It's a nice day for a...

WHITE WEDDING!!! Our friends Andy and Laura are getting married this afternoon. We are so pleased the Lord has allowed us to know them and be a part of their lives and their wedding! Andy was one of my Orientation Counselors for 2 years. I remember seeing his application and thinking, "Wow, an Eagle Scout. I bet he'd make a great OC." And he did, so much so that I asked him back for a second year. It was his second year as an OC that he mentioned this girl Laura in one of our meetings. He was concerned about hurting another girl in order to pursue Laura. I advised him to pray about it and that if he felt God was urging him to pursue Laura, that he should. Along with other counsel and wisdom, he did! And the rest is history!

I first met Laura on my way to teach Freshman Seminar. Andy was my teaching assistant and Laura had walked with him to class. She was beautiful and it was obvious she really liked Andy. I knew then that God had big plans for the 2 of them!

Andy and Laura eventually began attending our church. Andy also needed an internship for his degree program and I talked with Jonathan about the possibility of his company hiring Andy for the semester. The semster turned into the rest of the year and that year turned into a full time job. Jonathan and Andy were able to really get to know each other through that avenue.

Jonathan and I have both enjoyed watching the ways in which the Lord has grown both Andy and Laura over the last 2 years. We have enjoyed growing our relationship with them simply from employee/supervisor to dear, sweet friends.

Andy and Laura ~ May God continue to draw You to Himself as He draws you closer to one another. We pray the love you now have for one another will only grow and the relationship you have with one another only deepen as you seek to serve our King, our Lord Jesus. We love you both and look forward to knowing you as Mr. & Mrs. Andy DeBruhl!
