It's a Wonderful Life!

    It's been a wonderful weekend. Well mostly it was. Nick came in to see Kelly, but she had to work every day. It really broke my heart for them both. That was the sad part. Kelly did get to spend all of Monday morning with him before he had to leave. Long distant relationships are tough, but they make for strong relationships if they survive. I pray for them each day, that God will use their time apart from each other to make them stronger and to draw them closer to His heart.
   Ronald and Nick spent some time together on Saturday. They made some bar-b-que rub and a basting sauce for grilling and smoking.
   Ronald got up on Sunday morning and put on a brisket and not to brag but it turned out delicious.
   On Sunday, Nick taught about Being an Ambassador: True Knowledge at our church. He did such a great job and I was so proud of him. His Mom (Colleen) and Aunt Katie and brother(Chris) also came in from GA. to see and hear him teach. It was so great to meet them.

Cutest couple!

    First impressions - beautiful people after my own heart. Christians and crafters! Both his Mom and his Aunt crochet! I love it. Aunt Katie made a beautiful prayer rag for my kitchen, and Colleen brought a bag of dark chocolate pomegranates for us. I have become so addicted to these things. I am hoping that they will be able to come back again soon and stay a little while so that we can get to know each other better and share some patterns and recipes. Nick brags often about his Mom's cooking, so I know it has to be good.
     Sharing a few pictures that Aunt Katie took at church Sunday. Nick had to shave his beard off before going back to work on Tuesday. : ( That was sad. But we are praying that his orders will be in soon and he will be out of the Army. Then the beard will be back. We all think the beard looks great. Well... Kelly loves it!

 I hope that everyone has a very blessed week. Love you all!

Until next time. Blessings to All ~S~
