WOW!!!

WOW!!!!! I can't believe how fast time has flown by. August was just day after day of wondering if Matt would be home to spend any time with Clay and I. We have gotten to the point where days seem to disappear one in to the other here. His job has turned into our prison. This constantly being on call is for people that have no family or anyone in their lives. We never know when the phone will ring or if it will. We have to stay within a certain radius of the airport in case it rings. We can't go anywhere where we spend money to do anything like a movie or space center or anything else cause the phone could ring after we pay and before even half way through and then we just wasted alot of money cause a plane broke down. Our only outings unless Matt demands time off is out to eat and to the store. It isn't good for any of us. HOWEVER, God is working. We have a new job offer contingent on drug test and security background check. The drug test has been completed and fine which we knew and security should be, too. We have been told we should know something by tomorrow. HOME!!!!!!!!!!

I am still trusting John 16:33 and Romans 8:28.

Well, we had to go home for the weekend of my birthday so we could do some things and then on the 29th!!! We celebrated my 11 year old nephews birthday and we couldn't miss it. It was the day of the annual water fight!!! Yep, you got me right. Every year we can make it there is a water fight on David's birthday. This year, Clay took part. He did well. His Daddy accidentally got him and at first was about to get upset then just let it go and started trying to get everyone else. He is such a cutie. After the water fight, he started playing in the mud for the first time. Alice got those pics as I didn't get there in time. I will have to get them and post on here.

For the month of September, I got sick with the flu, from where I have no clue and then Matt got it. Just thank God Clay didn't. Even through all that Matt had to be on call. He only had one or two calls. After all the sickness was over we took off Saturday the 12th and took Clay the only place we have been able to take him all summer and that was to see his favorite, Thomas the Train. OMG! We got up early and he kept wanting to watch Thomas. I kept telling him we were going to see him but I dont think he really understood until we got to Nashville, TN and we were walking to the main gate and I pointed out Thomas as he was leaving to take kids on their ride. He saw him and from that point on he was only interested in Thomas. Since then there are two questions always asked. We go to pick Daddy up or take him to work sometime and he will see where and start asking "go plane again?" " Eventually, we will" the other, "go see Thomas" "We will next time he comes right now he is busy at Island of Sodor doing stuff for Sir Topham Hatt" so now whenever we aren't going to see Thomas he asks "Thomas at Sodor" "Yes" Needless, to say you now know what he is doing. Since then it is just work. We only took a few hours off that day. We get back to AL and he is back at work.

Please be praying that the news we hear this week is good!!! I will be posting water fight videos and Thomas pics soon. My pics with Thomas aren't great but only ones have till can order the really good ones.
