Our dear friends, the Marquez's, came to visit over the weekend. We met their family 18 (ish) years ago when we both were on road trips, driving through Minnesota, at a gas station! My Dad happened to notice a bumper sticker on their van, and asked, Joe something like, "Are there still people gettin' saved down in South Carolina?" And one of their daughters, Julia, bopped over to our car and introduced herself to Krista and I...and asked if there were any cute boys in the car w/ us! (Ha, Ha! nope!) The rest is history! 3 hours later, we both pulled out of the gas station and are now fast friends w/ the Marquez Family. Joe and Ramona, have 4 children- all who are married w/ children. 2 of their children w/ their kiddos came and camped out w/ us over the weekend. I haven't laughed so much in 1 weekend for a long time! They are the funniest, sweetest, dearest people you'd ever meet, and I'm so glad the Lord allowed our paths to cross so many years ago. It's so encouraging to be around other families who are serious about the Lord, and are teaching and training their children.
