melissa when she was about 3...seems like yesterday
Melissa and Lee
Melissa will be getting married July 3rd 2009! This was not a surprise as we have seen she and Lee grow in their relationship over the past year. What a blessing to see God bring the 2 of them together and give them a desire to Glorify him together with their lives. If anyone is prepared for marriage to a minister it is Melissa at least she cant say she doesn't know what to expect. Lee graduates from Boyce here at southern seminary and will continue to pursue his education and begin studying for his masters degree. Melissa already has an apartment on campus that is cheap and includes utilities so they should be able to handle things financially. They are both frugal and wise so we have no worries.What an amazing time for parents when the first born gets married. Such a mix of emotions.Such a big dose of reality as to your own aging and how time is passing quickly. It has made me want to have another baby. I hope that is normal lol.I guess I am not ready for the starting of life and parenting to be over. What a range of thoughts and emotions...joy...fear...inadequacy...excitement...
sadness...all coming at one time.I find myself praying more so that is a good consequence. I am looking forward to all the fun things that have to be done.I pray that I will keep my head and enjoy this time and help Melissa enjoy this time as well.

Congratulations Melissa!!!!! What is so scary is that I remember you being that little! I guess that makes me old too. I am so excited for this new chapter. What an exciting time for you! May God truly bless the years ahead. I pray that your wedding is everything you have dreamed of, but most of all, I pray for a marriage that is full of love, joy, and a lifetime of wonderful memories in your service to our precious Lord.

Becky and Robert, this is such exciting news. I know you are very proud of Melissa. And you will be gaining a son-in-law. I will remember to pray for the wedding planning as well as their lives together.
We're so happy about what God has done! Though we haven't experienced those types of emotions as parents, we are certainly beginning to understand them because of how fast time is going by!!
-Allen and Morgan
