When I was in the second grade, my teacher had a toy treasure chest that was filled with treats and fantastic goodies. Every Friday, if we practiced appropriate second grade behavior throughout the day, we were able to pick a new treasure from the chest to take home. All of us could sense when the time was coming. We waited not so patiently at the edge of our seats right before the announcements came on and before we gathered at the door to walk out to our bus. Mrs. Esther would call us one by one to pick from the treasure chest as we all remained eager with anticipation.

This week was a “treasure chest” week. It was a week filled with little moments of anticipation, pleasant surprise, excitement for the future, and contentment that we made the right decision. It was a week full of not so random blessings that have made my priceless faith in God, richer than before.

Our family decided about a year ago that Steve would not be reenlisting for another four year term in the United States Air Force. It was a hard decision, but it was based solely on the fact that no potential six month deployment overseas would be worth missing the growth of our family and the bond we currently have. We know that many families have served great military careers and survived through many deployments, but for us this wasn’t a question of survival, it was a decision toward growth.

And so it began…the job hunt! And it was rough to be honest. There was stress and there was worry and there was great concern that Steve wouldn’t find a job…and that was just the part I played. It was scary for me to go from the security of the military to the unknown of living the civilian lifestyle. I have been attached to the military practically my whole adult life and I knew we could be throwing ourselves into the ugly pit that is our country’s 9.8% unemployment rate. There was daily and nightly prayer until, this past week, Steve was offered a position that he couldn’t turn down. It certainly isn’t Steve’s dream job, but after we talked about what it would mean for our family to take that position, everything just started falling into place and the waves of peace began crashing down. God has plans for us in Delaware and we are both very excited to see how we will be able to help our community as official “Delawarians”.

And now for a treasure chest of Addisyn pictures…

This one is for Uncle Jon because ever since he taught Addisyn to stick her tongue out, you can rarely find her with it in.

She has developed quite the silly personality. She enjoyed walking around the room with a straw in her mouth because she saw that it made us laugh.

    No kidding…she is a little Jordon! She is so beyond adorable walking/jogging all over the place, but she got her first bruise on her head from a wipeout.
