To move or not to move, that is the question!

Today's date is May 7, 2009. In 43 days, Ty will graduate from the advanced portion of his school. It is the day we have been waiting for for over a year now. It is the day that means we will not only have financial security when/if we decide to leave the Navy, but it also means that we get to leave Texas. Or so we thought.

A few weeks ago, the Navy released a statement saying that they were over-manned and under-funded. What does that mean for us? In short the only way they can think to cut the cost's for the rest of this fiscal year, is to postpone any personnel moves. In other words, unless we are told differently, we will be here in Texas until October. We still have no idea where we will be moving, when we will be getting orders, or even at what point we will be moving once the Navy gets re-funded. It's bittersweet for us. We have made some amazing friends here, and it will be nice to spend some more time with them. At the same time, we were really looking forward to getting back to Navy life (as opposed to stinky Air Force life!) and to (hopefully) being closer to our family. Please keep us in your prayers.

In other news, my doctors and I are still searching for the cause of my mysterious illness. At this point they have ruled out any tumors or cancer (thank goodness!). I go to see the Rhuematologist on May 19th, and she should be able to start making sense of it all. I may go see a nutritionist as well, and try a gluten free diet. A few of the things that my gastroenterologist found when he did my upper GI scope were indicative of Celiac's disease, however, the pathology revealed no conclusive results. It is fairly common to have both blood and biopsy testing come back negative if the disease has been active for a while. Pending what the Rhuematologist says, I will try this avenue.

Also, I start court reporting school on June 8th!! RPR here I come!!

The kids are doing great! They are loving that it is warm during the day so we can play outside! Faith (and Ginny!) loves to play with bubbles, Noah is partial to throwing anything and everything he can get his little hands on! I, however, like to play with the chalk ;-) Faith and I have also taken to a bit of gardening, if you can call it that. We have planted a few pots of flowers, and one of herbs to cook with! Faith loves to go outside and water and talk to them.

Well, that is about all I can think about right now!
