Missouri, Illinois

Labor Day weekend three of us made the trip down to Warrenton, Illinois to visit Daniel and see where he was attending school and to meet some of his friends! So worth the trip!
CMI headquarters - so excited for what God has in store for this guy!
 Me and my best friend! So thankful to be able to spend a bit of time with him - even if we didn't get too much one on one time - we were together!
 The zoo - watching the Puffins!

 Us - in a cave!?
 The Graham Cave a few miles from our hotel. Notice the one standing on top the cave! Was a lovely state park, but a very humid day!
The three that made the trip

It was a very short trip as we both had work/school to get to - but thankful for the opportunity to spend some time with Daniel as all summer we didn't get to see each other much. And thankful for the opportunity to get to know Shantel more and had some good chats with her and Faith!
We made it back in time for work!

I Am Your Shield

This is a song that has been a great encouragement to me and so I wanted to share it with all of you, hoping that it will minister to you and encourage you on... even during the dark times! May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places!  I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged  By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power   And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...

I will be Mrs. Tallman ...background story!

Our story began August 20th, 2017 when through a fluke we got paired up to work a 12 hour shift together. Benjamin proved to be an incredible listener and super easy to talk to. This one shift turned into many more as Ben went to the supervisor (unbeknownst to me) requesting the same schedule. These shifts proved to be a highlight in my week and I couldn't wait to get on the truck every other Sunday with Benjamin. I cannot tell you when we started dating, but our first time meeting up to study (outside of work) was October 12th after school in a Starbucks in Grimsby, ON. Benjamin was a once in a lifetime friend and I was growing to admire and respect the man I saw in him. Finally, our school semester was over and we were able to spend a bit more time together and getting to know each others families. He fit into my family so well from day one. My siblings adored him as he took time to listen to them and be interested in their lives! Christmas together was amazing...and then it was ...
