I can truly say that Jeannine is one of my best friends.  She encourages me and prays for me probably more than any person on this earth!  I am so thankful for her!!

My cousin Jessica (Noyes) Orbach married Chris Orbach on May 17, 2014.  We are happy for them.  They had their wedding in a rustic barn!  It was very unique.

David and I enjoyed making a "date" a couple of days before the wedding.  It was in Lancaster, Pa ~ Amish country.  We had a great time together.  Especially because I had just been gone for a week to NY for my Grandfather's death and funeral.  It helped me through my time of grief.

Little Sadie was with us due to her still nursing full-time.
