all grown up!

i love these people. the older i get the more i appreciate people that influenced my life as a teenager. Brent and Becky were the youth pastor(s) at my church in Mora and i remember loving going to youth events cuz of them. they made it fun, and applicable to my life. they made you feel loved and appreciated. they made loving Jesus cool! Brent is the worlds best story teller...he can make you laugh out loud in a second, yet challenge in a way that you've never been challenged before! Becky was a ton of fun as well. i remember her being 'one of the girls' more than an adult figure- someone you felt comfortable with...you could tell anything too. i also babysat there two boys; when they were like 3 and 4 years old!!! Brady (the one with the hat on) is in 9th grade now and that makes me feel so old. i went to his basketball game the other night and was floored at how big he is....and mature! Robbie, his younger brother was off playing hockey that night so didn't get to see him. i love these people, it's that simple. they make you seem like something special when they see you and always wanna hear how life is. they just recently moved back to MN and i am so thankful that they now attend the same church i do, so i get to see them on a regular basis...i love that. anyway- i am so thankful that Brent and Becky were apart of my teen years growing up, and are now apart of my adult life. it is truly a blessing. and i am so excited to watch Brady and Robbie grow up into God loving men! the girls are gonna chase them like crazy, i am sure of it! thanks for everything Brent and Becky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you guys rock.
