So, I have Jenny Fugler to thank for the creation of this blog. A fellow Air Force wife and Northwestern Alum, she actually lived down the hall from me my second year of school back when she was Jenny Jeffery. We never got to know each other beyond an acquaintance basis, but our marriages into the military have created a bridge and forged a bond between us in the past months. I have so enjoyed reading about her and her husband's journey through UPT (pilot training), pregnancy and settling into their first assignment. I am so excited for what the Lord has in store for their family in the years to come.
I have so much enjoyed peeking into her world, that I thought it may be nice for me to offer the same since so many of my family and friends are living on another continent. So, this will just be a candid peek into life in England for Philip and Joy. Sometimes it's just nice to hear about the little things going on in someone's world. I'm all about the little things in life. Enjoy.

Choose Joy.
I've always been told that my name suits me well. Joy does not equate happiness. Happiness waxes and wanes with circumstances but joy is a trait, a decision. It is my challenge to live up to this - to be a thermostat of contentment, not a thermometer of others' reactions.
I've lived at more addresses than I can count. In Minnesota. In Colorado. In England. In Virginia. In New Jersey. In Virginia again. An address doesn't make a home.
I've stepped into and out of many roles in my life. Daughter. Sister. Student. Friend. Student. Wife. Military Spouse. Student. Student. Researcher. Psychologist. Supervisor. A role doesn't define a person.
Our journey has been a winding road. One paved by uncertainty, sacrifice, pain, hope, disappointment, gratitude, goodbyes, tears, heartache, loss, faith, victory, and celebration. I am humbled beyond words to have walked this road alongside of the precious people who have become a part of our story. The people who have walked with us through choking difficulty and immense joy.
This story exists because of the Author and Perfecter of our faith. It is my humble prayer that the chronicle of our days speaks most loudly to the Reason we live and love the way that we do.

Amen! to the little things in life! I'm all about it! :)
I'm excited to see you starting this as it's easier and just great to hear all these things of your life! My sister and her hubby just started blogging and it's been great to keep up-to-date on things that wouldn't normally be brought up in a phone call.
LOVE YOU and look forward to reading!

Yay! Just noticed that you had a blogspot from your facebook! I'm excited as well to read about your life. Although I do love blogging, I always wish when others tell me they read mine that I could read theirs! So, yipee! I'm excited. Cute layout, by the way.
