MAINE aka "Vacation Land"

The Moose River Region in Jackman, ME

Well, it's been a while since the last update because we've been so busy...A White Water rafting trip on the Kennebec River in Maine, Scarborough Beach in Rhode Island (once with MSers and once with HSers), A middle school girl's campout, a middle school Guys/Dads campout. It's been a ton of fun, challenging, and uplifting all at the same time. Enjoy the pic's!

The Portland Headlight: Portland, Maine

Leadership Trip to Sunapee, New Hampshire

This weekend we took some student-leaders of the local High School Bible Studies on a leadership trip to our friend Linda's cabin in Sunapee, NH. The purpose of the trip was to get to know each other better, brainstorm & plan for the Bible Studies, and spend some serious time in prayer. We all had a great time together, preparing, praying, tubing, water skiing, and rope swingin'. We're excited to see what God is going to do at Wachusett High & West Boylston High this year.

Siblings...

I remember those days so clearly when sibling rivalry was the only problem in life. The older you grow, the more precious they become to you. This is a cool pic from this summer's vacation to Charleston, South Carolina. My brother is now a sergeant in the corp at North Georgia University and my little sister is a Senior in High School! Hard to believe. -josh



We added this pic of us with Bec's siblings on the Bermuda Cruise, so they know they are "precious" also!

Happy Anniversary

August 6th was our first anniversary. It is hard for us to believe it has been that long. We spent two nights at our Pasotr's beautiful cabin in Augusta, Maine and went to the beach in Portland. It was a very relaxing weekend and we enjoyed every minute of it. Before we got married, everyone told us that the first year of marriage is the hardest, and one that will be full of stress and frustrations. I beg to differ. This first year of marrriage could not have been better. It has truly been the best year of our lives. We had been looking forward to getting to spend so much time together as a married couple, and that is just what we have done... a little more so than we planned since we work in the same building now.... it's been great!

Dunn's River Falls in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.  
This waterfall cascades 300 yards from the interior. We had a beautiful Baptism at the top, and a ton of fun!

summertime

What an amazing summer it has been...and it's not over yet! We have truly been blessed with the oportunity to travel to so many great places in the past 2 months. We began our summer on a cruise to Bermuda with my family, then a vacation to Charleston, SC with Josh's. A week later we lead a Student Mission trip to Jamaica and returned on Sunday, July 31st. God has moved tremendously in the lives of our students, and we give Him all the glory for His hand in our lives.
