Wedding date update

Hello Everyone!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Me and Jeff have a bit of news. We are actually going to be postponing our wedding date for another year or so. So, right now the date is up in the air but we are sure that it will not be next summer. We have been praying about this and different things have come up. God has truly been so wonderful to us!

Some more news:
- Sarah and Stephen and Adam will be hopefully moving to Pittsburgh in February of next year! We are just so excited! Some more exciting news is that they are having another baby and the due date is when our wedding was supposed to happen - June 28th! We are just so excited! God has truly blessed - check out their website (under friends - Sarah and Stephen).

Thanks so much everyone for your prayers and encouragement! We are so thankful that God has placed everyone in our lives. Some reminder verses that have been very precious to me lately are in Phil. 4:6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

I'll try to keep the posts up! I didn't realize it has been so long since I last posted! Once I get some more pics I'll definitely plop them on here. Love you guys!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to post a few pictures Pam just sent me of Julie from Halloween and the Pumpkin Patch!! She is just too insanely cute. :) Love you Jules! (Thanks for the pics Pam!)

Weekend in Hershey!

Hello everyone! Well, me and my parents and Sarah, Stephen and the absolutely adorable Adam all met in Hershey PA last weekend! It was so wonderful! We truly had the best time together and I'm so thankful for the wonderful family God has blessed me with! We were able to stay at a very nice little timeshare place that Stephen's parents gave to us to use (so nice of them!). Then we went hiking at this little park and went shopping at the outlets, grabbed some food here and there and just relaxed in the room. It was so much fun! Here are some pics of our time together. Hope you enjoy!

Here some pictures from our Jeff's birthday weekend (his birthday was last Wed - 10/24)! On Friday some friends from Jeff's college came out to Jeff's parents house for a little birthday celebration! Then on Sat. we went to a halloween party hosted by a place Jeff and I both worked. It was so much fun to see some of the people we worked with. What a great weekend!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF!!!!!

Fun in OH!!

Here are a few pics of our trip to OH to see our dear Family! We stayed with Uncle Steve and Aunt Cheri (Thanks you guys!) and got to see Karen, Scott, Kennedy, Cole (who are truly adorable by the way) and Grandmother! It was so much fun. Here's some pics from when we went to the Creation Museum in Kentucky. This place was so truly amazing. We would recommend it for everyone! Also, Aunt Cheri took us to all the Half Price Book Stores in the Cincinnatti area which was like a dream come true for us (especially Jeff!). Love you guys!

Here's a nice one of Mom and Dad!
Here's one of me and Jeff in U. Steve and A. Cheri's house!

I wish I had more pics of the whole fam together but I'll have to take some more next time. :)

Prayer

Hi Everyone! If you think of it, could you please pray for Jeff as one of his dear friends passed away last Sunday. God has been showing him many things through it and he can praise God despite what happened but if you could hold him in your prayers I know we'd appreciate it. Thanks so much for all your encouragement and prayers.

Greetings from Jeff

Well, where does one begin to share inexpressible joy? Sometimes I often wonder how my life became so amazing and I remember almost immediately, Romans 11:36- "For from Him and to Him and through Him are all things..."
I hope that verse always remains in my mind, so that i may live and know that all Control rests in the sovereignty of God, and through trusting in Christ alone. I must openly confess to you who might read this that i am an inherently selfish and self-focused sinner. Please keep me in your prayers that i may serve Rachel as Christ serves His Church, always with Her best in mind, for the deeper love between Them.
I would also like to share a portion of a prayer written by Augustine, for the encouragement of all who may be reading this,

"Our hearts are restless until they find rest in Thee."

Please remember that. Attemplting to find rest or comfort in anyone or anything else will breed nothing but futility and pain.

In His Grace and for His Glory,
Jeff
