On Sunday, November 23 we had our first baby shower. It was hosted by my sister, Kerri, and my good friend, Laurie. It was held at Kerri’s house. Thank you girls both so much for all your hard work and preparation to make our first baby shower so special. Kerri, thank you for opening your gorgeous home and for all the details that made the event so beautiful! Many of my friends from high school and college were able to attend. It was also wonderful to have my mom and both of my grandmothers there. I was surrounded by pink and the cutest girly things you have ever seen! I was so blessed to have my family and some of my dearest friends there to celebrate this special occasion with me. Their prayers, love, friendship, encouragement, and generosity are such a blessing to us as we begin this new journey! I love you girls so much!
We met in college and after three years of dating were married December 4, 2004. Jon works for Children's Health System as an Technical Support Analyst and Karen is a kindergarten teacher. Our greatest joy is knowing and serving Christ as a family. We are in our "element" when we are spending quality time with our family and close friends, serving and growing at our church, and impacting the fields of business, health care, family, and education for Christ. We were blessed beyond measure with a daughter, Ansley Elise, born in April 2009!
Our Family Vision is to "give life." (John 10:10)
Our Family Mission is to be an eternity focused family. We will passionately follow Christ with all of our heart, mind, body, and soul. We are blessed by God to be a blessing to others and we will give to those who can give nothing back to us. Our family is our first church where the fruits of the Spirit will exist, thus creating a safe, nurturing and unified environment. Believing that the Christian life is more than spiritual discipleship and character development, we will draw our power and authority from the Holy Spirit. We desire not to miss any gift or opportunity that God has for us. Through the Holy Spirit's power, our family will ignite passion in the lives of others both here and around the world.
