Weeeellll... lots has happened in the Cline household since I posted last (sorry we had some computer issues and some BUSYNESS issues) but anyways.... Josh had 10 days leave and we spent most of our waking and sleeping hours attached to each other.... on Monday July 2nd we had a BLAST going to the local water park (nothing like wild waves... haha...) it's got 2 water slides.... which Emma is about an inch too short for still :( but momma and daddy had a good time!! heehee!!
But on tuesday we putted around and did some odd ball stuff during the day and that night went to the City of Clarksville fireworks show..... it was nice.... got eaten a little and we were WAYYY too fried to be wearing jeans and attempting to sit on the ground!! haha.... Josh had white lines from where his waist line of his shorts to where short legs ended and everywhere else..... RED.... and me i was fried on the front of my thighs and on my shoulders...... but it's gone now thank goodness!!! but miss Emma... she just keeps getting browner and browner!!
Anyways..... the 4th we went to the Fort Campbell family day....
Daddy tried to teach Emma some tricks of the road....
But she's too cool for that..... just sit back and enjoy the ride!
They had people jumpin out of helicopters (josh's friend who is on the team actually announced that day but didn’t jump)
and lots of fireworks and fun!!
Hope everyone had a GREAT 4th of July!!
On July 5th I actually started a temp job w/ a company called Facility Services Management Inc. they do government contract work on military bases all over the country and in Iraq at one of the hospitals. The corporate office staff is made up of 4 women + me!! So I worked all day on the 5th and 6th while Josh and Emma ran around and got signed up for day camp and all that stuff! On 07-07-07 we went down to Nashville to Titan stadium to “The Call”….. it’s wasn’t really what we expected but we spent the day all together and tried to stay cool! (it’s an outdoor stadium and it was ohhhh 90ish?) Anyways Sunday was church and then we went back into Nashville to meet my 2nd cousins from Kansas City, Mo who were also in town for the call…. We had a great time chatting w/ Tim, Jan and Daniel (well Daniel didn’t say much but that’s okay!!) so Monday the 9th it was off to work for Josh and me and off to CYS (child and youth services) day camp for Emma…. And oh boy has she had a BLAST!!! They’ve gone on field trips almost daily….. to the water park, to the art museum, to the library to watch a magic show, to the roller dome (skating rink) and many more adventures! Well Tuesday was a day of packing up Josh’s bags and last minute treats from Wal-mart!! And Wednesday was the day of goodbyes…… We said goodbye in the morning…… at lunch…. And after work! Josh actually left at about 6pm for JRTC at Fort Polk, Louisiana. He will be there until August 2nd to the 5th some time so it’s been kinda hard being the first official time away from each other because of the army. Every one at church thinks I’m pretty strong for moving all the way out here…. Leaving my friends and family…. Trying to find a job and a place to live and my way around…….. annnndd then my husband leaves!! Haha…. But it’s not been too bad….. REALLY!! Lol… Well on Thursday Emma and I went to the growth group at church… Friday we had pizza and movie night (blockbusters been a good hang out!) Saturday we had girl time aka I got lost in Clarksville and drove in circles for about 90 minutes! Lol (sounds better than and hour and a half!) but we finally found the freeway and our way to the mall! So we went shopping a bit…. Got our nails done…. Annnnnddddd then came home and watched a movie! Josh finally called on Saturday night and we talked for about an hour until his buddies couldn’t cover anymore for him (it was also 1130pm) heehee…. Sunday was church and a little more shopping that I did get done on Saturday and then we got a call from some of our friends at church… it was really nice to just go over and hang out! Emma and the 2 youngest girls went in the swimming pool and had a blast!! Anyways today is Monday my OFFICIAL first day at FSI. It’s so nice to have a job and know that I’m going to be going back there tomorrow (with temp you never know). But we are just going to hang out this week….. There are a few prayer requests on our list right now that we’d love for ya’ll to pray with us still:
1- we are still 204 on the list for base housing and are now considering buying a house here in Clarksville. I actually found one I like but now we need to find out if we can qualify for a mortgage and get enough to buy the house.
2- Goes along w/ #1….. where to put Emma into school. I don’t want to move her in and out depending on where we go. The school zone (or what elementary school she has to go to if we live in the condo) isn’t TOO bad…. But their test scores aren’t GREAT and they’ve got about 300 more kids then the school down the road….. It’s the school that is in the neighborhood of the house I found…. But yeah…. Just guidance of what we need to do,
3- That we will stay busy and not be too lonely and bored without Josh around.
4- That Josh will stay sane down at JRTC. They weren’t allowed to bring game systems, computers, phones (even though everyone has one…. Lol), or any other “toys”. He’s working a lot and being unsure of exactly when he’ll be home is difficult.
And I think that’s about it right now. We thank you all for your prayer, thoughts, emails, and phone calls!
Anyways we miss ya’ll lots and love ya’ll too!!!! And I’ll try and do another posting sooner than this one came!!
Love lots
Kim and Emma Rose
