a little update on our situation.

Let me just start off by saying that i am so thankful that my husband is healthy. About a year ago Chris was diagnosed with a heart condition called SVT. It is nothing that is life threatening but it is something that needs to not be ignored. He ended up having to have heart surgery. After that was a long waiting game with the medical board. Chris and i had to live apart for 7 months waiting to find out if we would be staying in the AF or being medically discharged because he was stuck at tech school. Once we got the OK we moved to Delaware and since then we have welcomed out beautiful little angel Camden into our little family. He is such a joy and a blessing and i cant imagine life without him. We have lived here to 8 months now and we love it here. We do love and miss Texas but this expirience has been so wonderful for Chris and I. We have gotten to go off 1800 miles away from all friends and family and completely learn to rely on eachother. We have learned so much about ourselves and eachother as husband and wife and i wouldnt trade this time for the world. Chris went back to the heart doctor in august because his heart was still having irregular palpatations. The doctor put him on a loop monitor and we were fortunate enough to catch the beatings 3 times. Since then we have almost been expecting to be discharged again because Chris has made it clear that he will not be having the heart surgery again. Last time they gave us the option of either being discharged or taking the surgery so we can only assume that those are the same options. We went back to the doctor and she told us that the beatings are not SVT related and they are not extremely irregular so there may be nothing to do. She is going to put him on another monitor that he will wear 24/7 just to make sure that he is ok. I am very thankful and blessed that my husband is healthy but i am very ready to be off of this rollercoaster . The doctor said that there will more than likely be nothing to do and he is fine so we have decided as a family to take her word for it and completely move on from it. For the past few months we have been preparing, like we have many times, to be discharged and move back to Lubbock. We have dicided that we are going to be here for the next 4 years and we are very happy about it. No more wondering if we are going to be coming hmoe early or not. God definitely has a plan for our little family and it is becoming more and more clear every day. God has really put on mine and Chris' heart recently, college. We are both signed up to start back in January and we are very excited about it. This way, by the time Chris is done serving his time in the military, we will both be finished with our degrees and able to persue our dreams. Chris staying in the military is a blessing in many ways, it will be much easier for us to finish our degrees, It is a garantee that i will be able to stay home with my sweet baby, and we will get to continue growing as a family a learning more about eachother and how to rely souly on eachother without family. We miss our families but like i said, this has been an amazing time in our lives to be on our own. I am very proud of how much we have grown and learned thus far. God has a plan and i cant wait to continue this journey with my best friend and wonderful baby. Another blessing of Chris staying in the military is that in the next few years when we are ready for our second ( and last) child i will still be able to stay home with them. This time when Camden is so little is so precious to me and i am so unbelievably thankful that i am able to stay home and watch our little angel grow and learn more and more every day. I know this was a long entry but this has all been on my heart and i really wanted to share. Ending this note, we are very excited and thankful for the gifts that God has given us and will continue to explore and learn more about our new home.
