Something a little different...

I've been posting so much about my upcoming trip to Uganda lately that I thought it was time for something a little different.  Cher and I are working on finishing a new table for our family.  We've always had kind of a small table - it barely fits 6 people around and then there is no room for the food to sit on the table too.  The table we are finishing is a lot bigger and has 2 additional sections you can ad to extend it.  

I love this table and all it stands for in my mind!  It means we can actually have friends and family over and all sit at the same table, with the food there too!  It also means we have space for many more kids :)  I don't know how big God wants our family to be, but I'm pretty sure we could fit 12 people around this table, so I think we're ready for more!   It also stands for something Cher and I are doing (and in the future - did) together.  I love doing projects with my wife!  The stuff that we do together just comes out better.  I don't know what it is, but I know that we work well together and I cherish the memories of the process with her.  That's kind of how it's been our whole marriage.  The process of things we do together just seem to work out better.  Isn't it amazing how God can bring two people together from totally different backgrounds and up-bringings and have them just fit and complete each other?  Cher is definitely someone VERY special to me and I am truly blessed to have a wife like her!!  So, this table is more then just a table to me, it is a journey and a process I get to share with my wife.  I love you, Cher!  I can't wait to share many memories with you (and our family) around this table!!
