a long goodbye

Keri's dad and Mrs. Kathy came over last week and we had the best time spending the afternoon with them. Keri's dad left this weekend to work in Iraq for two years. He is a contract worker, supporting the US military and we're so proud of him. This will be his second time to work overseas, and his first experience kept him there for 3 or 4 years. We have loved having him close by for the past 2 years and cherished his frequent visits. We are praying for his safety and thinking of him daily!
















































































































































































































“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.”
