Is that your final answer?

So, Cory received orders yesterday to report to Korea no later than 10 February 2010unaccompanied for 12 months. You just read the previous line correctly.

Many of you know that we have been praying and discussing for quite some time leaving the military for a career in the civilian police force, hopefully Austin, TX. When Cory's orders dropped, he had until the end of the day to make the decision final: deny the orders and thus tell his command he is separating in December of 2010 or accept the orders to Korea and leave for 12 months when Adley at most 6 weeks old. Long story short, the only reason Cory contemplated staying in the Air Force was the financial security net it provides as he does not have a job offer yet because we are 15 month from actually separating. Therefore, after counsel from wise mentors of ours, friends, family, and where we believe God has been leading us for some time,Cory has told his command to deny the Korea orders as we are separating in December of 2010.

Awesome thing about this entire situation: I was already planning on going to work at 11:30 instead of 8:00 and thus Cory could come home and we could talk and pray before making our final answer. And so, please pray for us as we embark on the unknown. Our largest fear is no job offer yet, but we know full well that God provides and has never let us down. Specific prayers: Cory interviews for the Austin Police Department in February. We want this job and would love to be in Texas for the heat, the culture, and the family. However, we also wants God's will, so please pray for that. The options are limitless now. So exciting!

And by the way: did anyone see the Broncos record? We are one of four teams still undefeated!! 6-0 BABY!!

5-0

That's right! My Denver Broncos are 5-0. And yes, believe it or not, the image is a picture of the ugly uniforms both teams played in today!

The odd thing about this 5-0, I still don't have high hopes. Every time Orton throws, I cringe. And now, I am not too sure if the the special teams can be trusted. Go figure. Better not complain though; the Broncos are 5-0!

The best part of this weekend too; it continues tomorrow! Yeah for Columbus Day and no work tomorrow. Cory and I officially have no plans; hopefully we will continue to get healthy as we are both recovering from a cold. No fevers thankfully, and Adley is doing fine as far as I can tell.

We also registered this weekend at Wal-Mart for baby items and are gearing up for the shower in November when my mom and the Donatells will visit. Then Knops are coming for Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then Adley. OH MY GOODNESS! Time is flying by.

Enough of the random; hope you had a great LONG weekend too!
