Graduation

This past weekend we took a trip to indiana to watch my sister libby graduate from college!  It was much fun, and exciting to see her accomplish such a goal!  After a nice meal with all of our family, Joe and I stopped in at Huntington Unv. to see our friends Matt and Laura Bruce.  Laura and I traveled to Spain and studied there together during college.  She was also in my wedding...a good friend!  The weekend was spent playing frisbee golf, eating at the "HUB", hanging out and talking alot, learning how to play settlers of katan (sp?) and laughing ALOT.  It was so refreshing to be with another married couple our age, something we have been missing since here at heartland.  Thank you Lord that you enabled us to stay with them!  Matt and Laura are just so funny, so it is a riot to be around them.  God is taking each of us as a couple on a similar journey right now, so talking about what our heavenly father has been showing us was a common topic of the weekend.  Sad news is that they are probably going to be moving out to the west coast in the very near future to pursue grad school/R.D. position out there.  Well, it is not sad for them...they are very excited about the possibility...and we are excited for them in that way as well.  But is still kind of a bummer that as we reconnect with friends and couples, most of them seem to live far away, or are getting ready to move!  *sigh*  but our friendship will not end just because a little distance is put between us  :)  Good friends seem to be one of the best blessings you can give us, Lord!
