New Adventure: Life is Fun

So Our new adventure has officially started... Though it may not seem like it since we went back to see mom for her birthday and I go back to work in the office for a week this next week. So maybe after that it will be more official.

Anyway we are now in Twenty-nine Palms... The heat is killer on you for the first few days, but then your body gets used to it and wal-la; you are acclimated to it. Right now I am sitting at our dining room table with a lap blanket on and it is already 80 degrees outside. I shouldn't be cold but I am... Fun how things like that happen.

So we are living in a temporary apartment until housing opens up. When we first got here the wait was only a month but now the housing office is saying that it is a month to 2 months. That is a bummer but I know that God works miracles and my husband and I are praying and believing we get housing by the 1st of August. We know it will happen, God will open the doors, I have no doubt about it.

Right before we left on our new adventure we lived in our old apartment for 2 weeks without anything but the barest essentials. That was an adventure in itself. Life is fun.

Always remember that God will work in your life for the better. God is always on TIME, Not our time but His, which is perfect. He will open the Doors to put you where you need to be.

God is Great! Kathleen Marie

In the days to come

Ah the Military wife life. Yes, I am a proud Marine wife. No, that does not define who I am.

So last week my husband got new orders to go to Twenty-nine palms. YUCK! I am coping with it the best I can. I can tell you it's gonna suck but I am going to make it the best. It's a new adventure for us. 

So a little over 5 months from now I will make the trek to the middle of the desert. What a lovely place. It will be the first time I am truly away from my family. I am very close to my mom and brother (All my family as well but they are the closest) and I only live ten minutes away. Well now I will live 2ish hours away from them. It is totally better than living across the country from them but still a bummer. That is going to be the biggest adjustment. The relationship that I have with my mom is very strong.

I have to leave the job I have worked at for three years when I finally leave. I love my job, not many ordinary people would have gotten the opportunities I received with taking this job. I worked on a movie set, I met Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, anyone?). I also got to meet his son. My job has been a great blessing for me and my family. I love all my co-workers. Though luckily for me, my boss is going to let me work part time from home while in Twenty-nine Palms. Ah such a blessing, so not fully leaving but it won't be the same.

Though this is a big adjustment, I know that God has a plan for my life and He knows what he is doing so I have no doubt that this adventure is going to be an awesome one. God works in our lives, whether it is in big ways or small ways, He is working in it to make it the best. This adventure will allow me focus on my husband and myself and growing our marriage to be the best that it can be. We will see how God works in our lives when the time comes...

Blessings,
Kathleen Marie!
