Just Three (sort of) Words...

GIT 'ER DONE!

Nick, Emmy and Hannah make late night drop-offs look good.

Nick deployed overseas on Friday night.  Luckily, he's supposed to be home around Labor Day weekend.  I was relieved to learn that he will pass the time pushing pencils.  I would give anything for him to be next to me, but I am so grateful to him for answering the call to do his job (which I'm certain involves more than manipulating writing utensils) on the other side of the world.  Thank you, my love.  As much as my following paragraphs might plant a seed of doubt, I promise to hold down the fort(s) in your absence!

I seem to have picked right back up where I left off with my deployment luck. (Or rather my overly-dramatized reaction to obstacles that test my self-sufficiency.)

We got fantastic news just four hours before Nick's drop-off time--We have a sale pending on our home!!!  It is incredible, incredible news, for which we've been praying for months now.  God NEVER ceases to amaze me with His blessings and the timing at which they come!  We are so incredibly relieved to have this contract, and continue to pray that everything goes as smoothly as possible moving forward!

Some of Nick's parting words for me was that he believes the time should pass quickly with all the work I have to prepare the home for our closing date on August 29th.  Something tells me August might be the most fast-moving month of the year (except if Emmy's toddler-bed sleep training fails and a bunch of teeth erupt from Hannah's gums, in which case it might be the longest yet...)

In the words of Emmy Horn, "Let's do this!"
