Our family at The Wedding

This update is “a wee bit tardy”, as my old Scottish fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Brass, would have said; but, we’ll try to make up for it with pictures!

Historic Christian Church

On Saturday we celebrated Charissa and Davin’s marriage in the old historic Capitol City Christian Church in Boise. The building dates from the early 1900s and is a fine example of the “round” church architectural style (it’s on the National Historic list). It was a wonderful time with many old friends (and some new ones as well). We really wish that all of you could have joined us!

After the ceremony, we went to the “Rose Room” on Idaho Street for the reception. (Dad had the second dance with the bride and even earned a compliment - Charissa has amazing rhythm, so that’s praise indeed!) The following morning -near noon - about twenty folk from the wedding party gathered for breakfast/brunch at our house and watched presents being opened. A very special “Thank You!” to all!

Now the new couple is on their way to Germany, where they’ll spend two months working in Berlin. (Davin has some overseas requirements linked to his major in International Relations and Charissa wants to do an internship there in trauma therapy with her German godfather, Arne.) Hopefully, Mom and Dad will link up with them in July — if we can sell or rent our home by then. (Prayer request!)

As far as the remodeling in “Haus Nazareth”, things are pretty much at a stand-still until the funds come in to pay the bills that have already accumulated. I’ll try to explain this more specifically in a future blog or email; but for right now: Thanks for your thinking of us and your prayers. Please know how much you’re appreciated!
