Wow, I can’t believe that we have been married for two months already! Where does time go? I guess the old adage, “time flies when you’re having fun,” really is true. We are so blessed! Much has happened recently, so I thought I’d give you a brief update of what’s been going on in our lives…
On April 9, 2011, we were married in Tualatin, Oregon! Then we enjoyed a honeymoon in Cannon Beach, Oregon and Orcas Island, Washington.
In May, my parents, John and Yvonne Cherry, came for a visit. Along with eating at our favorite breakfast place (Frank's Diner), watching part of the Lilac Festival parade, walking around Spokane Falls and doing a lot of catching up, we also went flying around the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area.
Mom and I thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the back seat looking at the beautiful scenery and watching our boys in the front having fun flying.
Memorial Day Weekend- One year ago Jeremy and I met face-to-face for the first time when I drove up to Spokane for the Moody Aviation graduation and dinner cruise on Lake Coeur d'Alene. This year it was fun going to the graduation and dinner cruise as Mrs. Jeremy Toews! Here we are with the couple that set us up. Thanks, Ian and Lela Kerrigan!
In the beginning of June, the staff at STC (Christopher, Tyler, Alycia, Ken and Jeremy) finished another training cycle. They also had to say goodbye to Christopher Clark and his family as their furlough ended, and they headed back to serve in Papua New Guinea with JAARS.
For two weeks in June, Jeremy's brother, Nathan, came and stayed with us while he took Peak 7's Wilderness First Responder course. It was great to have him here!
As Spring ends and summer begins, so also begins another exciting season. Jeremy and I will be taking a cross-country trip in order to attend a cousin's wedding, work at the Oshkosh fly-in with STC, connect with supporters and supporting churches, meet our new little niece/nephew that is due in the middle of July, and also visit family and friends.
