Well, it seems our excitement over our new assignment was premature. While looking up information on the base, we learned that as of last month, all assignments to Lajes Field, Portugal, are now 12 month, unaccompanied tours. This means that Emma and I don't get to come. This was not indicated anywhere on the information we had about the orders, we just stumbled upon the information on the internet. They are basically cutting base personnel in half, and expect all families to be gone from the base by June 2014.
So what do we do now? Wait. Steven has called the base back home, and we are waiting to see if we can get the orders changed. There is no possibility that we could still go there with him (unless we move ourselves, but we would have no access to medical care), but we are hoping that he can get new orders all together. It is kind of a long shot, but we are praying to the One who is in control. We will update when we have more information.
