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

Jeff and Adam!

Hello everyone! I just think this is the cutest picture of Jeff and Adam so I thought I'd stick it on here. :) We are doing well and I guess taking a break from wedding planning for the time being (except that I started our powerpoint presentation for the reception and it's so much fun to put together!). Jeff is working very hard at school, getting things done! His classes are very difficult this semester (he has Greek - one among many that I would do TERRIBLE at!). I'm just working and taking a paralegal class as well as training for a half marathon in the beginning of January! I'm so excited! So, that's a little update on our lives at the moment! Hope you are all doing well! We love you!

Hello!! I'm just trying out new backgrounds. Let me know which one you like! I also wanted to let people know that Jeff had a great idea to put 2 excellent videos on here! They are on the bottom of the blog so if you can take a peek that would be great!

Also, I wanted to give a shoutout to my dearest sis and friend over at the beach on her birthday week! Love you my dear! Hope you are having fun!

The clan!

I wanted to add another picture of my dear sister and Adam so I found this picture with Mom Clayton as well and thought I'd shoot it on here. I just want to add so many pictures!!
