No News is Good News?

Hey Boys & Girls,

A few updates from the Stegherr house hold. There really isn't much to update on! It's been just over 3 weeks since I saw Ian last. He's doing well in Germany for the most part I believe. He's started coaching kid's soccer on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. He's been pretty busy with trying to hunt down some means of transportation over there, because that will determine what kind of housing he could look for us, or just me. But it's important to be able to have a way to get around. Right now, I think he mostly feels a little trapped on the base. Because it's a smaller post, and also in the middle of no where practically, and most of the base is all deployed..it makes it seem rather desolate and isolated, I think. Ian seems to be keeping himself pretty busy though, with work and looking for transportation and housing for us, and also coaching the kids in soccer, as well as hanging out with the guys and families from his unit. (And I'm sure there are some video game nights involved in there as well!) All in all, Ian seems to be doing okay.

I, on the other hand, am trying my best to be patient and wait upon God's timing to get me over to Germany. But it's been a little rough on me. Being seperated from your spouse always leaves a bit of tension and strain upon your marriage. And unfortunatly, Ian and I have a life that leaves us with lots of time apart. So any prayers that people would wish to pray for us, you can pray for this:
-That our time apart would strengthen us and our marriage, and not cause us to drift further apart from one another.
-That when we are reunited with one another, the transition period into being back around each other would go smoothly, and we wouldn't hurt one another with bitter or resentful hearts.
-That, if it's God's will to get me over to Germany to be with Ian, that would happen sooner rather than later, and that I would have the grace and patients to be able to deal with whatever comes my way.

I think other than just missing Ian, everything is okay for the most part. I'm having a good time spending time with my parents, and doing daily life with them for a while. I went to school with my mom (since she's a 1st grade teacher) and helped her with her first day of school. That was fun. I've been camping with my parents and some extended family a couple of weeks ago, which was a nice trip. And helping my dad out around the house with things here and there has been fun as well. All in all, I have little to complain about, and everything to be grateful for.

Thank you for the support and prayers.

Sincerely,
Ashley
