Aaron's off to Africa tomorrow!

WOW! It's been FOREVER since we've written anything here. We are
alive, well and loving life.  Judah is already almost 16 months- ahh!
It's so true what everyone tells you about kids growing up so fast. A
brief overview of us... Aaron has been working at our church
interviewing applicants to the School of Ministry.  It has been a
blessing and allows him to interact with lots of people (which of
course he loves!) and he's able to set his schedule which is really
great.  I'm loving being a mama, still doing jewelry and always having
new ideas of things I want to make and side businesses.  My latest
kick is refinishing old furniture- we'll see if I'm good enough at it
for it to actually become a side business.  As usual, I have way more
ideas than time. Ha ha. Well, I could write a lot more but mainly
wanted to let you all know that Aaron is leaving on a 2 week trip to
DR Congo TOMORROW! He is leading a team of 10 students from our
churches School of Ministry.  They will be partnering with some
awesome missionaries there and working with youth, pastors and
children doing all kinds of fun kingdom stuff.  Please keep him in
your prayers and for the whole team to be healthy, safe, full of God's
love and power- that people's lives would be radically transformed.
This will be the longest that we've ever been apart and definitely the
longest Judah's been apart from his papa... though I'm wondering if it
will be harder on Judah or on Aaron. Ha! They are pretty cute
together.  He gets back on the 26th. We'll try to get an update up
after he gets back with some good stories and pictures. =)
