Happy 19th Birthday, Paul!

Happy 19th Birthday, Paul!

Today is the first time in 19 years that we cannot celebrate Paul's birthday with him in person as he is at BJU. It is kinda sad, but we did what we could to make it special for him. A couple weeks ago Timothy and Peter went to BJU for national competition and took a "Birthday Party in a Box" to Paul. The box had a few snacky items, presents, an apple cake that Arrena Jeanette made, birthday plates, napkins, and party horns.

Happy Birthday Paul. We are very proud of you and your love for God. May God continue to richly guide and protect you.

Have a great birthday!

Happy 17th Birthday, Timothy!

Today is Timothy's 17th birthday. It is difficult for me to believe that he is already 17...as it seems like only yesterday that he was born.

Timothy has a fun-loving personality. He loves to joke and have fun. Sometimes he is extremely wacky in his behavior and other days he is very emotional (kinda like his momma I guess.) He will try almost any activity.

Timothy loves to minister to children and has a real talent doing so. He seems to know how to get their attention and keep it as he preaches or teaches a Bible lesson.

Happy Birthday, Timothy. Daddy and I are very proud of you!

Congratulations Bob & Sarah!

Yesterday was a day that many have prayed for as Bob Roberts and Sarah Zimmerman became husband and wife.
The day went very smoothly. The bride was beautiful, the groom looked sharp, and the decorations were simply elegant.

Several of Bob's relatives came for the wedding. This is a photo of the Roberts men.

Here are a few photos that Peter took so that you can catch a sneak at the wedding ceremony.



















A special thank you to those who traveled to the wedding, helped in the wedding, participated in the wedding, or prayed for this special day.

And least I forget...Happy Birthday Bob! I do believe this qualifies as the best birthday present ever! [with the exception of those who would get saved on their birthday:-)] Peter says that Sarah should have come down the aisle on "Happy Birthday to You."

Sarah's Bridal Shower

We had a great evening tonight as we celebrated Sarah's upcoming marriage on April 14 to Bob Roberts.

The shower was a drop in event that went from 5 to 9 pm. We had a steady flow of ladies from 5 to 8:10 pm before it slowed down a little. We still had a few ladies drop in between 8:10 and 9:00 with the ladies leaving shortly after 9.

We praise the Lord for the 55 people who dropped by to celebrate with us making a total of 67 people in my house tonight:-) It is a good thing I have a large living room!

A very special thank you to Julie Gillen, Marie Tabler, and Ann King for co-hosting this event with me. In addition I would like to thank my family for their help and work as they prepared food, cleaned house, and cleaned up after the party.
