New post especially for Brooke

Guess what Brooke I am in Delta today and tomorrow so I have some time to update my blog again so this one is for you --Probably my only reader!! Bob had an aunt die so he is heading to Fairview MI for the funeral.
Well Dave and I are quickly getting back into the ole grind after a wonderful weekend away. We went to Kansas to see Brooke, meet her boyfriend, take a wonderful group of college kids out for pizza Sunday evening,(you'll have to ask them about the blessing, What a great time) and spend some time with an old friend Kevin. All to celebrate our 29th anniversary. Some may think that going to Kansas may be a lame place to celebrate, but for us it was the best place--this is where we met. We stayed up too late for old people every night we were there, and wouldn't have changed a thing about the weekend, except maybe to not have Brooke work on Saturday. But all in all it was wonderful and I am glad we did it. We were blessed!!
So we just celebrated 29 years of wedded bliss. I cannot imagine having gone through those 29 years with anyone else they have been good. I am not saying we have had a bed of roses, many times we only had thorns, but we are in this life together! We have had the privilege of having 4 great kids, I love them all more than words can say. When I think of how much I love my husband and kids and how much more that Jesus loves us it simply amazes me.
As this weekend is Easter, I think of the tremendous LOVE the Father has for us. To give his child is to give the most precious thing that He could give. To give your Son is more of a sacrifice than to give yourself. And to give His son Jesus to die for us --not for himself --but for us-- AMAZING LOVE. To add to that the awesome resurrection--which is the foundation of our christian faith. Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies. John 11:25 I believe!!!
I have seen Caleb and Brooke this week, and will see Jessica on Sunday, Shaun I miss so much But I know I will see him again because he has died, yet he lives. (the bible tells me so) He too believed --But 10 1/2 years is too long for a parent to go with out seeing their child. (I don't like to go a month) But to those of you left here, don't worry about me, I am not making plans to go to heaven just yet, I want to stay here with you until Jesus calls my name to go to Him.
