| Bess and I at the zoo – summer 2002 |
Chris and I had barely been married for 3 months when he was sent on a deployment to Kyrgyzstan. While he was gone, our sweet friends took me in. Not literally, I had an apartment and a job. But, spiritually, emotionally, they included me in their family life. I was able to be a part of trips to the zoo, family dinners, and they helped throw a welcome home party for my new husband.
More than anything they showed me what it meant to live as a faithful, Christian couple. They homeschooled and I knew after growing to love their children that this was what God would want for my future children, too.
I am so thankful for the role this family has played in our family life.
They have been an example of a godly marriage, a steady and stable example
for Chris and I for over 10 years.
Now things have come full circle.
That sweet, little blond girl who was the flower girl in my wedding is now the babysitter of my children. I just love how God works….

This post touched me. It is so wonderful to have friends like this. I am an American living in Germany. Although we have made so many great friends and are having excellent adventures I still miss home.
