Ending So Soon???


It is crazy to think that our time here at Jack's Inn is coming to an end! In the beginning, 13 weeks sounded like forever, especially when we thought that we would not be able to join Jason. What a blessing it has been to get to stay here with him for the past two months and get introduced to the Army way of life.




An unexpected blessing this summer was the families we have met here. Who knew that what was meant for a very temporary, transitional time would lead to such sweet friendships. The fact that we are all in the exact same boat has allowed us to really click with a number of families. The kids have had so much fun with their "Jack's Inn Gang." (And they really do look a little intimidating when they are all on their bikes following each other around the parking lot!). With these new friends they have gone swimming, taken classes, played on the playground, rode bikes, had a kool-aid stand, a pretty amazing kid party, and some fun sleep-overs! What a summer!!



One week from today, Jason will graduate from Chaplain Basic Officer Leader Course. It is so exciting, yet completely overwhelming! We are anxious to begin this new chapter as we head up North, yet so sad to leave our new "normal." But, it is an adventure! And I'm looking forward to seeing what lies ahead for us in the next few weeks.
