This month, Darren lost wifi in his work tent, so we can't talk as much as we used to. He still has it in his living quarters, thank God, so that doesn't affect our 2 daily video chats. I'm just thankful for how much communication we do get. Just 5 years ago, we wouldn't have been able to talk as much. I think it helps me, and him, that we do get to talk as much as do. Nevertheless, talking and cuddling and playing is always much better in person though. I honestly don't know how I've made it this long without him. I have never wished the time away like I have these last few months, and it makes me feel bad for wishing the days that God gives me away. It kinda all just seems like a blur. When he comes home, I just want to cherish each day.
I also have exciting news to share this month! I accepted a new job offer at a company in Winfield. I'll be working full-time in their finance department. This is a huge answered prayer for our family. I love where I work, but I've tried and interviewed three separate times for full-time work here to no avail. Changes are good though and I'm nervous and excited for this change, but Darren tells me it will be ok. We even are talking about buying a house in Winfield now! In month 8, I will have more to report on my new job and how it's going. Month 8 will also be our last month to be apart. He will be home for month 9! Blessings all around.
