It has been awhile since I wrote, I know. I have been busy sewing like a crazy woman, and still have a lot to do. The sewing is good, as long as I take breaks and sew something different, I don't get tired of it (yet). It also helps to bring in some extra money, to help pay down some debts.
We have found though that we may be turning into a military family. The girl informed us a couple of weeks ago, that she is going to enlist. She is not absolutely certain which branch she will join, but she knows which bases she would prefer. We have a recruiting officer in our reenactment group, and he is working with her to determine what to do. It looks like we will have two military kids, and the third thinks he wants to join when he grows up, too. Do you count as a military family when the parents are the ones not enlisted?
We have also had some stress here. Around the time mom went to Calgary, our instructor car died. We managed to get a new one, and it is wonderful. We thought things were going to settle down, but now we have to find a new classroom. This came as quite a surprise to us, but our landlord has decided not to renew our lease. This might not be too big an issue, if we were in another industry, but driving schools have to be inspected by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario, to change locations. That can take awhile, and really is the stressful part of this change. I guess we will just keep going and see how they work out, it can be hard though.

Beiing in a re-enactment group that does military re-enactments is pretty close to being in the military. You are just relivi8ng the old military routines in modern times.
If the girl wishes to go military she could do worse. But then again, she could do better in some civilian role in life. Being female in the military is a tough job because there is not necessarily any definite definition of what is female and what is male for assignment roles. She could end up doing exactly the same as the male members of the division. She will also have to be twice as good as the males to be able to gain their respect.
As for the youngest member washing to join the armed forces, don't worry too much about that just yet. He will experience lots of other things that may interest him before he is old enough to make that decission.
Take the time to teach him the gosple principles and lead him towards those things that are more in harmony with those teachings.
