Troop 437

 So I meant to post this earlier, but couldn't.

On Monday Sarah and I got to go to an Eagle Scout ceremony invited by 

two of our awesome friends, who are in Boy Scouts, Troop 437! Thanks so much for the invite!

I had so much fun! I loved hearing the ceremony, all the things they had accomplished, the badges given out to other scouters, the videos they put together for each Eagle Scout, and all the memories that each scout loved!. I loved being there to see Mr. Hall (Scout leader for 20 years of troop 437) give out his last charges to the 5 Eagle Scouts. This guy has been giving charges since Marcus was an Eagle Scout! What an honor! I loved getting to meet other scouters that I only heard stories of and seeing other familiar faces!!

It's cool being able to meet some of the people my brothers have known since T437 was started, and seeing some of the things my brothers did when they were young!!

 Congrats to Micah and Granger!

You guys are amazing!

Sorry about some of the pics being blurry!

Proud Parents!

Thanks for inviting us and introducing me to awesome people!

Chris Medina - What Are Words

I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this. Knowing the story behind this song brings tears to my eyes.

He purposed to his girlfriend and they planned to get married a year
later. Within that year she got in a terrible car accident that caused
physical disability. He wrote this for her!  Hope you enjoy this as much
as I did.

A Very Special Mother

    So as most of you know, today is Mother's Day and I want to wish all those mom out there a most blessed Mother's day!!.
Boy do I have an amazing mother. This drop dead gorgeous lady is just so wonderful. I don't think there are enough words to describe her!!!. From the moment you were born Christ had an amazing plan for you!!. 

You married and bore 4 beautiful boys, whom are now all grown up and have wives and kids of their own!!

 

You've gone trouble hardship in life which has made you the most strongest woman I know! 

 

You have loved and served this man ever since the day you stood in front of him and said "I do"

You have taught me what real love is. It is unconditional. It never fails! It endures all things!

You have shown me what a real wife is and I hope in the future that if I get married I am like you. So patient, so kind, and so forgiving! Giving more than taking!

  You open your mouth with wisdom and teach kindness to all, just as the bible says!!

You are as goofy and crazy as dad!.

 Later on Christ brought 4 girls into your life. 

Stevie loves you to death!!!

 Sarah can't help but make you smile with her never ending laughter!

I love and treasure the time we have together. Whether going to the store to get groceries, or to pick up a part for papa, even to go test drive a customers car, it is such a special time. A time of talking and making more memories that I shall never forget!. I loved you and papa from the moment you guys came to Ukraine to bring girl, (who would of gone with Hitler just to get out of the orphanage,) to a most loving home on the planet!!. 

Like I said, " Where have you been, I've been waiting 50 years!"

 

Your an amazing mother and sacrifice so much of your time!!!. 

And Alli, what a hyper girl!!! She loves being rocked by you like a baby girl!!!!!

Every one of us have you to thank for the lives we have today!!!

I love you mom and hope you have an awesome Mother's Day! By the way, "Emma" was a great movie to pick!!!

Catch up!

Well, since all the ski trip pictures made it up on the blog, I thought I'd catch up on life. 

The Adelmans came down from Albuaquarqua and visited for a day. Sarah and I had the pleasure of having lunch with them at our favorite after church restaurant, Dickeys. 

I got to speak at the 2015 Undergraduate  conference which my mama attended! I spoke about "What the world loses when a language becomes exctint, and why is so important." It was a great time of fellowship with other language students! 

The last week of April on a Wednesday we had a fun game night at youth group. It was a blast!! We won!!!!

One of my friends from the skit trip came down and spent a Friday with my family. Love you Chelsey!! Thanks for coming down.

Marion!! This girl is awesome. Spent almost a whole Sunday with her!!

And yes, this is my crazy father!! It was Sarah's turn for a Daddy daughter date and this is how he was gonna go out. We all just stared at him like he was crazy and started laughing!!. Sarah made him change.

Sarah and I also got hired to work at  taco delite, which was such an excitement. After waiting for 3 weeks, yesterday we found out that they don't want us cause we don't have licenses. Bummer. Looking for more jobs now!
