A quick look through July posts from the past few years, and this week\u2019s recycled post was a no brainer. Two years ago this week, Allen called with big news that delighted us all. He and the love of his life were engaged. Our delight (and theirs) has only increased in the past two years. Abbey and Allen complement one another beautifully, and she is a blessing to our family.<\/p>\n

Big News – Recycled<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Sunday, the last full day of our vacation, an email with the subject line \u201cET Phone Home\u201d landed in my inbox. The cryptic message from my sister said, \u201cYou and Hiram need to call Allen (HE IS FINE), no need for angst.\u201d<\/p>\n

Immediately, I knew our son had one of two things to tell us. Either his beloved truck Rumblefish had died, or he and Abbey were engaged. I was pretty sure it was the second because he\u2019d told me he was saving for a ring. A few minutes later, he confirmed my hunch. He\u2019d surprised Abbey on Thursday evening with the question and the ring. She cried and said yes.<\/p>\n

Allen and Abbey took us to supper after our flight from Spokane to Minneapolis Monday.\u00a0 The wedding details haven\u2019t been fleshed out, but they\u2019re tossing about a tentative date of April 10, 2010. The word \u201chappy\u201d does not adequately describe either their delight with one another or the fun we had talking about wedding plans.<\/p>\n

Those of you who\u2019ve been following Allen\u2019s story know he was in a monastery for over five years, preparing to take final vows as a monk, and that he left at the end of last November to be treated for post-traumatic stress disorder. So you may be thinking, \u201cHmm, this seems like a pretty fast 180 degree turn.\u201d On the surface, that\u2019s exactly what it looks like. But if you look back six or seven years, to the days before Allen entered the monastery, you\u2019ll see Abbey in the picture. She and Allen first met after their junior year of high school, and they clicked immediately.<\/p>\n

But the full story is theirs to tell, not mine. I\u2019ll just say that for me it illustrates how God uses His mercy, grace, healing and restoration to meet the deepest needs of our hearts and set all things right. So welcome to the family, Abbey. You are a joy beyond anything we could have imagined or conceived.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
