A Soccer Voyage

To catch ya’ll up to speed on this one:

Joe applied for a spot in the try-out ranks for the Air Force soccer team. He wasn’t sure if he’d be accepted based on just a paper application, but he was, and today our little family of three drove to Lambert Airport to see him off to Langley AFB in Virginia.

We don’t know what the next week or so will hold, but we are praying for all to go well. Good news: he landed safely and is ready to hit the ground running first thing in the morning. The first cut is tomorrow night. While our family is no stranger to traveling parents, this is the first time we’ve sent Joe off not knowing exactly when he’d be back.

Sydni and I budgeted the rest of our day to running some errands, grocery shopping, and cleaning up around the house. We’ll get this place spic and span by the time daddy’s home. We made a pitstop at the mall to snoop around, and found ourselves waltzing out of Build-A-Bear with a "Daddy Spideyman Teddy Bear," as Sydni would have us call it.

It's going to be an interesting few weeks: we wish our Airman the very best luck, and ask that you all continue to send prayers his way for strength, patience, and understanding.

We will! J
