To all of you out there that are such WONDERFUL supporters - please forgive me for being MIA! Since Rusty's been home (and I've officially been on "vacation") I haven't really been answering emails, etc. So, I just wanted to give you a quick update on where and how we've been!
Rusty's been keeping people updated so much better than I have with facebook pictures and blog updates, so I wanted to share his last two picture blogs with you. The first was from our reunion! I can't describe how incredible it was to be reunited after being apart so long! To see that blog, just click here:
Since he picked me up in Memphis, we've already been to 6 cities and 4 states (in the past week!) and we're still traveling. We finally took a day today to rest and get some work done, as we've been constantly on the go. So far, I've been meeting his friends and family around Arkansas. They were all absolutely WONDERFUL!!! It was such a blessing to meet the people who mean so much to him, and to finally be home with him. THANK YOU to all of you who opened your homes, fed us, and blessed us with great visits :)

Now we're finally in Alabama! Rusty's been meeting my friends and family here in Oxford and we've really been having a great time. Next up is a trip through Auburn, down to Mobile for a talent competition I'm in, back through Auburn for a day, and then finally back to Gainesville, GA.
God has been blessing our time together immensely. It has surpassed all our hopes and expectations! I'm so thankful for your encouragement and for the prayers I know you've been covering us with. Please keep us in your prayers as we travel and as we try to keep up with our CRAZY schedule! I think last night we finally realized we were getting a little overwhelmed at all the traveling and meeting so many people at once. So please pray that God will give us rest and focus, plenty of grace, and that He will give us the strength we need to get everything done (and to realize our limits if we can't). We want to see as many loved ones as possible, but appreciate your understanding in the midst of the craziness ;)
Please pray also for divine appointments along the way. Pray He continues to use us to be a light for Him - to speak life and truth over everyone we come in contact with!
We love you all!
