Life is a Roller Coaster so Hang on!!!!

Yesterday was one of the biggest up and down days I have had in a veryyyyyyyy longggggg time. I learned so many different things first, never put off what's important today for tomorrow (this does not include dishes and cleaning), and second, dont believe anything until it is in writing. We wanted to tell everyone differently about our news but things don't work out as planned. To keep things as simple as possible this is how the story goes. David come home from deployment. Something happened out at the deployment (dont want to go into much detail). Went back to work and did not find the same satisfaction as before. We prayed and discussed what we both thought and decided it was time to try and change to the Active Component of the Army. This is where I learned dont believe anything. He sent in the paperwork, guard released him, put it into active and we were told that he would remain in Aviation and we would move before Oct. 1st. So we called our landlord (actually a few weeks before he gave us an ultimatum) and told him we were moving. I have been packing up everything in the house we wont need to take with us and waiting for hear where we will be heading. Yesterday, David went down to MEPS and everything changed. Army does not have a position in aviation open for him in his rank, so they told him he can go artillery or cav-scout. He decided to go Cav-scout and will leave on Nov. 10th to go to training, leaving me and the kids here until he is done (our original plan until we were told we would be gone by Oct. 1st). We will then get our PCS orders and learn where we will be moving to. Yesterday, the only thought that went through my head was "we are going to be homeless". David called up my landlord and we can stay (even though he had someone lined up to rent the place) small miracles do happen. So everyone in Utah is stuck with me and kids until Feb. The good part is with trainings he can come home for Christmas. So instead of unpacking (haven't packed the clothes yet) we are just going to leave everything in boxes and live this way for the next few months. One more winter in Utah. So yesterday I went from moving, to homeless, to back to where we started living in our house. What an emotional day and week. Now it is time to focus on saying Goodbye to Gramps and relishing in his life and what an inspirational man he was. Close your eyes and hang on...life is full of fun, being scared, and wondering what comes next but at the end it all levels out. (Sometimes its a little ride and sometimes its a big one). Just remember to have fun!!!!
