First day at work!

Hello all! Just an update about life here. My first real day at work was today. It was....Well, actually it was a bit of a disaster! I don't want to bore you with the details, but lots of things added up together to turn my 12-hour shift into a 14-hour one. After just one day, I've already got a pretty long list of system failures at this facility. Please pray for God to reveal His wisdom. I am really not sure what to do at this point. Right now, He's saying, "Wait and see. You will know." Haha, I can be pretty dumb sometimes though! My prayer is that I will know the answers when I see them, and that I won't be afraid to follow down the path He has for me.

Anyway, that was vague and confusing, so on to more upbeat themes. As I said previously, Wilson's ship is on its way home. They are 2 time zones closer already and moving this way quickly. He actually pulled the ship into port recently. He was nervous, but excited that he was able to do it. I also found out a little more about his job on the ship. Well, he actually has 2 right now: OI and CICO. CICO is Combat Information Communications Officer. He basically keeps tabs on the activity of other ships and such around them and helps get that info to the right people. This means that sometimes he gets awakened in the middle of the night, which bugs his wife considerably. He'll give away the CICO job sometime around January when a new person comes in. His other job is OI, Operations Information officer. In this capacity, he helps with personnel scheduling as well as the scheduling of drills and tests that take place at sea. He really enjoys the OI stuff and is excited that this is the job he will keep. I like it too because he knows a lot about what's going on! He really likes his boss, co-workers, and sailors and is having a great time. The countdown marches on, only a couple of weeks left now!! YAY!!

I am making good friends here as well. My church is wonderful and so are the Navy spouses clubs. Such a great resource and encouragement! Thank you all for your prayers and support. God is so faithful!

I am going to bed. It's been a crazy day!! Love y'all!
