A Very Special Day

July 21st has always been an important day for our family because it is the day God chose to give us our Jayna Elizabeth. This year, the day became important for another reason. It is the day our very special friends Israel Cox and Michelle (Lewis) Cox joined in marriage. Israel, a long time friend, has been staying with us on the weekends since December, so we have felt like he was a member of the family. (Autumn has especially formed a bond with him.) Michelle has always been very special to us, but especially to Jayna. They spent many "girl days" together. It has been a blessing to watch this wonderful couple grow in Christ as they grew together in their relationship. Therefore, it was beautiful to watch them take the next step in their God led journey together. We are missing them both very much, as they moved to Swartz Creek, but we praise God for their friendship and committment to Him, as well as each other. Jayna was able to spend her birthday as their flower girl. This made her day. She also enjoyed celebrating with Stacie (a bridesmaid and friend) as "the birthday buddies." Thanks Izzy and Michelle for making her feel so special. We love you both!
