Dear Vera

This is for my dear friend Vera. We have been friends since high school and we still have an awesome friendship. Even though we live thousands of miles apart we are always able to encourage one another in the Lord. I just wish we lived closer and could see each other more often! I wish we could go through photo albums together, have late night runs to Sheetz, and pray together like we used to. I wish our husbands could go out while we stay home with the kids and watch a movie. I wish our kids could grow up knowing each other. God has called us both to where we are at. I know He is taking care of you and your family. Keep seeking Him.

She promised she would visit my blog. Vera, if you read this...try to figure out how to post a comment. =) That would make my day!

This is us in Europe 10 years ago!
These came out of my scrap-book.
In the streets of Berlin, Germany
This is us in Salzburg, Austria
We walked around the fountain just like Sound of Music
(same fountain)
This is her beautiful baby, or at least the last picture I have of him. This one is on my fridge. I hear he's bigger now though.
"I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."
Philippians 1:3-6

Wow Brooke, you made me cry. I have been missing you these days more then ever, since i'm home with jr more now. I keep dreaming of coming over there. I'm praying for God to give us clear direction and guidance on what we (my familye) should do and if we should move or stay put. You know my family, it does't take much for us to just jump and go. Which on one side is good but on the other we need to stay put and wait for His direction whether to jump or stay. You have no idea how bad I want to go there RIGHT NOW> freeze this crazy world, put everythig on hold and just me and you sit down and catch up.
So sorry I have not updated you with new pics, i'll have Daniel help me out with that, maybe tonight. You really need some new ones espeacially of jr.
I love you, your family and miss you so dearly.
