Well, it's official and I can finally share with everyone. Emily is officially dating a wonderful young man whom she met at camp back in May. They met before camp when he volunteered for a day. She didn't see him again until mid summer when he ended up being the Pioneer camp speaker for a week .... the week Emily was a pioneer counselor. She was only a counselor for that particular camp one week. He was only a speaker for one week. They barely spoke until mid week. A few weeks later, he came back to camp to volunteer for a day; he chose to weed the pond with her for SEVEN hours. They had a lot of wonderful and deep converstions in that pond. Then he headed back to college ... in Chicago... Moody Bible College. From there, they began a deep friendship and a building of a realtionship over texting and skype. By October, they were seeking God's wisdom and direction in their relationship. In December, Caleb asked our permission to date her. By mid December, when he officially began winter break, he asked her to date him. So.. NOW.. I can finally share with everyone what is making my girl so happy. And happy doesn't even begin to express her emotions these days. She is so content and so joyful and so enjoying what journey God is taking her on.
Is was great to have everyone home for a little bit this Christmas break. Em was able to be home for 4 or 5 days. Erin just went back on Sunday and is settling back into the routine of school. She has a full semester ahead of her. She is taking an EMT course and will officially have her license by the fall. She is growing leaps and bounds in her walk with the Lord. She isn't sure where God is taking her with career/education. She is seriously wanting to explore non-profit organizations that help people. She was suppose to go to Africa for a few weeks during spring, but it got cancelled yesterday. That bummed her out, but God quickly showed her a new door where she could travel to Equador for 3 1/2 weeks doing Health Studies. She is very excited about it because it seems to be very similar to what she thinks she may be interested in pursuing. So, she officially got accepted today and is pursuing that.
Ri goes to the pulmonary specialist tomorrow, so hopefully we will find out a bit more about his breathing issues.
Here are just a few quick pictures to enjoy.
