This last weekend was a pretty big one.
We started off by celebrating my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary. I love my parents so much and am so grateful to have such amazing parents!
We all celebrated with close friends and family at a local Thai Restaurant where the food was delicious...
Then on Sunday, Symon and I were prayed in (inducted/ordained) as the senior pastors of our church. It was a wonderful morning, with lots of tears, smiles and precious moments. It was extra special having Symon's brother secretly arrive from Australia for occasion.
It was a seriously amazing weekend, filled with family, friends and so many things to be thankful to God for.
