One more week

This time next week we will be on our way HOME! Thank God. I can hardly believe that it has been 7 weeks since hubby left. We must be nuts to be away from each other so long. But our love is stronger than ever and can't wait to see him. Talked to dad last night and he is so excited. I can hear it in his voice. I will be so glad when we are all HOME again. Keep us in your prayers.

Only 10 more days

We only have 10 more days until we go HOME. I am so excited. I can hardly wait. Everythingis pretty much packed and ready to go. My dad is excited too. I talked to him tonight and he has a doctors appointment tomorrow for blood work. I am glad that this doctor takes time to explain things to dad. He is already counting the days too. I am glad that he wants me home. Hopefully this will work out for all of us in the long run. God Bless and keep us in your prayers.

What was he thinking

With only 2 weeks left before the move the oldest one has decided that he would rather return to Virginia and go to a community college. I knwo it is all about a girl but he is throwing his life away. He has the grades that if the applied now he would get in to the winter quarter at Ohio State one of the best colleges in the country. And he wants to go into the medical field. Ok, Ohio State is one of the top colleges for medical. What is he thinking? He is not. Please God just tell me it will be ok.I just hope that he will change his mind before he turns 18 because the girlfriend is only 16 and all heck can break loose. His father is ready to kill him and I don't want that to happen. I just want my family back HOME!!

So Much To Do....

Well, here we are 2 weeks from the move. I am trying to get this house ready to move out of while hubby is getting measurements and getting the new one to move into. And at the same time feeling alittle emotional. While we are in the middle of a move, the oldest one is so confused. He is graduating in 2 weeks and still has not decided on what to do afterwards. I feel for the kid but it is own fault. He knows deep down inside what he wants but has a girlfriend that is infuluencing him. Hopefully, while he is in Ohio with us it will all come to him and he will make the right decision. If not then he is the one who will have to suffer the consequences. Oh well. I am just happy to be going HOME to take care of my father and have friends and family around me again. I am miserable here except for the people I work with. They are like a second family to me.Wish us luck and keep us in your prayers.

Finally a house!!

We finally found a house! Thank God! We are coming HOME!

No House Yet

With less than 3 weeks to go we still do not have a house or place to live once we get to Ohio. I don't know what we are going to do. All the boxes are packed and the house is down to the bare necessities. I am totally frustrated. Every one that we have looked at and liked we have had to fill out an application and wait to hear from the people. We can't wait much longer. I have already put my notice in at work and told the landlord here that we are leaving the end of the month. I am so frustrated. And to top it off, our oldest one, that I thought had his plan in order, has changed it completely because of a girl. Please God help me. I can't take much more stress.

Hopefully will have house

Hopefully this will be the day that we get our house. Hubby is meeting with the gentleman at 6pm tonight. I pray that we get it. And then I will feel better about moving. Please pray for us in our journey home.

3 1/2 Weeks left

With only 3 1/2 weeks left we are finally getting things together. Hubby ended up with 3 cars last week and made some money in the process. We think we found a house. We will know definitely on Friday when hubby gets to see the inside. Please pray that everything turns out alright. The house is only 6 minutes from dad and has a fenced in backyard for the dogs. Just when I am getting ready to leave we are working entire weeks again. Isn't that always the way things go? Oh well, just more money for moving home. Things are going better but we are still not confident on things so continue to keep us in your prayers. God Bless us all.

Four Weeks To Go

With only 4 weeks to go, we are still not sure of where we are going to live. I have called on several houses but it is hard to find someone that will take pets. It will come. With the grace of God it will come. Hubby has finally decided on where he is going to work. He is going to stay where he is at. Thank God. He has sold 2 cars and waiting on a 3rd so he is making money.
Dad is doing better. He met another lady today that wants to go fishing with him. Finally someone that just wants to do simple things. That is what dad needs. He doesn't have a whole lot of money but still wants to go out. Maybe, with the grace of God, things are finally starting to turn around. Please keep us in your prayers that from here on out it as smooth as possibly can be.

Bad News

Dad got a phone call today that was distrubing to me. His prostate doctor called and said that his count is high so they want him to get hormone shots for the next couple of months to see if they can bring it down. I don't understand it but ok. So I got him directions to the office and he seemed to understand them lets just hope he can find it ok. Hubby is doing ok at his job but still not sure of it. I hope he is ok with it we only have 4 1/2 weeks left. It seems to be going faster now. Before long we will be HOME hopefully.

Bad Weekend

Well, it was a bad weekend. Not for me or hubby just dad. His memory seems to be getting worse. Plus the fact that he is eating something that is making him run to the bathroom. I am just glad that hubby is there to keep an eye on him. My poor father could not remember one of his favorite restaurants and what he ate. I am so glad that we are only 5 weeks away from going home. Please keep us in your prayers.

Time

The time is going by so slow now. I thought that once hubby got to Ohio that it would start moving faster and now it seems to just stand still. The house seems so lonely when I am home by myself. I guess it will all be for the better when we all get HOME. Hubby doesn't know if he really likes his job yet but at least he is working and can still look elsewhere. Dad is doing good and is glad that hubby is working and trying to find a house. It is still hard because of our animals and I am not getting rid of my dog even if I didn't just spend 400.00 on her because someone hit her with their car and drove away. I guess one will turn up when we are supposed to find it. Wish us luck and keep us in your prayers. I only worked 5 hours this week and it doesn't look like I am going to work any more this week anyways. Oh well, such is life. I can wait to get back HOME.

Still Looking

Hubby is still looking for a house. But I know it is going to take time being that we have pets. I don't care I am not giving up my animals I have too much money invested in them. He is very excited about starting his job Monday though which is great.

Dad is doing good. He got out of the house today and got some running done. I am glad that hubby is there to watch after him too.

49 days to go

Exciting News

Well, today hubby called me at work to inform me that after one day of job searching he has a job. He gets to start on Monday. That is great news. Now that he has a job we can start looking for a house. He says that he is going to start looking tomorrow. He made a valid point you don't want to look for a place to live and tell someone that you are just moving back to the area and don't have a job.

More good news dad may have found us a house. He said that a friend of his knows of a 3 bedroom older house that will allow us to have pets. He is going to get me more details and get back to me or tell hubby about it.

Dad is in a good mood today again. He was watching Tiger Woods playing golf again. He loves watching golf and would like to play again. Hopefully he can get back into it.

The oldest one went today to pick up his tuxedo. Can't wait to see him in it. Hard to believe in less than 2 months he will be graduating. Where has the time gone. My baby is all grown up. He had to work tonight and their father said that I can't tell any of them about his job until he talks to them all at once. So I told him I would call him once they were all here. It may finally get going on the right track for a change. Something will go wrong it always does. I am prepared for it. Please God let it be smooth from here on out. Keep us in your prayers.
50 days to go

Another Day Another Drama

Talked to dad last night and he went to the prostate doctor. They said that everything was fine which is always good news. Hubby went for job interviews today and they all looked promising. He said that he might have a pick of where he wants to work which would be great. I worked all day yesterday and again today. There should be enough there for me to work all day tomorrow also. I am glad that it is finally picking up but is just a little too late for me to stay. Dad needs me to help take care of things back home. He is still active and going out with friends but I can tell he really wants me there to help with the bills that need to be paid and balancing his checkbook. I want to be there for him too. Well not too much longer. I pray that hubby will be able to start working soon and find us a house. Oh well prom is Friday and the oldest one is happy. Can't wait to see him in a tuxedo. Graduation is 51 days away. It is going faster now. Wish us luck.

The Start

Hubby left today at 3pm. It is the beginning of the long journey apart to get HOME. I hope we can do this. It has been hard on me. I miss him so much because for the 18 years we have been married we have not lived apart for more than a couple of days. This is going to be 6 weeks. I know we can do it but it is something we are going to have to get used to. Dad is looking forward to him being around though. At least now when he has a question hubby can go and see what he is talking about. I took the day off today to spend with hubby so I am back to work tomorrow. Thank godness.
54 Days to go.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone hope it was nice. Ours was uneventful except for the fact that the 2 oldest ones have to work today and hubby is leaving tomorrow evening to go and get started. I am going to worry about him driving by himself. I don't recall him ever driving the 400 mile trip by himself. I know he will be ok though. He has to go so he can go to his interviews and get things started for us to move HOME. Dad is doing better and he didn't know where he was going to go today. I will call him later this evening and wish him Happy Easter and see how he is doing. When I talked to him last he was just enjoing the weather and getting out of the house. I guess with the weather his spirits lifted too. It is hard to tell when it will be a bad day but for now I will enjoy the good ones.

Its a Good Good Friday

Dad has had a good couple of days. He went out with his friend the other night and has been in a good mood ever since. I am glad. He said that he would help by getting hubby some pants and shirts for him to start work. Hubby is thinking of leaving Monday evening so he can get a head start on work. I am glad everything is finally starting to work out.

Nice Wednesday

Dad had a nice night last night. He got to go out with a friend of his last night and he enjoyed himself. I am glad. His doctor told him that he is going to give him something because his ears are itching but he also recommended him to an ear-nose-throat doctor. They sent him some papers and he doesn't want to go. I told him that if he didn't want to go then he didn't have too. He was in a really good mood that is always good for me. I got to work today for 6 hours and working tomorrow for 3 hours. Then we are off until at least Monday. I can't believe that it has gotten this slow. I sure hope it picks up by next couple of weeks. I can't wait to go HOME.

Quick talk

I only talked to dad for a few minutes this evening. He was getting ready to go out. That is a good sign for him. He was happy and said that everything was fine. Just glad that he is getting out of the house. I get to go back to work tomorrow for 6 hours at least. That is also good. But don't know how many hours I will get the rest of the week being that Easter is Sunday. Oh well. Everything will be ok I guess. Until tomorrow.
