Hooray-Hooray for the 8th of May


Steve Vernon taught me to remember his birthday by the saying above. That is so clever. We celebrated Steve's birthday at their home on the 8th of May. I just didn't take any pictures that night. So for this post, I am uploading a picture that I took the next week at Geoff's college graduation. The picture is Steve, Ilene, Goeff and his fiance Amy.

Steve and Ilene are getting ready to travel to the Ukraine(I think, I may have to edit the country, it is beside Russia), to do mission work for a few weeks. Ilene's sister, Pam is married to Paul Chinikiniada, who is Russian. Paul and Pam, Steve and Ilene and two of their nieces have this wonderful opportunity to go and do mission work in that country. Paul, who speaks Russian will be able to preach over there and Ilene is working with small children. Pray for them as they go on this trip that the Lord will bless their work.

Steve is also the one that started the "blog" thing and really aroused my curiosity on blogging. I thought "if he can do this, so can I". It has been fun Steve, thank you for introducing me to blogging.

Steve is married to Ilene and they have two sons, Goeff and Tim. Geoff just graduated from Texas Tech with a Chemical Engineering degree and will be moving to Houston this week to start his new job with British Petroleum. Geoff is engaged to Amy, an accounting major, who will join him in Houston in December. Their wedding is in January. Tim is a student at South Plains and he has been blessed with musical talents. I am not sure what his major is.

Ilene is a buyer for Roden Smith here in Clovis. She is looking forward to adding another female to the family.

We will be praying for you guys.

Love Sandy

I just received an e-mail from the Vernons and here is the blog that will keep up with their daily activities in the Ukraine.
