God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

Boston (May 2015)

My mom was inducted into Thrivent's Hall of Fame.  This is a huge honor in her company.  We were so excited to be able to go to Boston and celebrate with her.  We also did some sight seeing while we were there.
We flew on small planes from FW to Philadelphia and from Philadelphia to Boston.


We HAD to try the seafood while in Boston!
