of anything, let me know! I'm definitely open to suggestion. To avoid wasting more of your precious time on the computer, I will continue this update at a later time..... ~ Audrey ~ PS I'm glad to be back in the world of technology, in spite of all its MANY frustrations. :) | | |
| Counting down the days So, only two and a half weeks until Wayne & I head south. We'll be in Pennsylvania for about 2 weeks, and then he'll leave for boot camp. 13 weeks without my husband....life sounds pretty lonely. But God is good, and I'm sure all my dear friends in Florida will entertain me and distract me. :) My mom & brothers went to Boston this week, toured a Navy destroyer and the USS Constitution, walked the Freedom Trail, and generally enjoyed themselves. Meanwhile, Dad & I held down the fort in Crawford Notch. Dad finished building all the picnic tables and stained the porch, while I stayed inside and froze and watched the register. Weird thing though; while my family was walking the crosswalk, someone yelled, "Hey! Crawford Notch people! What are you doing?" So they turned around and saw one of our regular campers who hasn't been here this year yet. Crazy. Feels like I'm rambling, so I'd better quit while I'm ahead. Ciao. | | |
