As much fun as it is to be able to travel like we're getting to I would much rather travel around the states to visit family and get to spend time watching nieces and nephews grow up and get to spend time with my brothers and sisters and my parents, both sets. I miss you guys like you wouldn't believe! I hate being so far away from you all, it's a lot harder than I imagined it to be.
Thanks to everyone for the anniversary wishes and cards and all that. James and I had a good day. We celebrated the Saturday before our actual anniversary by going out to eat at a restaurant that we'd never been to in our town before. They only reason we celebrated then was because we didn't know what kinds of restaurants would be out here in Vilseck. We did exchange cards though on our anniversary and ate at the restaurant that's inside the hotel that we are currently staying at, which was pretty good, and we had some wine later that evening. Very mellow. I wish James and I were more creative with planning things than we are, but we're not so, oh well.
Also thanks everyone for praying, it's been much needed and much appreciated and please keep 'em coming 'cause the enemy is not easily discouraged. Thanks again. I love you all so much and miss you more! Hope you are doing well, give yourselves big hugs from me (and James too)!

Hey! I'm glad you had a nice mellow anniversary...I wish you many, many more mellow days! Still praying for you-both :) God is good to hear & answer our meager little requests! We love & miss you like crazy, too! Have a great time while you are there. Once you get back to the states & James starts his "new" career, ya may not get to travel as much as you would like! BTW, I think the two of you have so much to offer in a ministry that God will use you in ways you would never ever imagine in a lifetime!! Love ya tons!
isn't there a shadow in almost every situation? you're having this amazing experience traveling and bonding with each other...and you're missing home so badly. i read something about a year ago about the challenge of learning to be content with a constant shadow. Because there will never be a time when everything is as we want it. When you are home near family, you will probably miss this time and pine for adventure! Or there will be other difficulties that arise to replace the homesickness and cast a shadow again. i do think it's all about focus - focusing on whatever the blessings are and giving thanks for them. and also remembering that everything is temporary. i wish that actually doing this was as easy as it sounds! hang in there girl - you are very loved by so many people, near and far, i'm sure. :)
by the way, i loved the pictures and the new do!
