Saturday, we ran some errands and visited with family (billy's grandma is sick and in the hospital - you can pray for her!) and then Saturday night, we had the awesome privilege of speaking at an event called "Love Actually" at Shelbyville FBC. We were honored to share our story - one of love and redemption and faithfulness and joy and all that "happily ever after" stuff. We were even more honored to share the truth about God's grace and truth as it relates to purity in relationships. "Love Actually" was a program for high school students and their parents and the entire focus was on staying pure until marriage - all in God's plan and timing. At the end of the evening, parents were given the opportunity to present a purity ring to their children who will in turn give that ring to their spouse on their wedding day. Neat stuff. Really neat stuff.
To start our talk, we took off our sweaters to reveal these cool shirts! Fun times!
We also participated in a "not so newlywed" game and oh man, I'm sad to report that we lost. :-( Oh well...
We've volunteered in student ministry off and on throughout our entire relationship and we are currently teaching seniors in HS. We love those kids and pray God's blessings over them in every area of their lives. What a privilege to share in their lives even for a moment.

Yes, you do have an AMAZING husband. And I'm pretty sure he would tell us all that he has an INCREDIBLE wife:).
Both you and Billy have been such a blessing to my life in youth and even now currently as I continue to grow in faith and life. I love both of you dearly and can't thank you enough for the impact you have had on my life as well as the current impact you are making in these students life. You BOTH rock! :)
I'm with Rach! Billy ROCKS and so do YOU! Love you both!!!
