jamaica or bust!

We're off tomorrow morning for our mission trip to Jamaica!

Please pray that God uses us in huge ways!!

SWEET BLISS.

1. I realized that I've never shared a picture of the outside of our house! Here it is, our home sweet home:

2. For our 2 year, I tried to recreate our wedding cake, but with strawberry filling instead of raspberry. It was actually quite delicious!! (Um, please ignore the sloppy writing!)

3. Remember this perfect dream gift?

Well, part of that dream is becoming a reality!

Happy 2 years to us!! Just to clarify - those are sweet, 3-week old little Weimaraner puppies, not grand pianos. There are 3 blue females, and we get the first pick! Our little girl will be joining us around August 15th. I am SO EXCITED. In fact, I told Doug tonight that when we get the puppy, he might have more problems house-training me than her.

What greater thing is there for two human souls

than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen

each other in all labor, to minister to each other in all sorrow,

to share with each other in all gladness,

to be one with each other in the

silent unspoken memories?

-George Eliot

Happy anniversary, Doug.

I love you.

Just thinking...
Western New York feels so comfortable, so familiar.
Whenever I'm home on the farm, it just feels right.
Despite the fact that we've all nearly been killed at various times on the farm, when I'm here, it feels like nothing can go wrong.
If Doug were here, it would be entirely perfect.
