The Beach, the Wedding, and a Sermon or Two
Well, I am currently trying to upload Sam Franklin 2, which I finally have on my computer. Hopefully it will work this time. (I’ve tried two other times with no luck.)
Anna and I went to the beach with her family recently. We had a wonderful time, and it was a much needed break. We’d like to go back sometime, perhaps for longer. Here are a few pictures that you might enjoy. (I’ve learned that pictures have to be done right on blogs or they can be boring.)
Yes….I do like pictures of myself. Thanks for asking. 
This was when we got up early one morning to watch the sunrise. 
However, I like these better. 
While there we celebrated the one year anniversary of our courtship. Last year I brought her purple flowers. Once again, I did so this year. (With assistance from Mr. Philip.) 
We also took family pictures. I like these. OH, but you have to see a couple of Anna and I….
And on Saturday we went to the wedding of Heather Neiger and Caleb Murray. Heather used to “work for me” when I was at IBLP Headquarters a couple years ago. She’s a good friend and Anna and I are very pleased to see her so happy. Caleb is a lucky guy! I don’t know him as well, but I know him well enough to know that Heather has picked a keeper. God bless you both!
I got to MC the reception, which was a lot of fun. I announced the wedding party, along with Bride and Groom, as they entered the reception. One funny part is that I got one of the bridesmaid’s names wrong. The last name. She was married and I said her maiden name. Her husband was a good sport though.
They are a sweet couple, and I was glad to see the wedding. An interesting note, their first kiss was during the ceremony. (At least, that is my understanding.)
(Update: I wasn’t able to get Sam Franklin, Part 2 to upload to Xanga. I might try YouTube or GodTube and then embed it here.)
Here is a sermon or three. Let’s see about getting the audio up here. Hang on….
God bless ye, every one!

Yay!!! for pictures! We had a blast on vacation from…I mean, with you!
I love you, Jarod. Anna, you know I always have and will love you. And little one, well, Your Favorite Aunt LOVES YOU BESTEST of all!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 
It was GREAT to see the “three” of you at the wedding. We had an incredible time. We took our time driving back through the Appalachian Trail and Cades Cove in Tennessee. It was a very special time with Bryce and Heather- relaxing, bonding, talking, enjoying the beauty of God’s creation- before we returned to the business of their wedding preparations. 53 days to go! Love you! Mom Behrens
Very cute pictures Jarod! I especially like the ones of you and Anna…because the tree you guys are standing under is so awesome!! :o) Looked like you guys had a good time! That’s really cool that you got to go to Heather’s wedding!
Good post Jarod! Looking forward to seeing you in Nov.
whooo hooo! Good pictures!! 🙂 way to go. I liked that post a lot. I was thinking about how it had been a year since your courtship, and I thought I should send you an email but a comment works too 🙂
I thought about how if I was home (which I wasn’t) that maybe we could work it out to go to the wedding with you. Oh well, they’re having a reception in Maryland later…

haha, Jones soda. 🙂 That’s funny. I was wondering when I might see some pictures from people who went to the wedding!!
ok thats hilarious. The Jones soda looks EXACTLY like something Garret would do.
Thanks for posting a few pictures of the wedding! And that’s so cool that you have that good audio for your sermons!
