July 2014 – A Love Note To My Lefe’s

To my wonderful family,

I can hardly believe it’s the last day of July.

Time with you three seems to fly by. I am grateful for each moment we get to share together!

July was a fun month. We found us going our separate ways often. There weren’t many opportunities for photos together, but none the less, we had a great month!

Bill, RAGBRAI with you was incredible. Thank you for urging me to ride with you. Thank you for loving me through the meltdowns, the heat, the tent sleeping, the moments of frustration. We make a great team on that tandem! Our marriage will never be the same after last week. So thankful for you! I’m looking forward to celebrating our 22nd anniversary next week!

Alissa, I’m so proud of you, girl! A new apartment. A new direction in life. God is revealing His plans for you, one by one. Continue to put Him first in your life. You’re a blessing to me and to your dad. Thank you for your kindness, your thoughtfulness and your willingness to help take us and pick us up on RAGBRAI. (I’d love for you to go with us next year!) I love you more than you know, Lissy Lou. Come home soon… I’d love to spend some extra time with my favorite girl! 🙂

Zach, you certainly are one responsible and dependable young man! I am proud of you! Thank you for how you live your life. It’s hard to believe next month you’ll begin your Senior year of high school. It’ll go fast, and I know you’re going to make it great! Keep making good choices and follow God’s leading for your life. Continue to seek Him daily. He has a bright future in store for you. I’ll be cheering you on, every step of the way. I love you more than you know, Buddy!

August will be a full month for us all. I pray we continue to make each other, our family, and our faith in God a priority! I love each of you to the moon and back twice! 🙂

Love,

Your Wife & Momma
