California

We had an great trip to California!

We had a reunion with my old small group of women (We used to call ourselves the Wives Prayer Group). We started meeting together about 6 years ago when many of us were still engaged! This time we were together we were introducing our 9 children to each other. My how time flies!

Then I was able to go to my friend Patrice's wedding! What a treat! Martin is a wonderful man who loves and treasures Patrice very much. It is summed up in a portion of a song they passed out at the wedding. Martin wrote this after he met Patrice for the first time -

You came, You saw, You conquered

How did this all happen?
My single world just fell apart
For you came
You saw
And you conquered all my heart
Now...
Life has no meaning
Unless you fill each part
For you came,
You saw
And you conquered all my heart!

Patrice is going to be a wonderful wife! They are both so blessed to have each other. Pray for them as they get Patrice moved to her new home on the Isle of Wight.

We mostly visited with friends for the rest of our time. We also had a few days at the beach, a big Easter party at the Deckerts, a picnic at Dana Point and a visit to The Flower Fields. It was confirmed to us how much we miss Chris, Kristin & family. Isaac had so much fun with his cousins. Except for a bad cold for Isaac the trip went well!
