To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under the sun.
A time to be born and a time to die;
a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill and a time to heal ...
a time to weep and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dance ...
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to lose and a time to seek;
a time to rend and a time to sew;
a time to keep silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.
-Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
This year will be holding a season of change in The Richards Household. Jordan received an email from the FBI on February 4th, letting him know the current status of how his background packet was going & what not. They let him know that they would be starting his background packet on February 7th. They also let him know that the May academy was full & that they were going on a "freeze" until August. His academy will start in the fall, late September-early October. WOW!! That was kind of hard to swallow when he told me. We had been waiting to hear the specifics of when he would be leaving for a while, it kind of felt like it wasn't going to happen anytime soon. Little did we know ;) We are calling this "our little adventure", we are trying our best to embrace the change that will soon come. We are determined to enjoy the time we have together before he leaves, we are going to fill it with family, fun & adventure. The more memories made, the better!! :) We are so happy that we will at least be married 1 year before he leaves, we originally thought we would only be married a couple of months. With everything that has happened the past few months, I am so happy that didn't happen. God has the plan remember! :) We are hoping the 5 months will fly by & we can find out where we will be settling down for the next 2 years. Until the time comes for Jordan to leave, we are going to embrace life & live every day to the fullest.
Our wedding photographer put a couple of our edited wedding pictures on Facebook yesterday, here is a little preview...
