Frustration Level  

Posted

My frustration level is at an all time high with housing. We were bumped again by another Key & Essential person. My contact at housing says this person wasn't expected until August. I know that housing must be a hard thing to anticipate, but for the person right at the top close enough to touch a house, but not grab it it is very frustrating. I really have to turn it over to God. I have no control and the roller coaster emotions on top of Terry being gone aren't very healthy for me. It is difficult enough with your spouse being deployed, and add on the disappointment every time someone bumps you really can make you depressed. We are at our lowest level since we got on the list 7 months ago. That makes perfect sense doesn't it. Anyone with any words of advice please leave a comment. I could use the wisdom.

Two things...there is a reason for the timing. We don't know why, but hopefully it will be clear why later. I know it doesn't make it less frustrating. At least you might be able to have Terry home to help with the move. That would be a huge help right?

We can relate and I agree with the first post...there is a reason for the timing. When we arrived we got stuck in the guesthouse here for 3 months because the family vacating our assigned house couldn't move. Ultimately another set of quarters opened and we took it. Not only is it in a better part of the neighborhood (proximity to park, field and woods) but the set we were to have occupied burned and the family lost almost everything. At the time we were very bitter, now we thank God for our good fortune. We love you guys!
