Well a new year has begun and many changes have come into our family. In ringing in this new year, we have another wedding of our youngest daughter to the man of her dreams. She will be marrying on July 18th to Matt, (who we have already adopted as our son ) When our children were born to us, we prayed that when they began to search for a mate, that God would provide them with a good Christian mate and so far God has answered those prayers for us. We could have not chosen better mates for our children if we had gone to search for them ourselves.
We are so pleased to have such good Christian leadership in our children's lives.
Jessica twin brother, James married in June of 2008 after graduation from the Air Force Academy, he and his wife are living in Mississippi. He will begin the pilot program this month,which is a desire of his heart. Not quite sure of the type of plane yet, (of course Mom would rather have him stay on the ground, but God will take care of my son, in all his endeavors that undertakes.)
My oldest daughter and her husband moved from Daytona Beach to Pensacola which we are so glad that she is so close now. Our oldest son and his wife live in Panama City and he has begin to entertain with a new project in his life, he is beginning to like politics. (it is in the blood, he comes by it naturally).
Our middle daughter has achieved in getting her masters degree in counseling and psychology of which we are so proud of her, we will be attending her graduation in Orlando this month. Way to go DABNEY!!!
As for Bob and I, life goes on, in September of 2008, Bob stepped down from the pastorate and became the Assistant pastor of Missions for our Church, he is very happy and content. He has always had a love for Uganda and now these trips can become more frequent, which is his love. He is already planned a trip for this January 2009 with a great team accompanying him.
We have a new pet which we call Holly, we got her in December, so we named her Holly, she is a combination of a miniature dachshund and part something else which are not too sure as yet to how big she will get, but she is truly a sweet dog. We now are up to three dogs, of which two are not ours. Our daughters have the same love for the dogs as their mother does. If it was left up to us. we would probably a yard full. But Dad says that's enough.
Well this will bring you up to date for the Hayes Gang, May you all have wonderful New Year and an Healthy one.
