Happy Birthday, Joshua!

Josh celebrating his birthday last year in Spain

Oh my goodness--can you believe our oldest nephew is 15 today? Crazy, I tell you! CRAZY!

I remember the day Joshua was born--it was 1994, and I was in college. I was working in the gift wrap department of Proffitt's (mall department store). I didn't go to work that day because my family and I went to Knoxville to see our very first nephew! So exciting!

Josh is now 15 years old, and he has such a strong heart for the Lord. He is an encouragement and a light. He loves to read God's Word and to share it with others. He also is a great help to his parents--he is quick to lend a hand whenever needed (which is quite often when you have seven younger brothers and sisters). He loves soccer--and is pretty dang good!

We love you, Josh, and we miss you so much! We hope your birthday is fabulous!


Josh loves soccer--here he is at soccer camp with his Dad, two brothers and a cousin.
