We had a really good weekend!! Friday night just the two of us hung out and watched movies and just enjoyed each other, then on Saturday we ran some errands then made a dessert and headed out to Ontario. We went to my uncles home for a going away party for my brother and his family. After years of living in Ontario, David, my brother is moving his family to Cave Junction, Oregon. They leave at the end of this month, and I will truly miss them.
I say goodbye with mixed feelings, I am happy for them to be chasing their dreams, yet selfishly sad for me. I have enjoyed watching my brother become a husband, a father and an extraordinary man of God. He has been an example to so many people around him, he has been my dads best friend, he has been Jenna's rock, and his children's hero, but somehow, to me, he has remained "my little brother"..
I do realize that he is no longer "little", but he will always remain my brother..
So, I will miss them and their family so much, but I am so proud of who he has become that I just can't wait to see what more the Lord does in their lives!!!
I don't want to make this into a huge "goodbye" post because I refuse to say goodbye just "see you later"...it is with tremendous joy that I do say "see you later" to David, Jenna, Caleb, Gracie and Luke..I can't wait to come visit you all!!
You will all be in my prayers, and I'm looking forward to what the Lord is gonna do through you and in you!!!!
To top off our weekend, I went to Travis's softball game!!!!! He is really good!!!
They didn't win, but he played so well, and Becky came with her dad and we had a chance to just catch up!!!
One last surprise was last night, Travis's parents came over to bring his birthday present...a new barbecue!!!!!
It was so nice to see them, and to have them in our new home, I want to make more of an effort to connect with Karen because she is my family, so it was nice to see them and so sweet of them to bring the bbq down..so now we have no excuse to NOT have people over..so let the parties begin!!:)
Jeremiah 29:11 The Message I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
Philippians 4:8-9
whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
