Ben and Esther's Engagement Party

Paul and I had the privilege of traveling to Florida to share in a very special Engagement Party hosted by Ben's family.  It would be very hard to explain in words how wonderful it was.  Everyone poured their hearts into making it so very special.  Lots and lots of work making and serving lots and lots of very special and delicious food.  Ben and Esther had put together a beautiful video for all to watch.  Of course, I cried (silently). The program was very meaningful also with both fathers praying, two pastors giving a short message, and a few close friends sharing memories. 

Here are just a few photos to hopefully give you  a small "taste" of the event:
