Bethany's Wedding

I was blessed to be able to fly out to Spokane, Washington to watch my dear childhood friend, Bethany, get married. We experience gymnastics, high school class office, volleyball seasons and youth group days together. She has spent the last two years in Zambia, Africa with the Peace Corps and while she was there, she met Jeremy Colvin. They both continue to have a heart for the people of Zambia, and will continue to live their working The Choshen Farm.

It was the best wedding I've ever attended. Simple, beautiful and meaningful.

They did a Zambian wedding dance as they left the ceremony!

Me, Zach & Christy... cheers Ithaca High!

They danced into the reception!

Jeremy washed Beth's feet and presented her with a new Bible to math his, "Bethany Joy Colvin."

Apparently in Zambis they are fierce dancers! This was the cake dance!

Farewell, Mr. & Mrs. Colvin!

What's for dinner?

Take a minute and think about how often your family eats outside of your home. We try our best, despite eclectic schedules, to eat at home often, but sometimes our best efforts are stifled by cravings and generosity! I have cravings, and Chris oozes generosity to keep me from having to cook. Since we have been "on vacation" this week, all bets are off regarding food. It's really felt like vacation! Let's see, where have we been....
