Life can Be hard - we just have to trust His plan...

This is Mike, my DH and a very dedicated dad and Airman. He has had an amazingly hard year and has been rolling with the punches, but the blow last night about brought him to his knees. He has been trying for a year to cross train into flight engineering so that we can have our dream house - a log cabin on 10+ acres. We gave ourselves 2 years to meet this goal and it is hard to believe that a year has past already. Well, the flight pay, combat and hostile fire pay and the job that I get after I graduate from UC Davis next summer would finance this dream... he has been waiting for the AFPC to send him his package and class date for 7 months now...

Well, they sat on it, all of the flight engineering spot got filled, Mike's crosstrain was disapproved ~ just like that... no answers just "Sorry, it took so long that all the spots filled up, you can always try FY09."

The guy who told him was such a prick~ I don't like to call names, but he was a real jerk about it...

Anywho, we don't know God's plan, but he has made this transition of ours amazingly difficult -nothing comes easy to us, there is a reason, we just don't know yet. But the dream is worth it, we will persevere!
