Stacey is getting married!

Well, all I have done for the last 2 months is wedding stuff so I guess I had better blog about it. Stacey and Kyle are getting married in less than 3 weeks! They are so cute together not only in looks, as you can see, but specifically in personality. They really compliment each other. Lynn and I are so happy for them both. Of course, I hope they survive all the wedding preparations while working and going to school all at the same time. Stay tuned for wedding pictures in a future post!

Our trip to Brazil

Lynn and I went to Brazil last month. I was a little worried about it because unlike last trip where we visited 2 countries in one week, this time we would be in Sao Paulo the entire week. I wasn't sure I would find enough to keep me busy. Boy was I wrong! We arrived on Sat. and on Sunday, at church, I met my new friends who took me under their wing and I was busy every day all week long. They were amazing and Sao Paulo was amazing! Where are we going next, honey?

Here we are in Japan

Anniversary Trip

Anniversary Trip

Lynn has had the opportunity to travel a lot during his career. Many times he has asked me if I would like to join him. Most of our married life I have had kids to worry about and so my answer has always been, "I can't". Well, earlier this summer, Lynn asked me again if I would like to join him on his next business trip which was going to be to Korea and Japan. The first thought that came to my head was, "I can't". Luckily, before I let those words slip out of my mouth I realized that I actually could. And then to make it even more inviting, Lynn mentioned that it was our 30th year wedding anniversary and what a great way to spend it. So, I said, "Yes, I would love to go!" Here are a few pictures of our trip
