More fun with the Shavers!!!

It was hard to leave the Shavers that beautiful Sunday afternoon.
We were so grateful to get to know their family and we pray that the
Lord will cross our paths again soon.

Dearest Shaver Family...
Thank you for the precious memories!!! Our time with you was short,
but we were all VERY blessed by having met each and everyone of you!!
We love you!!


Jess, Jordan, Justin and JulieAnna

 

Trying to say goodbye...it wasn't easy!!

 

 

Some pictures of our day in Seattle.

Howdy Y'all! Thanks for checking back for more pictures of our trip. These pictures are of our day in Seattle, Washington. We have lots of pictures to still put on here, but due to bad internet connection and late nights we haven't been able to do much :). We'll be putting more on later. So keep checking back!
Thank's a bunch.
In Christ,
Rachel

Trip pictures update...

Blessings in the name of the Lord!!! Our trip is going great
so far. We have been on the road for 12 days and have about that
many to go... We are doing our best to post pictures as quickly as
possible, but have not always had good internet reception to do so.
Please bear with us and know that we will post as we can, and if we
don't get much done before it is all over, we will make up for it when
we get home.
We have been having a great time thus far, but I also think everyone
will be glad to get home. Our trek back across this beautiful nation
starts tomorrow. We leave Marysville, WA in the morning and will be
travelling thru Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri,
Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and then back to Florida!!!
We do miss our family and friends, but are also so very blessed to be
experiencing the things we have thus far. Please pray for us on our way
home...we covet your prayers!!
Much Love from the Graves family....
