I was looking at an "I Love the Army" t-shirt at the mall the other day and Jonathan pointed out that we would not be in the army much longer, which begs the question; do they make "I Love the Civilian World" t-shirts? If so, sign me up!
So, it's official, Jonathan is getting out of the Army. It's actually been official for a while, but today it became official official. And as military wife knows, nothing in the military is official until it's official official. ;) (and even then it can be subject to the needs of the army, but we won't go there) To tell the truth, for the most part I have liked being an Army wife. It's not always an easy life, but it gives you a lot of independence, a strong sense of self and the army wife sisterhood and camaraderie is something that I cannot imagine ever being matched in the civilian world. So, while I will not be walking away without shedding a tear and looking back longingly, I am looking forward to what this next chapter in our life will bring us.
Now onto the nerve-wracking job of finding a job in the civilian world. Please pray for Jonathan as he searches, applies and interviews.
I am a little bummed I won't be seeing him in uniform on a daily basis. :( Oh the things we are forced to endure. ;) and it did make for some good pictures:

Oh Lindsey! Once you are a "sister" you are always a sister!! I never would have made it though the deployment without you!! There are many that would agree that we are all better people for knowing you! I miss you now like crazy!!! Hopefully we will see you in a few years!
