Wedding Weekend

This weekend our good friends Ben and Miranda were married. It was actually the first wedding we’ve been to since our own last year. Michelle was one of the bridesmaids in the wedding. It was an excellent wedding ceremony. It was very evident that Ben and Miranda not only love eachother but God as well and they wanted to bring Him glory with their wedding. As I sat through the ceremony, it reminded me that our marriages should be an example to others of how a good marriage functions. Our marriages should look different that the non-christian marriages. We are to bring glory to God through our marriage by investing in it. Even after only one year of wedded bliss, it is easy to put marriage on cruise control and not strive for higher ground. This weekend was just a good reminder of the duties of husbands and wives and the goal we have together to glorify God. Way to Go Ben and Miranda!

Update:

It's been awhile since I last update the our blog.(sorry) So I thought I would recap on the latest happenings.



I am still working like crazy, but that's normal. However, for the first time in quite awhile work is getting stressful. It's still not all that bad.



Michelle continues to look for a job. She has had a few hopeful phone calls but nothing has panned out. Her latest past time is card making and as usual she is excellent at that as well.



We had our one year anniversary on the 21th . Amazingly enough it has been one year of wedded bliss for us. The year just flew by. I don't know when you stop being a newlywed, but I still feel like one. And I just want to say, I like being married.



Michelle's family reunion, Lewis Camp, was the first of the month. It's where Michelle's family goes camping for a weekend together. We always have fun and this year was no different. We have a tradition of tubing down the river at midnight with the cousins. I made the trip down the river twice this year. It was a lot fun, but man was it cold. Michelle and I also made a trip down the river in a canoe. Nothing like camping, canoeing, and tubing with family in the great outdoors. Sunday morning is cool too, because the whole family has church together.


We got to go to the rodeo last week at the fair. It was Michelle's first rodeo. It was a pretty fun time but we forgot the camera in the car so, sorry no pictures.


On a side note I love the fair. County fairs are so much fun. The animals, the sites, the rides, the events, THE FOOD!, and of course carnies. Fried food!

Amber's fingers are doing great. They are healing well and she's going to therapy to get all of the movement back. She has been staying at our place when she has her Dr. appointments.

Well, that's what we've been up to. As usual we are busy. But God has blessed over and over.
