Wow, this is the summer for celebrations. We have a bunch of friends getting married (six, to be exact), and all we can say is, “It’s about stinkin’ time!” Haha. We highly recommend marriage around these parts.

Also, our dear friends Tim and Jeni have been accepted by the IMB to serve the Lord in the Middle East. It’s something they’ve looked forward to for years, and now it’s time to go! So exciting.

Another fun thing to look forward to is our trip to New York, visiting our friends the Dunns on their farm… in the middle of Amish country. We can’t wait, we have missed them so much since they moved away! We may even swing over to Rhode Island for a day, we’ll see.

Speaking of, we just got the good news that my cousin Mandy is expecting her first child. How awesome to start families together. I’ve aways loved that me and my cousins were so close in age!

Well, God is good, and His blessings abundant. Life is grand.
