Full Circle






Five years ago, I spent an amazing fall in Austria and met two wonderful friends. Friends whom I have grown with, traveled with, learned from and lived life together. Even though the last few years we have not spent countless hours together, like we did in Austria, they are still very precious to me.

Last weekend, they were married. The morning of the wedding, I thought back to our days in Austria. It is amazing that they are now married. I remember the first time that Lester told me he liked Katie. I also remember the talks that Katie and I had down by the creek, when no one else was listening...because it was a secret.... Well the cat is out of the bag and here's the proof!

A Weekend To Remember

This last weekend Kelly, Michael, David and I all attended a marriage conference.

I am normally very skeptical of conferences and find them a bit cheesy. But this was a great weekend! We were able to spend a lot of intentional time together. They had great resources and teaching that hit right on the money!

Spending time with Kelly and Michael was probably the best part. It's amazing to get to do things like that with your siblings, grow together in life. It's fun not to just be the baby sister anymore, but to be friends too who are waling through life together!

If you want to get to know your spouse better, or want to spend time figuring out the purpose of marriage, I strongly recommend this conference!

As for me...I am soooooooo happy to be married to this guy.
