Ethan's Dinosaur Friends
Blowing out the candles!
Not too long after we celebrated Ethan's birthday, Chris and I celebrated our 6-year anniversary. It is amazing to look back at our lives six years ago and to see what the Lord has graciously done in our lives. We kept it simple with dinner and a movie, but, honestly, we love to sit and talk, so it was the perfect date! I feel incredibly blessed to be married to Chris and am honored to be his wife!
Date Night!
I was also blessed to be able to participate in a special event at our church a few weeks ago. As some of you know, my former youth pastor, Patrick McGoldrick, was recently diagnosed with ALS (see post here). This year, as we honored the last graduating class under his ministry, our pastor surprised Patrick with a tribute to his ministry and a charge to keep running hard after Christ. Lining the auditorium, a student from each graduating class under Patrick, from 2000 to 2012, passed a baton that read "Keep the Pace" - a reminder to keep running hard after Christ. I was incredibly honored to be the representative for 2002. As the baton was passed last to Patrick, we were all humbled by what Lord has done and continues to do through the ministry of Patrick and Dena.
Finally, as school wraps up this year, Emma, Ethan, and I visited my Dad's class on Field Day, and were able to do something we had never done before - jump in a bouncy castle by ourselves! The school had rented several large bouncy castles for the students, but during lunchtime they were unoccupied and Emma and Ethan were able to jump, jump, jump!
Bouncing Away!
And June isn't even over yet!
