Not Quite Over

We headed out to Mepo Friday evening.  It was a good thing!  Saturday's weather event turned out to be one of the worst snow storms of the winter.  Around 8 inches fell in our area.  Across the river in Iowa, it was not as bad.  It was a nasty day none the less, with a cold, driving rain in the morning while we were taking pictures in the old Burlington Library building.  In the afternoon it turned to snow, but very little buildup.  Mostly slush covered roads.  It was a grueling, hazardous drive for all of our family that made the trip on Saturday afternoon.  We were thankful that everyone arrived safely.  Winter is not quite over. 

We had a very comfortable stay at Lloyd and (cousin) Mary's home.  Saturday evening we had a wonderful rehearsal meal at C & B Wagenbach's very accommodating home.  The filet mignon was excellent (along with the rest of the food) and the fellowship great.

With the Saturday storm, we weren't sure if many from central Illinois would make the trip on Sunday morning, but were pleasantly surprised by the number who made the effort.  Thankfully, the roads were clear and the sun was shining.

Jake was our goofiest kid growing up, and most prone to get in trouble ("I just wanted to see what would happen!").  He was our creative illustrator in residence, the trombone player in the family brass quartet, our Russian literature reader, and the family athlete/runner.  As he matured and after his conversion, he became a deep thinker, very spiritual, studious, engineer, and backpacker.  After a four year stint at Cat, his career took him to Iowa where the Lord revealed who his helpmate should be.

We met Rachel when she moved to C-U for college and job, and have known her parents for most of our lives.  She is a Godly young women; pretty, petite, personable, and fun.  We look forward to having her become part of our family.

Sunday afternoon they were united in Holy Matrimony.  It was a beautiful day inside and outside of the church.  The ceremony, worship, and fellowship were inspiring.  We wish them God's blessings and guidance in their marriage.

They left the reception in his 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer.
