Jennifer, one of my best friends, married Kevin Grant on Saturday. What a day of celebrating we had!
It was our first wedding to attend as the Bentleys. How we appreciated all of the wedding-week elements, having gone through it all ourselves almost 5 months ago!

We drove to Loveland, Colorado today to spend time helping our dear friends Jennifer and Kevin with last minute wedding prep for Saturday.
Well, and, to be honest, we just wanted a bit more time with them. (Since Kevin won the “red rover” game and Jennifer’s moving from Orlando to Memphis.)
When we crossed into Colorado from Nebraska it seemed that everywhere we looked we saw splashes of yellow.

A big thank you to past roommies Jodi and Deb for helping pack up our little kitchen in Winter Park, Fla! Scott’s back and my sanity are indebted.
No idea why they’re laughing. The sheer joy of helping us, I’m sure. (Deb looks a bit dressed up because we three had just gone to dinner. Sparkles aren’t usually her clothing choice for working.)
Oh, the good times we’ve had over 6 1/2 years as roommates!
Scott and I packed up our ‘04 Ford Ranger truck to the hilt (still for sale if you’re lookin’) and headed north, to Atlanta.
Former Campus Crusade missionaries as well as a former pastor and wife, the Joneses know the toll can be of being in full-time ministry and offer a haven through TeamMates in Ministry.
Where we dined the first morning. Peggy, you’re such a great cook as well as hostess!
Us ladies sans makeup at breakfast. Jennifer roadtripped with us as we were dropping her off in Memphis. Scott and I met Dave & Peggy at the FamilyLife conference we attended in March where they were speakers and couldn’t wait for Jennifer to have time with them as Jennifer gets married September 6th. Woo hoo!
We’re in Dave & Peggy’s backyard. Seriously. I told them that they should call their B&B “Restorative Inn.”
After 3 glorious days we bid the Joneses goodbye (for now) and drove north…getting further into the South.
When the graffiti is about church, you know you’re in the south.
Scott likes how the zebra print brings out the stripes in my shirt. I like how tough Scott looks. We found these at a gas station slash Dairy Queen. Never know when you might have a hankerin for a Blizzard and a hat to get you through the storm.
Now, we’re here in Iowa safe and sounds (as of last Wednesday) and loving time catching up with old friends and making new ones as we get opportunities to talk about our ministry with Campus Crusade.
