MARRIED!

Mark & Jill are married! The only wedding I've ever been this excited over was my own! Brad and I made a very quick trip to Cincinnati to attend the wedding. We were on the ground for 36 hours, and visited exactly four places: the airport, the hotel, the church, and the reception hall. Despite the brevity of the trip, it was absolutely wonderful to be able to watch these dear friends of ours get married after waiting so many years to find each other.

We also got to see several people from our days in Austria. Carol Halm came to the wedding all the way from Austria, where she still lives. Don & Lynn Golden drove down from their home in Grand Rapids. And Roseanne Turner came up from Greenville, SC. We hadn't seen any of these people since we came home from Austria more than 14 years ago!

It was a wonderful trip and a beautiful wedding. We are so stoked to have Jill as our pastor's wife, and most of all we are just thrilled for these two who are so crazy about each other.
