- this is the last group of people deploying that go for 4 months.. every other group that deploys after him will have to go a minimum of 6 months.
- By the time Jon gets back, i'll be done with school!
We know that there is a reason this has happened and we're trusting that God will show us why...
We also found out today that Jon was denied volunteer orders to Cannon. :( Again, we are having to trust God on this because we are both very devestated about it. We just know that God has plans that are far better than anything we could ever imagine or plan ourself; and if it's not supposed to happen, it's because God has something better in store for us. There are still a couple options we have as far as getting orders to Cannon. We have it listed as our #1 base of preference and we can keep an eye out on the military data-base for people that currently are going to cannon that don't want to be there. We could possibly trade orders with them if they want to come out here to Florida. We aren't getting our hopes up on anything, but secretly, we still desperately want it to happen!
Anyway, as far as official dates for Jon being gone, we aren't too sure yet. We're thinking he'll leave somewhere around the 14th-15th--but it hasn't been confirmed. As far as a return date, we have no idea. We think it'll be right around the time of my graduation, which is January 15th.
But i'll do my best to keep everyone up to date.. and i'll post pics that Jon sends me while he's over in Iraq. Thank you all for your prayers and support through this! It was just so unexpected and knowing that we (I) have people that will help us (me) through this is such a comfort! If anyone is wanting to take a vacation to Florida anytime soon, let me know! I would love the company!!! :)
