We have a plan, hopefully

So Chris and I have a plan and this plan will only work if I have a teaching position and if he stays in the army another few years after his current contract. But it's a plan we are both really excited about and something we truly believe is the right thing for us. Hopefully I will find out within a month or so if I have a job for the fall and he will know soon about reenlistment.

We want to buy some land about two miles up the road and build a house. We wanted 5 acres but we are only going to be able to get 2 from the people we want the land from. But instead of having the extra room for the horses, we can use their land for our horses that we want to have. I only want two horses, one for me and one for Whytney. Well Whytney's horse will most likely be boarded where she rides during the week but that will be a long time before we can afford that. It is a plan that involves a lot of work and a lot of cutting down on things so we can pay bills but it is the best thing for us. I really love it here and don't want to move. I want to teach here and just be happy. And that is what Chris wants too. He can reup for where he is at now and we can still see each other on the weekends unless he is deployed or whatever. But again, this is not set in stone as I do not have a job yet and we don't know about his reenlistment yet.

On that note, we don't get to see him this weekend. He found out today he had staff duty and then found out they changed it from a 24 hr shift to three 8 hour shifts for seven days. So he is working through next Monday. It's retarded but hey, not much we can do. It gives him time to practice the song he's singing at church on June 7th and also to learn the song that we are going to sing together at church.

Life is hard but it's what it is. I hope that this plan works for us, but it may not be God's plan. We will have to continue to pray and see what God's plan is.
