Underway

Well...
This morning I drove Nick to the Coast Guard base on Sand Island, to the Jarvis, where he will be spending the next 90 days. With a kiss goodbye and a northface bag in tow, he headed up the stairs and onto his 378-foot, new yet temporary home.

Nick and I had the most amazing last week together (I will have to post some pictures of those adventures tomorrow). The Lord truly brought comfort to us both and we have so many wonderful memories, just from this past week!

After a handful of encouraging and confirming phone calls, I got excited that this new chapter in our relationship has begun. The unknown adventures that lie ahead uplift my heart because we have the hope that He who promised is Faithful and this Hope is an anchor to our soul, a hope both sure and steadfast. (Hebrews 10:23 and 6:19)

An "anchor" to the soul...think about that one for a while.

    Oh Becky, you are so strong. I am proud of you. God made you perfect for Nick in these situations and it is your faith and hope that will get you through. We know that with obedience comes blessings, so wait in expectation. I love you sister!

    I will be praying that the Lord is your strength and peace during this time away from your hubby. I have found when Nate and I are apart for even a couple of days, our marriage seems to grow stronger. May His joy fill you :-)

    Dear Sweet Becky....

    I remember that day in our lives 24 years ago... when David boarded the cutter for his TDA. I cried all the way from Florida to Tennessee, I think.. It felt like part of my body was leaving. Though I knew it was temporary, my emotions still felt it.

    You are in my thoughts today.

    Yes, God has AWESOME things in store for you both.

    Hugs,
    Julie

Christmas in July

All of our belongings arrived this morning! We have it all! Big truck, three huge crates and a team of 5 showed up on the doorstep at 8:45 AM this morning. They must have thought I was weird - as each item came through the door I got the hugest smile! Like "oh, there is the table from the Hargroves...and there are the couches...boxes of wedding gifts I have not opened yet!..." you get the idea. Here is our bedroom before... and after! Living room before... And after! Kitchen before... And After!! The movers only took one hour to get it all into the house. The first thing I did when they left? Sat down on the couch in the living room. I just remember sitting on them at the parent-Dellar's house and all the fun times I have had at their house; the BBQs, the prayer nights and Bible studies, cuddling up on them when Nick was gone (in Kona, Cape May, Virginia, Honolulu). And NOW I am sitting on them in our house here! I just couldn't believe it. THEN the thought entered my...

The Best Things In Life Are For Free

Well not completely free, actually this chair was $2.00 at a garage sale down the street, and the paint was $10.00 at the Home Depot. the cool life ring we found in the dumpster, and its from a Panamanian Ship, so really it is the only thing that was for free. so all together I guess $12.00 is not so bad for a little beach flare around the house. The drift wood and coral were free! Here you go Mom just like I promised, my newly reorganized closet. And for all you male bloggers out there (So you don't pull my Man-card) My Alpha Black -Dual weaver tactical rail mounts with fore grip. -Raised scope rail mounting system. -Nc Star Red dot sight. -And a Black Hawk 1pt tactical sling.
