Starting Over....

Hello to everyone out there who may (or may not) read this.  It has been too long since my last update, so I figured I would let you all know what's going on with us.  Since my last update, we moved across the big pond and are currently residing with my parents.  I am reminded of my teenage years, as we have no vehicle at the moment and I need rides everywhere.  I love spending time with family and making up for the last six years having been virtually absent due to the Army.  Travis is transitioning really well.  In fact, he is taking civilian life a lot better than I had hoped; I couldn't be more proud of my warrior.  We are currently waiting to hear back from the VA and the Social Security Admin. about his status, but we are confident in what the Lord has promised and we know all our needs will be met.  In the meantime, I am filling out applications and getting my resume into the hands of employers everywhere.  It has been nearly 4 years since I have been employed but I know the perfect job out there is waiting for me ( I just have to find it!).  We recently rented a nice car and spent a few days at the beach of Lake Michigan.  It was great to see how TJ reacted to the water and sand.....he didn't like the sand at all.  We also went to the Coast Guard Festival, we got a little nostalgic seeing people in military uniform but it was nice seeing people support their own.  We also were blessed to find a palce to worship this past Sunday and it was so nice to be in the house of the Lord once again.  There is something to be said for worhiping with like minded people in Christ.  It is so easy to slip back into the ways of the world when we are out of the body of Christ.  I am so very thankful that we obeyed God and went to that church.  We are already excited to see how the Lord will use us to do His will.  I believe Travis may be co-pastoring in the near future!!  I miss my Baumholder peeps something crazy!  Some days it is hard for me to accept the fact that we aren't a part of the Army and some days I am glad for it.  I know we will run into each other sometime in the future, after all the world is only so big!  So that is where we are at the moment; transitioning, catching up with family and friends, looking for employment, and looking for our own space.  I want to start gardening.  Anyone have any tips for someone with a not-so-green thumb?  I am looking forward to the future, I know it can only get better from here.  Keep in touch, let me know how you are doing.  TJ misses his church mommies and all his lil baby besties and their mommies!  Love from the Moser's to you!!
