Hello everyone! Only 42 days until the wedding! We are so excited that most of you will be able to join us! We received a lot of requests as to what registry we were doing. Honestly, we want everyone to just come and not bring anything. We just want to celebrate with you without you having to feel obligated to bring something. However, I know many of you show your love and encouragement for us in that way, so, if you so choose, we are registered at Target and Bed Bath and Beyond (I'm just registering us today) or we could use gas cards. We just really appreciate all of you and the blessings that you have been in our lives!
Little update on me and Jeff:
Jeff is working at the Presbyterian Home this summer and is absolutely loving it! He is on the maintanance crew and aside from getting some scrapes and bee encounters, he is really enjoying himself!
Rachel is still finishing up her class and working and enjoying it all!
We have most of the things for the wedding set. We have the tuxes, dresses, cake, reception hall, church, counseling, musicians and a wonderful wedding organizanizer who have all been so extremely helpful to us. We are so thankful things are working out so well. God is certainly good and we are so grateful to Him for His amazing guidance through this whole process!

We are still here!
Hello everyone! Sorry it has taken so long for me to get another post on here! I'm actually doing this from Sarah and Stephen's computer so I'm going to stick some pictures that they took on here. As a little update on our lives, Jeff is finally done with school and did so well! God is so good. He is going to start work at a reformed presbyterian elderly home on Tuesday. It will be a perfect job for him and God provided it with perfect timing (like He always does!). I just started my online summer class and that's been going well so far but it's going to be more work than I thought! I'm enjoying it though.
About our wedding, we are still working on this one. There is still a lot that we have to do with little details (most of our big things have been worked out). We also still have to finish up our invitations for all of you! So, don't worry if you haven't received one yet. We are so excited for the wedding date to come!
Here's a picture of Jeff, Mom W and me at Dad W's work open house and a cute pic of Adam:

More birthdays!
Hello Everyone!
Here's a few pictures from Mom Williams and Adam's birthdays! We had such a good time! Mom and Dad Clayton, Sarah and Stephen, Adam, Mom and Dad Williams and Jeff and I all went over to Mom and Dad Williams' for a nice birthday celebration! Adam had his own little cake and we had a cake for mom as well. It was so much fun. Adam also loved mom's birthday peeps! He ate those things up pretty fast.
Also, a little update on the wedding. Me and Jeff started our counseling sessions and have had a good time so far! We had to take a personality test for each other and for ourselves. Then next week we are going over the results. This should be interesting. :) Other than that, we are basically just gathering information for what we need to do. Thanks so much to everyone who has given suggestions! They are very much appreciated. We are so thankful for everyone in our lives and I know we can't say that enough!

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!
