A Grand 'ol 24 Hours!

There is nothing quite like spending time with good friends.  Stephen & Autumn Byxbe work with New Vision Ministries, they are about 2 hours away from us in Haiti.  We have been planning a weekend gathering for quite some time and it finally worked out for the Byxbe family to come up to our house yesterday.  

Trey & Autumn grew up going to the same summer camp and have known each other for several years.  I have had the pleasure of getting to know Autumn over the past few years as well.  Autumn came to Haiti on a short-term mission trip and met her husband Stephen.  They are such a fun couple and it is a huge blessing to get to be serving in the same country as them.

We enjoyed an afternoon, evening, and Saturday morning of relaxation.  They are in the process of adopting and brought there little man Josiah up to spend some time with us as well.  He is soooo much fun!

 We don't have any items in our house for children so we had to get creative and give little Jo Jo a booster seat for dinner last night.  

Stephen and Autumn will be celebrating their one year wedding anniversary one week before Trey & I celebrate our two year anniversary in March.  Upon making this realization yesterday we instantly began planning a "2nd Honeymoon/Couple Vacation"  Stephen and Trey were on the internet for quite some time last night scouting out a variety of different options.  Josiah was a faithful assistant.

We enjoyed some good eats, and watching the movie Courageous (Put out by the creator of "Fireproof", very good!), and some good 'ol chit chat.  I'm pleased to say the weekend was a success and we look forward to getting together with the Byxbe's again soon!

 Pray for Stephen & Autumn as they raise Josiah into a man who loves the Lord.  Pray for the Byxbe's as they are hoping to begin renting a house in Haiti very soon, pray that finances and logistics fall into place.  Pray for the young missionary families throughout Haiti who are seeking to make Haiti their home.
