A SPECIAL TIME

Last night I got home from Kansas City. My family gave Eliana and I a wedding shower. Eliana was not able to be there, but they were able to meet Eliana through the webcam, and I helped to translate. It was really neat to see what all they did for us at the wedding shower. In the first photo, that is the shirt they wanted me to wear on Saturday. On the front of the shirt it says "Groom To Be". We had lots of deserts to eat, as you can see in the second photo. Notice the heart shaped ice in the punch. And the third photo is of the photo album that they gave us. My cousin Jamie M. put the album together, and we really like it. It also has a geneology that my Grandma Ford has made. It is both on the Ford and the Stinemetz side. On the Stinemetz side it goes all the way back to someone born in 1723.

We played games, including Jeopardy, and the categories included topics like "Peru", "Tim and Eliana", etc. They also sang a song, but it was a pretty old song, and I think from sometime in the early 1900's. It was good to see everyone again before I go to Peru. Thanks to everyone for doing that, and for giving us a special day.

Now, I also wish to add a few words to which my love wrote, it was my desire to be in that celebration that the family of Tim had for us, but trust that in Gods time I will be able to be united with Tims family. I am happy for being part of a so wonderful family and desire that that time can soon be. The day Saturday was very special, and I was really glad in seeing and greeting all the family who was reunited there celebrating with Tim. I saw all the things which they did, a beautiful cake, the candies, a beautiful album of photos and a picture where we are both, and also other things more and really each detail is special and very I am thankful for the love you expressed in each of the things you did for us. I really do not have many words to say how happy that I feel, and single I can say that desire that God blesses all of you very much.
