Hello world!
Yeah, it sure has been a long time since I've let you know my happenings...I do appologize with deepest regrets! Though maybe you will forgive me when I tell you what I've been up to.....I got married! Actually I should say, "WE got married!" Yep, on a sunny Saturday morning in Kansas City, Kansas (actually Overland Park if that says anything!) we said the 'I do's' and 'I will's' and lit the candle, swapped the rings and stuffed each other's mouths with delicious tasting carrot wedding cake! It was such an amazing experience to have so many friends and family from all over the world (well... maybe just Europe and America) come together, we heard a great message from my father-in-law and enjoyed a beautiful aftewrnoon eating MORE cake and food and trying to catch up with people before those glasses started clinging and we got to humiliate ourselves in front of everyone yet another time (someone said it was tradition....)!
Anyway....after a romantic honeymoon in San Antonio, and Corpus Christi, and Mexico, and Oklahoma City....basically a roadtrip covering over 2700 miles, we found ourselves back in sunny Stoke-On-Trent, England in our new house! Looking around we were overwhelmed by how much God has blessed us over the last year and month! Yes, we were also blessed by so many gifts from friends and family (and a mountain of Thank you cards to write!) and amazed at how all but one (though we are grateful for it as well!)were so perfectly chosen according to our tastes and needs!
Now...what about the treasure you're wondering? Well....stopping by my parents-in-laws place after returning I noticed the following sticker on the back of my brother-in-law Mark's car (though it is officially Alastair's car...but THAT'S a whole new story!). It read something like this: Don't be distracted by the car, my treasure is in heaven! How true it is! Not just that Mark's car is...well...best not to say anything here, but we can get so caught up in the world and the beauties, pleasures , but also sorrows and complaints that we forget all about our real treasure! People! Let's wake up and realise what lies ahead and what we're aiming for! Hey! We've got the greatest thing comming soon! Let's keep that gaze on our magnificent and glorious treasure.......and if we've got time, shed a glance on the world.
