We are grateful family from all over came together to celebrate Richard and Zona’s milestone anniversary. You cannot talk about their marriage without talking about their faith and service to others. They give God the glory for their legacy and are an example to us all.

We are grateful we spent Thanksgiving day just the four of us watching the parade, taking naps, eating too much food, and playing our new Labyrinth tabletop game.

We are thankful that when our year doesn’t go as planned, our hope and peace rest in His hands. We are especially grateful for friends and our church community here who walk with us while we are so far from our families.

Happy Thanksgiving!
