Prayers Answered and Prayers Needed

Hey Guys! Guess What!? I have a positive answer to prayer about joining the military. I get to go ahead and sign up here and go through DEP (delayed entry program, that is 6 months) here, AND I get to move when scheduled WITH James and then leave for boot camp from our new place. I was pretty worried that I might have to stay behind or go right before and then not know our new address and not have anyway to send or receive letters from James and that made me scared and sad and have a slight panic attack.
Another cool thing, when I swear in, James should be able to do that. That means so much to me and is so cool that my husband can do that with/for me.

Here is where I would still appreciate any prayers, encouragement, and positive feedback. I am going to take the ASVAB on February 1st. I'm pretty stressed, not gonna lie. It has been nearly 10 years since I had an algebra class. The most important parts of the exam are English and Math. The highest a person can score for the Navy is a 99, and a minimum of 50. I got a 57 on the practice test ya'll. I'm pretty embarrassed about that. They said that the practice test scores lower than the actual test, but I think they were just trying to make me feel good and join ASAP so they get their numbers or whatever.

After I take the  ASVAB I will be going to New Orleans to have a full day of paperwork and swearing in and anything else they need. I have already done the background check online and let me tell you, that was a JOB. There is a reason you join after high school. You have no history yet. In the past ten years I have moved 9 times! I have had so many jobs, they go all the way back to high school for that too. They also needed info on my husband, my parents, my brothers, and my in-laws. It just seems a bit excessive.

The other thing I need prayers and encouragement is my weight. I technically need to lose 11 pounds. I feel like she measured me tall though, so I may need to lose more. I want to lose 15 pounds to allow that leeway in case I'm actually shorter. I feel great right now. I'm a size 12. I'm more confident than the last time I was a 12. I don't feel fat, I feel normal. Therefore, I have lost my drive. The fact is I still NEED to lose weight. I just need some motivation.

That is what is going on. I'm excited, scared, nervous, happy, sooooo many emotions.
I love you.
