Happy Easter!

We wish you a very Happy Easter and all the blessings that come with the promise of the resurrection. Paul and I are headed to Gresham tomorrow evening and are looking forward for the opportunity for Paul to sing at the Good Shepherd Easter services. We hope to meet up with some friends and especially looking forward to seeing Paul's family that we haven't seen since Christmas. On Sunday we will head back to Corvallis to celebrate with my family in Corvallis.

We love having so many important, inspiring, inspirational, loving, caring, strengthening, encouraging, and gracious individuals in our lives. Tonight we had dinner with Duane and Melinda Ameele and always feel so encouraged and revived after spending time with them. Yesterday we visited Kari and Conrad Venti and got to meet their six week old twins Nolan and Mila for the first time. What a beautiful gift from God! Our time together was very precious. A few weeks ago we spent some good time with friends from college, both OSU and WOU, and with friends from Paul's work that all play a crucial role in who we are in the Lord. We are looking forward to visiting with more of my friends from college next weekend and the joys that they continue to bring to my life. Jacob and Andrea Fifhause are always so giving to us and we appreciate your flexibility to let us spend the night/borrow cars/borrow clothes/ borrow house things/ borrow yard things/ etc.

You are all continuously in our prayers and we feel so blessed to be able to share our lives with you all!

Much love and Happy Easter!
