Transition Time

We are now officially in our transition between Navy Life Chapters 2 and 3! Being between chapters also means being between homes. Rodney says we now live in a mobile home: our car :) We have closed the door to our home in Chula Vista and are waiting to open the door to our new home in Okinawa. Except for the few things we have with us, our possessions are either on their way to Japan or on their way to storage.
Rodney ended our life in San Diego in a big way--- a 4mm kidney stone!! He woke up our last day in SD in big pain and ended up spending the day in the ER. Having had one before, we knew that's what it was and were comfortable to have a friend take him over so I could be at the house for the carpet cleaners to come and to finish the clean up. Pain meds and a few hours later and he was feeling much better! He had no issues on our cross-country drive, thank the Lord!! We drove to Waco, TX, to catch up with a few friends there. The best part was, Rachel was able to drive up from Houston to spend Labor Day with us! We are now in SW Missouri spending the next week with family and getting to see a few friends.
Rodney has a follow-up appointment with the urologist when we get back to SD; hoping and praying they give him the ok to go ahead and make the flight on the 22nd!! Also, hoping and praying I have my flight arrangements in hand before he leaves! I'll keep you posted :)
