in pieces

Leigh is such a great person to be married too! I love spending time with him. I love how he always serves me. He is a great friend, and he is so thoughtful. I love how he only likes specific things, but he really loves those things... alot - like food..., and I realize I laugh a lot around him. He also will always try to put God first no matter what - trying to do what's right so that he doesn't waste his life! I love how that challenges me to do the same too. I love how easy going he is, and how kids love to be jumping on his head, like our nieces and nephew, and our God children, even to the detriment of his back. I love how he loves mini videos, and making commercials, and playing drums so that people have to dance! I love how he tries to sing, and it's always off-key, and.... I love how he always tries to make time with me the best it can be. This anniversary was no exception! We had another great anniversary - we were given a gift certificate this summer for

Leigh took me to a movie on the weekend, called Across the Universe. We both loved it sooooo much. I have to admit I was a little apprehensive of going thinking that it would be too dark or emotional for me... but from the moment it started I was hooked. They did such a good job of using the "new mix" of Beatles songs and incorporating it into the story. I think Jim Sturgess does an amazing job. I may consider seeing it twice, but that seems a bit extravagant.

Hey, this is our buddy Alther from Indonesia. It was so great to have him here with us this summer. He has gone back home now, and is hoping to start Mission Adventures there next year!

Leigh and I are really enjoying this season. Summer was really full and busy with our mission adventures teams, and now we have had a chance to really rest. It's been so nice to sit back, relax, and enjoy the day. We've been able to be home from work at a regular hour - around 5pm. Our new office space is only a few blocks away so when we get home Leigh starts cooking supper while I go for a walk - it's been fabulously peaceful. The sunny weather has really helped, and we've been able to take time to read the Bible together in the morning, and talk about things, which I'm really enjoying. I really have a great friend in Leigh. I enjoy the time we spend together, and I think it's amazing how well we work together as a team too! This is a photo of us at one of our friends parties. Lately we have been able to pursue more of our passions with our available time. Leigh has been getting together with a few friends of his and developing videos - a dream and
