It's coming to an end...

I'm sad. We've made some wonderful friends here at Hume. I'm going to miss them so very much! I'm hoping to take more pictures as the week goes on and as our time at Hume comes to an end, but here's some that I have for now. I will not soon forget these wonderful people who have been so tremendously kind to us and our kids. Thank you for the time that you've invested in our family. We love you all!

We're moving HOME

We are so excited to get to tell you that we are moving back to our house on Browning! Yea! We felt like the Lord asked us to give the house up, and we did. It seems as though it was a test of hearts & not really what we were going to have to end up doing. We gave it to the Lord, and He has now given it back to us. We are REALLY excited. This picture was taken in front of our Browning house a couple of years ago. :) It's been a crazy journey of waiting on the Lord. The end result is such a great one though! Eric & Sara, we can't wait to be your neighbors again!!!!

Devin's Senior Pictures

I can't believe that Devin is already graduating from high school! It seems like he was just born a few months ago. D-Rod, I hope that you're happy with the pictures. I had fun shooting them.
Hall Girls, what do you think of this location for your pictures?

Praise God! Cal & Mary on their 32 Wedding Anniversary

May 8th, 32 years and counting....

Well, its been quite a year. What a joy it is to have celebrated my parent's 32 wedding anniversary on Thursday. We had a beautiful ceremony of them renewing their vows. Marcy did such a nice job with that! Thanks, Marcy! Ryan & Karle, thanks for hosting it and making your yard & house look so beautiful for this special occasion! Aunt Pam, thanks for all of your hard work on the delicious cake! Jon, thanks for taking all the pictures! Eric & Sara, thanks for babysitting Ezekiel. Andrea & Shauna, thanks for being the behind the scenes workers. All other friends, thanks for your support and friendship. Mom & Dad, thanks for doing whatever it takes to have a marriage that stands the tests of time. I'm so glad that we all got to celebrate your hard work and the grace of God. You're a wonderful example to all of us of how to fight for our marriages when Satan seeks to steel, kill, and destroy them. I love you!

Malibu, in all it's glory

Our family had such a wonderful time in Malibu a couple of weeks ago. It was great to enjoy the beauty of that place, to grow in our knowledge & love of God's Word, and to just be together away from day to day life. It was a super fun week! We got to spend a lot of time with our family, and with old friends that we haven't seen in many years. It was so nice to see friends that we grew up with now holding children of their own! What beautiful families have developed over the years.

Thank you, God for this precious week! It was a sweet gift from you!

Here's a couple of pictures from the beach.
