Another New Wedding Date!!

Well Everyone, ONCE AGAIN, we are announcing our wedding date! I'm not going to say what I did in the previous blog entry but I can definitely tell you that this date is truly a gift from God and we are certainly pursuing it with much more detail. Alright, drum roll please....

August 9, 2008 - will be our wedding!!!

Mark your calenders because hopefully (I won't say definitely) this is the final announcement! Once you get the invitations with the date on it you will know it's official! :)

Jeff and I are just so excited! On April 5, we are starting counseling sessions with our Pastor (the one that's marrying us), we are looking into apartments near Geneva, and our reception hall is booked.

I have to tell you the story about the hall. Since Aug. 9th is only a few months away it was kind of a test to see if this is really what God's best was for us. My dad called June, the reception lady (who is wonderful by the way), and asked about the date. She said she'd check her calender and get back to him because there were so many people who have booked around that time. When she called him back this is what she said (not exact words :) ), "I have every single date in August booked solid except for AUGUST 9th!!" Wow. God definitely is good and I'm so thankful!

We are planning on getting an apt close to Geneva for Jeff's first semester next fall and then we will move back into our house afterwards. It's going to be a long commute for both of us but we are just so excited and aren't even thinking about the commute right now!

If you think about it, please pray as we get all the details together that God will keep working in amazing ways and just show us where we need to be. It's amazing how God is truly so sovereign and loves His children with a love we can't even explain or imagine. I have seen His love for me and Jeff so evidently through everything and I'm so thankful for what God has done in our lives. And I thank Him for putting all of you in our lives! We love you much and can't wait to celebrate our new lives with you! Love you!

More fun times!

Hello Everyone! We are finally posting again! So many lovely things have been happening I can't even think of where to begin!

First, Sarah, Stephen and little Adam have been such a true joy to have around! I can't even say how thankful I am for them! I am enjoying them more than I thought would be possible and I'm so thankful they are in dear ole PA! God has truly been good to me by surrounding me with such blessings! Check out Sarah and Stephen's blog to see some new pics of Adam. :)

Also, finally I am able to post our pics from Mom C's birthday! We had such an enjoyable evening! We were able to go to a wonderful restaurant (one of the best!), see the amazing show Amadeus and have cake and a bunch of laughs! We had such a great time! Happy birthday Mom C!

Once again, I can't even describe how thankful I am for such a wonderful family!

Here's some more pictures of little Adam playing the piano!
