Stresses of Moving

Well I am at about 38 days until I start the next chapter of my life. Stress right now is through the roof. The good news is that we already have a house worked out to move into. However, I am still trying to line up a job, need to finish out processing the military, pack up the current house, etc. There is so much to do and sometimes it seems over whelming.
Reality though is that the check list I have to complete to separate from the military, long as it might be, is fairly easy to do. The hardest thing is driving all over base to go to the various different places. Yet I find myself dragging my feet and having a hard time motivating myself to get it done. I can't figure out why.
One would think that being this close I would be all over it like a fat kid with chocolate cake. Yet I am not. The military is all I have known since being on my own. Getting out and becoming a normal civilian again, honestly scares the crap out of me. Maybe that is why I am having a hard time. But a part of me also wonders if I did have a job lined up right now, would I be knocking this checklist out of the park?
Unfortunately with this economy nobody is hiring more than a few weeks out. This means reality is no one is going to be offering me anything for about another month. So I am separating from the military, planning on moving, signing all the official paperwork to separate, doing all this in faith that God will provide me a job so I can begin working shortly after arriving at our new home. 
Needless to say, I am pretty stressed right now. So many questions, so much to do, etc...
The only thing I can do is take everything one day at a time. I have decided today to go out and knock a good chunk out of my checklist. Maybe that will help with stress some. So off I go and having faith that God will provide a job so I can start working when I am desiring to start working. I figure this, if this is what I was meant to do, then He will line everything up for me.
Now, off to go get some outprocessing done....

It's Been a While!!

Ok, it has been a while since I have posted any new posts. Every once in a while Life decides to throw a lot of curveballs all at once. The last few months for me have been nothing but curveball after curveball. It has been one of the more stressful times in my life. I probably should have kept posting as it would have offered a more healthy way of dealing with the stress. I instead shut down, bottled everything up and bit by bit began working on what I needed to inorder to get life back on track. I have never been accused of always making the right choices. :) Oh well, whats done is done and the point is I am back on. To say I got knocked on my backside would be an improvement. I got straight beat down, run through the mud, backed up on, repeated cycle, etc. Yet sometimes in life we need these times in order to realize what we have been doing wrong and fix them before its too late. Now I am a Christian and believe very much in God. So for me it was more than life just throwing cu...

My Dog's a Tattle-Tale!

So, an incredibly funny thing happened last night that I have to share. I am seeing now why they say that dogs are mans best friend. I have two dogs...well I have a dog and my wife has a dog. My dog is a Beagle mixed with Basset.  He is a good dog, very protective of the family and yet one of the most sentimental dogs I have ever seen. For instance if one of us is sick in the house or sad, he picks up on that and stays near them until they feel better. He is very loyal as well. As long as everyone is fine, he is never very far from me and if I move around the house, he is typically not far away. The only time he is not near me is at night, when he decides its bed time. Then he goes to the pillow in my bedroom and stays there the rest of night no matter what I do or where I go. That is his way of him saying, "You're on your own dad, I need my beauty rest." He a good dog and we are a perfect match. My wifes dog is a Yorkie. A ten pound, yappy lap dog. At first I hated thi...

I am Back With What Men Think....

Novemeber was last time a wrote anything and now its almost the end of June. Where has the time gone? I guess time flies when you work as much as you can, take care of the family, bills, house, etc. Blink twice and a year goes by. After hitting a proverbial brick wall recently, I learned that it doesn't matter how strong you are, the mental stamina one might have...everyone needs a break at some point, time to just unplug and take some time for themselves. So I took a couple of days off work and did absolutely nothing and am now using this blog to continue what I had been wanting to do with it, as well as, use it to take a little bit of time for myself here and there and do something I enjoy while the rest of the world waits for me to finish (as long as its not an emergency that arises). I have been reading the news as I always do and have noticed there seems to be an increase in articles for women based on what men think. Most I agree with but s...
