July 27 - Anniversary and Preparing for West Virginia

We are getting ready for a special trip to West Virginia to visit Becca's grandmother Francis Wilson. "Namur" or "Foxy G" will celebrate her 89th birthday on Sunday. She won't be at home when we arrive because she still volunteers as a pink lady at the hospital in Logan, West Virginia.

We will also visit Doug & Elizabeth "Bibus" Whitten, the two love birds. Bibus is Namur's daughter and sister of Francey Newland, the eternally blessed mother of my excellent and lovely bride. Doug is Bibus' sweety and husband. We will also be blessed to see Bibus' daughter Sarah, her husband Rusty and their two daughters Emily and Abbey. They have a new dog, so this shall be an adventure.

This is my first conscious visit to West Virginia. On a trip to Pennsylvania in 1989 I might have driven through it on I-81, but this is the first time that I have gone there in order to deliberately go there. Know what I mean?

On an even higher note, Becca and I had a great anniversary on July 24. If you are reading this and either attended or were involved in our wedding, God bless you. We think of you often. Some of our biggest laughs as a couple are when we tell what we remember of our wedding. You are always a part of those memories.

We had a great anniversary night at home remembering. There was a steak dinner as well as chocolate covered strawberries involved. :)

Grace and peace,
Trav Wilson
