"You make me melt like a popsicle on the fourth of july..." -Little Rascals

4th of July weekend is officially one of my favorite weekends of all time!  
Three years ago 4th of July weekend was when I KNEW Trey was the man I was supposed to marry.  We had spent the summer working at different camp properties and 4th of July was the first weekend we both were free.

This picture was taken about an hour after we had seen each other during the summer of '09.  Although we were both so tired from working at camp we spent every moment possible together that weekend.  It was 5:30 Sunday morning that Trey had to leave to head back to camp.  I did not have to be back at camp until later that day.  While standing in the driveway crying over having to say goodbye it was then that I realized that I no longer wanted to spend my life doing ministry separated from Trey Salter.  I knew the Lord was orchestrating our lives together and we were heading in the same direction as we followed Him.  I waved goodbye and eagerly anticipated what it would be like to leave early in the morning with Trey one day to serve the Lord together.

Fastforward to July 4th 2011...
Yet another great weekend with the love of my life.  Except this time we did not have to say goodbye to one another when the weekend came to an end.  We piled into the vehicle together and were off for another adventure!

It is truly a gift to get to do life with my best friend.  As we plan our move to Haiti there is a lot to be accomplished between now and September.  Pray that this time of transition is smooth for us as well as our families.  Pray that along the way we do not get distracted and fail to remember our purpose which is to bring Glory to our Lord in all we say and do!  May we never be too "busy" to stop and dwell on the goodness of our Great God!
