Family Time

Wow. I know you are sick of hearing how great my summer is :) Sorry. Not done yet.
I cannot express how thankful I am that we were able to be a part of my cousins wedding celebration this past weekend. Not only did we get to celebrate with him, but it afforded us an opportunity to visit Michigan's beautiful Upper Penninsula, do some sight seeing, visit the casino, and hang out with my family.
I wish I could post a picture of my cousin and his bride. Their joy would shine through the photo as bright as the rainbow that God placed in the sky on their wedding day. My cousin has endured a lot of pain and loss in his life. I'll never understand why one family should have to endure so much. So, to see him celebrate a day of true joy and blessing was an honor and privilege and cause to praise God!
Well, I could ramble on forever, but I won't.
If the trip to the "UP" weren't enough, we also had the chance to invade Daddy's room at the Amway in GR. I wish I could have captured the look on my girls' faces as we walked through the lobby of that gorgeous building.
We had a FABULOUS time walking around GR Thursday night and Sunday night. Eating Thai food one night and Tapas the other.
I know, we have way too much FUN. It's sickening.
So, here we are spending our final week in MI. We're eating up our time with all our loved ones. I'll never forget the "summer of '09"
Next week, I'll be signing on from HOME....Brooklyn. Settling in and getting ready to start the school year and our ministry in NY!
