The week following Christmas, Robert and I took off and visited some friends in West Virginia and North Carolina.
Aunty Alice and Uncle Ralph Andrus are a dear couple in WV who have been a part of my life since before I was born. They led my Mama back to the Lord, counseled and married my parents, baptized both my parents and siblings over the years, and dedicated us when we were babies. They continue to be a special part of our lives and we couldn’t drive past them and miss a chance to visit!
Our next stop was Lauren and Josiah Faas in Raleigh, NC. Lauren and I took college courses together, roomed together in Chicago, and still stay in touch as very close friends. I was able to meet her little girl, Lily Rose, for the first time, too!
The Stelzls graciously opened their home for a visit so Robert and I enjoyed a couple days in their incredible hospitality! The boys loved Robert and kept him busy wrestling, tackling football, playing games, telling stories, and playing the piano! We feasted on incredibly delicious food and enjoyed fun fellowship, good talks, and uplifting singing by the campfire.
It was our joy to have you stop by. (Just wasn’t long enough 🙂 ) We so enjoyed getting to know a little more about Robert and hearing more of your story. Love you both.
