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".

Baden Springs Hotel, French Lick

Dave and I have been so bust lately that we haven't spent much time together.  We decided to take a weekend away and reconnect.  Grandma Kusch was willing to watch the kids for us, so we could get away for a night.  We stayed at the beautiful, newly renovated West Baden Springs Hotel.
We enjoyed a leisurely drive down, a nice dinner at the steak house, a walk through the grounds, time in the hot tub, and we slept in.  It was the perfect weekend!











































We stopped by Indiana University on the way home
