A Special Update

There's been a big change in my life! On September 12, 2015 I married Blake, a wonderful, Godly man. God's goodness is so evident in bringing us together. Blake also works with Bridges International down in Houston, and I am so thankful that we can live life on mission together! I can't believe that a year has already passed since getting married.

Here are a few pictures from that special day! We got married in Tennessee, where I had been with Bridges for the past 6+ years. It was like a special goodbye for me.

God's goodness.

I'm so thankful my family was there to celebrate with us!

We are now both working with Bridges International in Houston. There is lot's of new in my life! Marriage, location, friends. Thanks for praying for us!
