Celebrating another birthday....

25! A quarter of a century....Well when I say it that way it does not sound too old. This past Saturday was my birthday and it was such a fun day! I worked in the morning but as soon as I got off I was surprised by my best friend Katie who came up for the day. Gosh I miss my girlfriends and it was so wonderful to get to some great time with her.
The weekend before my birthday it was 80 and sunny the whole weekend so we got the idea to have a pool party! All week long I was checking the weather and hoping it was going to be as nice as the week before. But as I woke up Saturday morning to rain and freezing temperatures outside my hopes of a warm sunny day went down the drain. But I wasn't going to let that stop me! I vowed earlier in the week no matter what the weather or the temperature I would be jumping into that pool! So here we are taking the polar plunge. Of course my husband and best friend would have to accompany me and my brother in law was up for the challenge as well! Our faces say it all! I think the thermometer was reading in the 40s that day and the pool I would have to say was not too much warmer!



We were so thankful for the hot tub once we flew out of that pool!


I was so spoiled this birthday! My mom and dad and brother Nick came up to STL to celebrate with me. My wonderful in-laws prepared all the food and had this beautiful cake made! It was such a great day with my family and close friends! :)



Support Update...
Well to follow up my last post we are seeing some real momentum right now with our financial support! Brett and I are so thrilled every dollar and percent we get closer to the end! We have $640 a month left to raise and the light at the end of the tunnel is so close we can almost feel it! Thank you all so much for your prayers and your investment into Brett and I's life and partnering in sharing the gospel at Arkansas State. We cant wait to get there and see the Lord work!

Support Update...

I hope that many of you reading this are on Brett and I's financial support team. After months of our support basically standing still we have seen some recent progress. This past two weeks we have had 6 new supporters join our support team for various amounts. We are left with $700 monthly to raise. We see the end so clearly now and are excited for the next chapter in our lives with one another. However, we have come to terms more than ever that we will be provided for when the Lord so chooses to do so. In the mean time we are loving each other and loving where we are at as best we can.

Continue to pray for our time here in STL. We have been blessed greatly by you all and are so thankful to each one of you!
