bon voyage!

bon voy·age (bôN vwä-yäzh)
interj.
Used to express farewell and good wishes to a departing traveler.

Yes, today I bid farewell to my loving and salty sailor husband. A new patrol, certain to be filled with new places, new sights, and new adventures. I was very encouraged as I pulled away from the ship this morning - my heart was filled with excitement and joy in the unknown. Excited to see what the Lord has in store in these next few weeks. A few of these words echoed in my head as they were brought to remembrance this afternoon...


Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters; They have seen the works of the LORD, And His wonders in the deep. 
Psalm 107: 23-25

A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not why ships are built.

More to come soon.
The Lord's timing is perfect. 
-Becky

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.
