Re-enlistment and Orders...

Hello to all...
After much prayer Joshua has re-enlisted. He officially re upped for another four years on Wed August 4th. We are both really excited to see what God has in this next tour of duty and are trusting Him to lead the way. We also have received our new orders. Hard to believe that we have been in Fargo for close to two and a half years now. The time has gone so fast. It has been a real blessing to be closer to family. We both know that we are going to miss that. And know that we will realize once we are gone and pinching pennies for airline tickets how nice we had it =) Any how our orders are for Camp Lejuine, North Carolina. It is located in Jacksonville right on the coast. We will be about two hours from Myrtle Beach and I think something like four hours from Virgina Beach. If that gives you an idea. We are so excited. We have been praying for months and we know that the Lord has worked everything according to His perfect will and purpose. I know our friends in Fargo want to know if we are sad to leave this wonderful, snowy place =) To them yes we are. We have been so amazingly blessed with the friendships that we have made and with the community that we have been able to be part of. You know the winters have always been rough. But Joshua and I have both agreed that Fargo North Dakota is a wonderful place to raise a family and call home. We will miss it more than any of you will know. But Lord willing we will someday, be able to visit again. There is something special that God gives you though when you know that you are following Him. That inner peace that passes all understanding. I can truly say that we will miss Fargo but that we are so excited to go to North Carolina and see what is a waiting us. It is as always bitter, sweet. We ask that you please pray now as Joshua prepares to put in a package for a warrant officer. The package has to be in sometime after the first of the year. He feels that he should put in the package and request to be a range officer. This is a huge deal. A very big selection process and a very big honor if selected. Also he would be non-deploy able. I know that may sound a little selfish. But hey,I am human =) Oh yes I almost forgot our Transfer will be sometime between mid January, to early February time frame. We love and miss y'all... Thanks for your prayers.

Love,
The Brown Family
