The Wedding Anticipation — it is a deliciously awful thing. Sometimes it is glorious, like when you are waiting for warm chocolate chip cookies to come out of the oven, the scent whetting your appetite. Sometimes it is agony, like when you are waiting for the result of a medical test. Sometimes it is… Continue reading Heading Straight For Us
A Whole New World
TURKIYE Once again, Andy had the opportunity (and joy) to serve the international operations staff members of Campus Crusade at the 4th bi-annual Operational Leadership Conference. This year it was held outside of Izmir, Turkey, southeast of Istanbul. (Notice the spelling above—the Turkish people don’t like the way we spell it since it’s the same… Continue reading A Whole New World

Andy’s Summer (so far…)
Continuing Education Greetings from Orlando! It's interesting to be in Central Florida and not have it be the hottest place in America.

She treated me… Continue reading Andy’s Summer (so far…)

Merry Christmas From Us
Merry Christmas! Miss Cady continues to do well at Hair Cuttery. She is taking appointments (something she had to earn) and is a key-holder for the salon—a great honor. She was able to come visit us this summer in Colorado with her boyfriend, Kevin. Their puppy, Autumn, continues to keep the world safe from “wild… Continue reading Merry Christmas From Us
Thanks A lot!
Thanks, I Think. Have you ever been given a gift that didn’t seem like much of a “gift” to you? Have you gotten a gift certificate to a business that then closes, or a monogrammed item where your name was misspelled? Sometimes gifts really test the idea that, “it is the thought that counts.” A… Continue reading Thanks A lot!
Milestones…

Now, more… Continue reading Milestones…
Home Away From Home
I love the feeling of driving down my street and into our driveway after being away. Stepping into the house. Collapsing onto my couch. Sleeping in my own bed.
