Travis recently finished his graduate degree and has decided to settle in Houston, TX...the main purpose being to pursue a future with a certain young lady. This weekend he brought Emily up to Wisconsin so we could meet each other.

Julie (Justin's wife) went on a missions trip to Peru about 16 months ago. Emily was in Peru for the summer as a translator for missions groups. They met and became fast friends. Emily flew to Wisconsin to see Julie and had a chance to meet Travis. I wasn't there but I guess something 'clicked.' Travis went to New Zealand for school and Emily returned to Texas as a middle school teacher. They communicated for 9 months and saw each other twice.

She is a sweet, kind woman. It's been delightful to see them interact and hear about the growth in their relationship. God is doing good things in their spiritual lives too. We will wait and see what happens (with a grin and raised eyebrows).
