Well...there is some major thinking being done at the Peel house right now. I'm putting it out there so that we can get virtual support during this time, and also because for some reason everything makes more sense in my head when I write it out. So...
This cute man is ending his six year contract with the army soon. Can you believe it? Six years! And I've been through half of it with him already! We've been talking for quite some time now about resigning or not. Tyler knows how hard drill weekends are on me. So he's been saying he's fine just letting go. But I don't expect him to do that. For a few reasons. 1) he enjoys it, despite how much he pretends not to when it stresses me out 2) hes made it almost six years without a deployment, so in some crazy way he feels like his service isn't comparable to others 3)the money helps 4)health insurance rocks..and i want to have more babies 5)resigning bonus..and so on and so forth. So we've now been praying and considering whether to have Tyler resign with the national guard and have him continue with a civilian job, or whether to tie ourselves to the army completely and sign as active duty. There have been lots of things considered. We know that we will be relocated after Ty goes to Texas for 16 weeks of training (not sure if Hallie and I would go with him or stay with family). It breaks my heart to know I would be taking my baby away from family members who she loves and who love her. But both Tyler and I grew up away from our grandparents for quite some time, and if anything we know it just makes you the favorite :) My number one desire is to be able to give Hallie (and our other kids once they get here) what they need, and most of what they want. I want to give them the best life possible. And I have an overwhelming feeling that this path is what the Lord has in store for us. Nothing is set in stone yet, so if your reading this, don't get upset of the thought of us taking Hallie away (I know she's the only one who matters) but Tyler and I would appreciate the support as we make some big decisions of what will benefit our family the most.
