Member of the US Army, but more importantly God's Army

Many of you may be confused as to what Rob is doing right now. I am going to answer that question. Rob is still in Iraq. We are unsure of when he will be returning do to a possible extension of his tour. He is a tank mechanic, but really he works on whatever he is told to work on. We all wish that he didn't have to go at all and was home right now, but orders are orders and obviously this is what God had in store. We both want to be obedient to what God is calling us to do. When Rob returns he will have a few months and then he will get out of the Army. The kids and I have obviously already found a home in Arlington and our plan is to permanently be in Arlington when Rob is done. So far God has made it very clear that we are doing the right thing. Our prayer right now is that Rob will find a job with good pay and benefits when he gets back. He has some options available, but of course it all depends on where there are job openings. We ask that everyone be in prayer for us that we are making the right decisions and would continue to trust God. Thanks to everyone who has sent Rob care packages and letters. We both appreciate your thoughts and generosity. God's Blessings to all.
Here are some pictures of our much loved soldier hard at work (most of the time working).
