Biloxi Round 2

This past weekend we went to Biloxi, Mississippi to go to a car show. This is the second year in a row that we have gone and this year was kind of a bust. The reservations for our room got messed up and it rained on and off during the car show which made it hard to see all the cars. Since we were kind of bummed on our way home, I wanted to stop and see the U.S.S. Alabama Battleship that is on display in Alabama's harbor. Matt was hesitant to stop because he wanted to get back home since there was a long drive ahead of us, but when I made my sad face, he decided to stop. I think we both enjoyed exploring the battleship and learning about it's history. They also had a submarine on display there called the U.S.S. Drum. The Battleship and the Submarine were put into use in the 1940's. It was so neat touring the vessels that once held our military members from the past. Seeing this made my weekend all the more sweeter.

4 More Years...

Yes, it is official...Matt has re-enlisted in the Air Force for 4 more years. After months of praying and wondering what God wanted us to do, we believe this is the direction he is guiding us towards right now. Matt had applied for numerous jobs outside the AF and within the AF, but nothing was opening up for him. So, staying in looked liked our only option. I am grateful for the clarity of the decision because I had been praying that God would make things clear for us so we would know what to do. So, we'll just see where things go from here. Matt should be up for orders to move to another base hopefully sometime soon. :) We will make sure to keep all of you posted! Take care everyone and thanks for all of your prayers and support for us!
