Happy Birthday . . .

Kristyn: Creative, loving, Patient, Inspiring Mother

Sweet Kristyn, I feel like we've been friends much longer than a year and 1/2! Your friendship has been such a blessing to me. You are a deeply inspiring woman of God. Your love for Ryan and Jack is steady and true, your patience for teaching children who really do not want to learn is never-ending and your passion for Christ-centered living is infectious. Though I am so sad you, Ryan and Jack will be leaving soon, I hope we will not live so far apart for too long! Love and blessings to you on your birthday!

Ryan: Inventive, Hardworking, Not easily surprised

Happy Birthday Brother-in-law! You are such an important part of our family and I have been blessed by your presence. Addison Road would not run as smoothly as it does without your passionate, creative, (lets be honest) OCD work ethic! Getting to watch you grow from a husband to a husband and a father has been a joy. Your love for Anniston is overflowing and contagious. Ray and I loved being apart of your first surprise party! Much love to you on you 30th Birthday!

Homestead

Yesterday the Millers and some of our best friends the Arnolds took advantage of (what turned out to be) beautiful weather and spent several hours at Homestead Heritage. This beautiful Anabaptist community uses God's creation and their gift-given abilities to create and sustain a more simplistic, Christ-centered way of life. There are several stores in the community where you can purchase their incredible creations, as well as a restaurant, in which I had a delectable turkey sandwich on the best gluten-free bread I have ever tasted (you gluten-free friends know what a huge discovery that is!). What an exciting opportunity to be invited to into such a loving community and be encouraged to look around!
