A few months ago Trevor and I made the decision to sign up for another 2 years with the Navy. We had not originally thought we would stay in the Navy for a shore tour, the Lord made it clear to us that this was the best decision. A day later we submitted our choices for our next set of orders. For those of you who aren't familiar with all this Navy stuff... Trevor is about to complete his second "sea tour." A sea tour literally means you spend your time on a ship and are in and out of port on that ship. On his two sea tours he has already completed two very long deployments and has another short one to go. When you go to your "shore tour" you work more normal business hours in an office and so you are not spending any time at sea(usually). We waited for what felt like an eternity to see where the Lord would send us next. About a month later we learned that we got our first choice and are headed to MEMPHIS!!!!!!!! Trevor broke the news to me by putting Irises in a bouquet of yellow roses. Trevor carries on a tradition started by his mentor of bringing home yellow roses with every new move or change in orders. I was ecstatic to learn that we were moving to Memphis and impressed by Trevor's creativity. I think those flowers were the most meaningful flowers I have ever received.
We are so thankful and we are so so excited. Trevor will be working in Millington and I am going to be job hunting soon! As things look now, I will be moving in September and Trevor will join me a few months later after his short deployment! We are so excited to be returning home. While this year(almost) away has been a huge blessing we are eager to be back with our families. We are so thankful for the Lord's provision and for His perfect plan!
