Jonathan and Rachel Shaub!

Last week was difficult. We had to go through a cast change with the Majesty and it was just yucky. But-I know it happened for a purpose.

However, the weekend more than made up for it. The Shaub family brought us to Florida to participate in Jonathan's wedding. You may remember 3 years ago the hard core prayers offered on this blog and so many others for Jonathan's recovery after being hit by a large truck in NYC. It is a miracle that he lived...even more of a miracle that he walks now! And, with tears in our eyes, Sheryl and I watched him get married to beautiful Rachel and DANCE at his reception! That is a gift!!

Here are some pictures of our experience in Rosemary Beach. (Thanks also to Trina Gehl for helping with our kids! It was so great to see you, Trina!!)

WOW! Even Scott Owings let his hair down!

The next day, we got to have some family beach time before we drove home.

Maddie and Ella would walk towards the freezing water bravely...

and then run screaming every time!

It was such a blast! Thanks to the Shaubs for allowing us to be a part of their very special weekend!
