home sweet home

At last.  Vince is home from his first FEX (short for field exercise).  Weather was not on his side during their week in the field... he survived a downpour and a severe thunder storm!  He's home safe and sound now- just studying away for an exam, poor guy.

I kept busy all week working and visiting with friends.  I even made it to Annapolis to see the sweet Caldwell family.  I got to tag along for a doctor's appointment {the waiting room is a perfect place to catch up!} and we grabbed lunch afterwards with the whole fam before I headed back to my empty home.  On Wednesday, there was a spouse's luncheon where I got to visit with my bible study friends and meet some new girls, too.  They make finding friends pretty easy around here... it's nice that all of the wives can relate and that we are all looking to meet new people.  The week was good but it was long- home sweet home just isn't the same when Vince isn't around.  I'm so happy to have him back.

Last night, Vince and I met up with Mike Leek and his beautiful family.  Their two little boys are just so handsome!  We will be keeping their ministry and trip to Africa in our prayers.

We are missing all of our family and friends from home today and can't wait for our next visit home to see you! I'm wishing our houses were connected via secret tunnels so we could visit all the time :).  For now, an 8 hour drive will have to do!

  2. Hi Sweet Courtney in your Home Sweet Home :-)

    So glad the first FEX is over and Vince is home safe. It stinks he has to spend so much time studying.

    I’m happy you have the Caldwells near by and that making friends is so easy. It becomes an art form for military families and you’re certainly the fastest learner I know. Good to hear you made it over to see Mike, Alisa and the boys too. What a wonderful family.

    Looking forward to seeing you this weekend. Secret tunnels would be nice, but the drive is more than worth it.

    Your photos are looking more and more impressive with every post.
    Thanks so much for making the effort to keep us in the loop. We can’t imagine a more thoughtful, sweet daughter-in-law. You are amazing!

    We are truly blessed, and Vince is even more so.

    Love,
    Ann
