Hitched

It is definitely different this time having a son rather than a daughter getting married.  It has been exciting watching Son #1 taking on the responsibility of buying and preparing a house for his bride.  Almost nightly and most Saturdays he has been cleaning, fixing, patching, painting, shopping, and moving his stuff.  I haven't been too much of a help to him, although I did help move his farm set, and assemble and set up some furniture.

I met Lena on a father/daughter canoe trip to the Boundary Waters a few years ago.  She was full of energy and a lot of fun.  She is a pretty, talented, Godly young woman, and we welcome her into our family.  She comes from a great family and we have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them.

Matt has been a consistent, stable, faithful, supportive son.  He is smart, hardworking, responsible, and a handyman.  He has been a blessing to our family.  And he shares my interest in Agriculture :)

We spent another blessed weekend in Winthrop, MN (and Gaylord, LaFayette, New Ulm).  We enjoyed good weather, good food, good fellowship, and a beautiful wedding.  The church was full on Sunday and the Spirit was present.  I think I am even starting to get some of the Messners and Schmidts figured out.

This is how you embarrass your daughters ( and I'm not talking about little miss!).

Congratulations Matt and Lena!  We wish you God's blessings throughout your marriage, and as you turn your house into a Christian home.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Genesis 2:24
