Wedding Pics Online & Luggage Update

Had a chance to post up some wedding pictures last night, so head over to my picture gallery for those. Beth Bennett did a great job and we're expecting to get some more from her when we return to Colorado Springs next month.

This morning, Kristy and I awoke to the sound of her cell phone ringing at about 7am. (Not a very reasonable hour, given the previously late night of dominoes and cards with my parents.) Our grumpiness from being rudely awaken was turned to relief when Kristy was informed that my suitcase was finally located in Chicago! United is going to Fed Ex the luggage to Kristy's parents' place in Denver so it'll be waiting for us when we arrive back on the 17th of January. I'm really hoping that the bottle of St. Lucian rum is still intact. Not only because I was looking forward to some rum 'n Coke, but also because I know Kristy's parents aren't big fans of alcohol and probably don't want their house smelling like rum.

This Sunday, Kristy and I will be giving a report to my parents' church here in Longview (Grace Bible Fellowship) and, on the 8th of January, I'll lead worship at Grace Community Church in Auburn and give a report. Then, on the 14th, my parents will be putting on a wedding reception here in Longview for all my friends and family who couldn't make it down to Denver for the wedding. I'm really looking forward to that. I think my mom mentioned that we had about 90 RSVP's, which is actually more than we had at the wedding. My in-laws will also be flying up from Denver to attend the reception, which will be cool. (Maybe they can bring me my rum.) Finally, on the 15th, Kristy and I will give a report to my home church, Grace & Glory Community Church down in Vancouver.

In between all of that, I'm hoping to get some reading and blogging done, but we'll see. I'm also going to be trying to connect with as many financial partners as I can to set up some face-to-face time with Kristy and I. We're really hoping to come across some new financial support while we're here. Pray that the needed financial resources will come in so that we can get back to Europe!
