Great News!

Wonderful news! Chris passed his second course in his Masters of Divinity. It was History of Christianity 1. It was very hard. I watched some of the DVDs and it talked about things you would be shocked to hear. Anyway, he will start his 3rd course Monday, it is Apologetics I believe. He has 5 books to read for an 8 week course.

Meanwhile he is at Fort McClelland this weekend for drills. He left out at 5 this morning. I always miss him so much when he is gone. I hold on to everything of his I can when he is gone. I wear his shirts, smell his pillow, the works. When he leaves out for drills, he leaves ridges in the carpet where he has walked with his boots on and I make a point to walk around them so as not to make the boot print go away. I know it sounds silly to most but I love my man with all my heart and even if he is gone just for one night it feels like eternity.

As he put on his boots this morning he felt something in them. He looked inside and Alana had filled his boots full of pennies. She was making sure her Daddy was taken care of. She is such a doll. Evan was awake when Chris left out and watched him put on part of his uniform. It is amazing how much you can love somebody. Chris has definitely got all the love he will ever need.

Anyway, I am going to bunk with Mom this weekend. I get bored in the house by myself. I try to go out and keep my mind off Chris being gone.
Even though I get lonely without Chris, I am never truly alone. My Father in Heaven makes sure of that.
