He Is Faithful!


Print by: EmilyBurgerDesigns@Etsy.com



This last 3 weeks I have really had to trust an rely on the Lord for provision. The military gave us 3 weeks notice regarding where my husband Bright Eyes would be permanently stationed after AIT. That my friends is not alot of time to search for a place to live . A place that you have to basically agree to live in without seeing it. But the Lord is Faithful and He has provided!! We were approved for a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom town home located in a good community. We will not be living to far from Ft. Lewis or too far from a hospital. The Lord also provided me with the wisdom to choose the right Obstetrician for care and delivery of our baby. And we also feel that the Lord has lead us to a good Church in the area, through good friends in Christ who recommended a visit. We are excited to get there! We are determined to trust in the Lord throughout this move, and this new career. We appreciate all the prayers given, and ask for more prayer during our long trek to Washington..... please.

Apparently There Is Always More Country To See

My husband and I finally found out his first Duty Station. He will be sent to Fort Lewis Washington. I moved to the East Coast with some of his family to get closer to where he thought he may be stationed, because odds were that there was a higher chance of getting the East Coast. I also wanted to be closer because I didn't want to traverse the entire country halfway through my pregnancy.  But I guess God had other plans. I will diagonally cross the country and add six new states to my list of states that I have been through or in. Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Oregon, and finally Washington will be on my map. Before getting married I pretty much had three states under my belt, New Mexico my home state, Colorado, and Texas. But since marriage it has exploded into a ton of new places I have seen and traveled through. Just check out my map and how it has changed. It has been some crazy times mostly good ones but I am ready to settle down at least for a couple years.

Before I even met Bright Eyes, three States.



One year nine months after marrying Bright Eyes!



Two years Eleven months after marriage.






This will be the complete map of states come February.
