This year we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary on the same day as my nephew's wedding. It was such a joy watching two young people start their lives together on the same day we did, only 40 years apart. We have this sweet picture with our children, Brandon and Chelsea, as a precious memory of the day.

Throughout this year we have celebrated 4 family weddings, traveled to numerous cities, attended special meetings, visited with old friends and Geobound partners, enjoyed the company of many family members and took time to relish the life Rod and I have made together. It seems like a whirlwind of activity now as I think back, but in fact every month this year has built upon the next restoring joy and health and reinvigorating us to keep reaching for the next moment we can make memories with friends and family.

I heard a quote from a pastor that summarizes the place we find ourself with Geobound, "Don't continue to reminisce the past when there's so much more to dream about doing." We did take time to think about the past 40 years, but we are certainly in full swing of dreaming about the future and what this coming year will bring. We are so thankful for the numerous blessings we have to praise the Lord for.

From our family to yours, we pray that your heart be overwhelmed with God's goodness and abundance.
