do not disturb...

...i'm sleeping

Game Day

Nothing like a Saturday in my scivvies.

Micki and Matthew...

...are engaged! Micki is Ben's older sister. She lived with us up until we moved to Greenville this spring. Mick and Matthew have an awesome story! Matthew is from England and of course Micki is not from England. Micki and Ben's mom has a friend that lives in England and knows Matthew and his family very well. She recommended to Ben's mom that Micki & Matthew would make a good pair--she doesn't like to set people up, but she really felt God's prompting. So M & M began corresponding via email VERY regularly (starting last fall)! Every night I got to hear about their "written conversations". Micki liked everything about their internet relationship, but wondered if they would have the same chemistry in person. They planned for Matthew to come for a visit to the states over Christmas. At this point they had still seen only pictures of each other...they didn't even use skype! So Christmas came and so did Matthew & the sparks flew. They knew that this was it. Micki has since been over to England twice. Matthew came to the states last Thursday for a week visit & popped the question! We are so excited about the two of them & love how God wrote their story! They will have a Tennessee wedding next July!

This is back in January during Matthew's first visit.


This is last week when we spent the day with Matthew & visited Micki at her school.


And this is the engaged couple! Check out that ring!!
