Richie is home!

Today I've been able to talk to Richie! Not in depth, but for a bit. He's doing well. He's got a bit of a head cold, but he says he's fine. He is going to see a doctor as soon as he gets back. I'm so excited to see him tomorrow. I hope things aren't awkward or weird. Especially after not seeing him for a month and not talking to him for 2+ weeks. I know this time apart will help us in the long run and I'm so glad he will be driving home tomorrow. Not too much to report today. I finished my skirt today! I'll have to post photos tomorrow. My Nana would be proud of me for figuring it out. Tomorrow I'll try to post photos of Richie and I reuniting! I might only get to see him for an hour or so, so I took Monday off work so we could hang out and reconnect. Until tomorrow....

Houston, we've made contact!

I HEARD FROM RICHIE TODAY! It was less than 5 minutes, but every minute was so sweet! He is back in the country in Atlanta. He, the other leaders, and the kids are debriefing today. Then tomorrow the kids fly out and then the leaders debrief. So I expect the soonest I'll see Richie will be Monday. If he drives home Sunday I expect him to go home and sleep.

Today I got the well and pump finished! I'm so stoked to be getting sod put in. :) Here are some photos!

This is the bin my well pump is in. It's super nice!

The pump! Runs on 4 cents an hour of electricity! :)

Mor-ons: The Dirty Dena Experience

The last video from The Dirty Dena. Coming at you from 30,000 feet in the air. A rant about airport people....Tomorrow will be a long recap of the week and amazingness. The biggest news today? I heard from Rich. Not just an email from the AIM workers, but a personal one from Richie. I loved it. It's too personal to share, just know that he is safe and growing exponentially in Christ.  Be praying for this last week in the Amazon that he and the leaders have health, safety and run this last segment harder than ever for Christ. Enjoy the video and let me know your thoughts! :)

Stone's Family Photos

Today was a good day. Woke up. Got a wall post from Richie letting me know he was in Peru safely. So now we are in the days of no communication. I know he will call or write or text if he can. I miss him a little less today. I think its because I was at work all day and other than coming home for dinner with out him, my day went the same it would as if he were home. After work I went to the gym and then had Catherine over for dinner! It was such fun to catch up with her. She helped me pick out some outfits for our engagement shoot. Which, by the way is going to be on July 29th! Whoot! So excited! I know our photos are going to be awesome. I love our photographers so much! Their work is always awesome. I'm hoping that because Richie and I won't have seen each other for a month our love will be seen so much more. I was able to edit some photos of the Stones from the shoot on Friday. Hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

One of my faves

Kept it just because it was hilarious!

This might be my favorite.
