Hello. This is Justin. Libby is at work and I feel pressure to update this puppy so here it goes, although for most of my life I have been a man of few 'blogs'.
We are quite at home in Chesapeake. Virginia is the sweetest place going, although, honestly we miss the bluegrass and also Michigan for all its mild summers. Michigan can keep its winter. :)

This weekend happened sometime in the fall. Its funny to think about last fall, because it was truly the most blessed time of our lives.

Also the most busy/crazy/ridiculous/lovely/interesting/telling/trying/enduring/etc time of our lives. The Lord has started a family within our young marriage and we both feel it and cherish it. And so we are home. Young Life is exciting to no end. These kids the Lord has placed in our lives are the sharpest, and they are seeking true, real, honest, and genuine life. Who isn't? We are passionate about working with these friends, and ministry has blessed us in ways that I can't even describe. It has brought us closer together in Christ and made us a team. Libby shines as she leads girls- Its fun to watch.

The pictures I have posted are from a surprise weekend for my birthday. Libby took us to a little bed and breakfast on Manteo Island, a little fishing town on the outer banks of North Carolina. It is called the 'blue atlantic mystery' and we like this place. It was extremely romantic and restful. Can you picture yourself there? On bikes with us? I couldn't insert a quote, but I am on that bike saying, "look out there, some sort of sea creature or something." On this trip, I started to think that 'pointing' at things in pictures was extremely funny, and I continued to do so. Libby was not so sure.

We miss our family. Family, please know how much we miss you.
with love.
