A Knight's Life: New Beginnings

Well, it has been over 6 months since I have written anything here... and it is so hard for me to believe that I have really been in Memphis for 6 whole months now. Its amazing how time flies! So much has changed in these past six months. Trevor and I are both settled here in Memphis... finally! Trevor said goodbye to shipboard life and hit the road in mid- December. He started his new job in Millington at the Navy Recruiting Command. I am really LOVING that he comes home every night!! We have gotten to spend so much more time together than we did while we were in Norfolk... and we are so thankful for that! I started my new job as a nurse in the Cardiovascular ICU at Germantown Methodist hopsital. I truly feel like the Lord opened this door for me. It is an incredible unit and I work an amazing schedule... no more nights or weekends. I absolutely LOVE my job. The people I work with really are incredible. I just can't say enough about how thankful I am for such a wonderful job!! We are getting settled in now... finally... and life seems to be settling down a good bit. We are loving feeling like we have some sort of routine!

One of the greatest blessings of being in Memphis is the gift of being with family. Trevor and I are both really close to our families and we both felt that it was very difficult to be so far away from the people we love most. We are so thankful to be here... with family. We have particularly enjoyed spending so much time with Trevor's brother Ethan and his wonderful wife Grace. Grace and Ethan have been one of the greatest blessings of being back in Memphis. They have selflessly welcomed us, included us and loved us. They have been such an example of Christ's love to Trevor and I. They both have meant the world to me. They have gone absolutely above and beyond to reach out to us and include us. We are so thankful for them!

Trevor and I have spent MOST of our free time working on our home... we have many many projects still to do... but we are excited about the hard work we have been able to put into our home. I can't wait to share some of our "home improvement projects"... coming soon!

For now, here are a few pictures of this place we now call home.......
