Update on the Stamper Life

Hello friends and family. I managed to break our 2 week old camera :( -sad story- and we lost our internet connection 2 weeks ago when we moved, so I'm sorry I haven't connected with anyone or posted any recent pictures! I've missed you all. It's funny how close you feel to someone just reading their blog and posting on your own. I only have a few minutes in the library right now so I'll try to briefly update you on our lives so you'll know how to pray for us.

Jason graduates on Saturday. He's got so much to do this week to finish with seminary. This has been a long road and a hard one, but so wonderful too! God's provision for us has been amazing in this journey. Tonight we had a send-off for Pastor and Marie MacLachlan. They are leaving here in just 2 weeks. It has been awesome to serve with them for a short time on the pastoral staff here at Fourth. We never dreamed of this opportunity 5 years ago when we moved here, but here we are. We will miss them and will always remember their modeling authentic Christianity on a daily basis.

The kids are doing really well with this transition to a new house. Ella and Jonas are sleeping great. They are loving their new bedrooms, the big back yard, and "Lady" the dog who lives next door. Kate is not a very happy baby yet. She's a little trial. I hate to end on this note, but I have to go. I'll try to post again after graduation.

Kate. . .a trial. . .I can't believe that. She is always an angel when I see her. :)

Beth, Don't know if you'll see this any time real soon, but can you email your address to me? Thanks!!

Congrats Jason on graduation! Congrats Beth on helping him through it (at times it was more like "putting up with him" I'm sure!). God has given you quite a few things in the past few years that you hadn't necessarily planned for that time frame - Jonas, Ella, and Kate to name a few! :) And God gifted us with being able to get to know you and have many memories. For that I am very grateful. I look forward to your after-graduation-post – and to your camera being repaired or replaced! I really want to see pics of the house. Until then, know you're in our thoughts and prayers.

I wanted to let you know that you have been "tagged." Sorry, I had to. . .i don't know tons of bloggers. Go to my blog to see what it is all about. It's actually fun. I can't wait to see what you write.

Congrats to Jason on his graduation! Don is one more year away from graduation from CBTS of VB. He has a fairly easy last two semesters, which we are thankful for. What a great feeling it must be to be DONE, Done, not just simply moving to a new school to continue on. However, I know they will never stop learning and growing.

I miss you being able to have internet access! I can't wait to get an update on my little nieces and nephew...but I understand about the struggle of trying to keep up with no internet! I will be patient though...love you all!
