"For the earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." Hab 2:14

Interesting how definite this verse is...is does not say maybe, possibly, might...it says will. This verse brings back good memories of good times, good places, and good people.

Speaking of good times, places, and people, we have had a very good few weeks. I have been bad about blogging so I will see if I can catch up.

Jon and I went to Vancouver last weekend. It was interesting to be around SO many international people again. It brought back a lot of memories and stirred up a lot inside my heart. I have no other way to describe the feeling other than feeling uncomfortable. Not in a bad way but I can't figure out how else to explain it.
There is so much to do there and we are looking forward to going back and exploring more.

 When we got here the movers told us there was NO WAY to get the big piece of our couch into our home. So, we have been doing without it to my dismay for the past 3 months. Then on Sunday Jon decided it was going to happen! So, he took out the window in our bedroom and we fit it right in. My husband rocks and now my house seems like HOME. :)

Whidbey continues to grow and change.


Then this past Monday some ladies that I got to know through Navy for Mom's came to the Island for a visit. It was good to actually hang out in person with a few of the ladies that made Jon's time in bootcamp a LOT easier for me.


Jon's command had a picnic on Friday so we went out yesterday morning and had burgers and chips at 10:30 AM. A little early for a burger but I am thankful his command would make such an effort for the men and women working there. I think sometimes the Navy life can be tough but I am thankful for a command that thinks of their Airman/Sailors and makes an effort to do things for them. Jon there for got pretty much a 3 day weekend! Wooowhoo!


SOOO...since this weekend in Seattle is what they call Seafair we decided to head down to Seattle for the day. I had hopes of getting aboard the USS Kidd which was docked at Pier 66 while we were there and also to see the Blue Angels fly. We got to at least see the USS Kidd and got to see the Blue Angles doing maneuvers overhead on the way down and a little bit while we were walking along the water front.


Seattle is interesting and fun and I look forward to going to back as there is SO much there that we did not even get close to on our short visit. We did get to Public Market/Pike's Place and it was awesome. :) Thrown fish, flowers, and doughnuts!
