After many long months of indecision on Chris's part (I say Chris's because I knew what I wanted him to do all along...)my wonderful husband decided to re-enlist again for one more term at least just to support his family better in these awful economic times. Though we have tried really hard sometimes to save money for "the future" (I say sometimes because we do well for a few months and then find something that costs more than what our paycheck can afford and we dip into our savings...shameshameshame I know) the money we had saved from agreeing to be here for the extra 3rd year (which is so not worth it if anybody was considering it) is just not enough to cut it for supporting a family of 5 and who knows maybe 6 one day and put food on the table. So we still do not know where our new "assignment" will be and I'm sure there will be many heartaches along the way with all the changes in Chris's job assignment field lately, but at least we know we HAVE to be in the states somewhere...and hey anywhere sounds wonderful to us after being here for just a tad too long!! Thanks again to our wonderful friend and church member Brother Stokes for going to all the trouble of giving Chris and our family such a wonderful re-enlistment "location" and just being our family's friend overall!!
