Rich, Heather and Alana’s Blog

I know, I know…a blog about Christmas is a bit late…but we got so busy before our trip to Florida we didn’t have a chance to post pictures from a Christmas party we went to with good friends and lots of fellowship! And I just have to brag on Rich for the beautiful photos he took!

Tim and Steph Blackiston’s Christmas party was wonderful because we got to see many people we know and love, but we also got to meet several new couples and make some new friends! We enjoyed great food, their gorgeous home, some great praise and worship, and sweet fellowship. Here are some shots of our time there:

Here is Steph, me, Kathy, and Ashley enjoying some girl time…

Our good friends Tim and Steph who are always eager to open their home to friends. They are so hospitable, wise, and hilarious, and are such great parents to their adorable kids, Reece and Evan (pictures of the kids to be posted very soon since Rich and I just got to babysit them)!!!

More girl time near Steph’s beautiful tree…

Me and my honey…

Ornament details (that Rich captured brilliantly):

Here we are with some old friends, Bernie and Ann Ritterbush. They are incredible people with influential ministries and hearts for God and Rich and I love and appreciate them dearly. Bernie leads the Men’s Fraternity here in the Southeast (called Men’s Ministry Network) and facilitates it’s implementation into churches all over the area. Who knows how many men have benefited from his efforts.

And here we are with some new friends that we met, the Bergtholds. Rich and I met and began talking to Scott about his incredible job and we just kept talking throughout the remainder of the party. Scott started a law firm to combat the porn industry (which Rich and I thought was absolutely fantastic), and had all kinds of unbelievable stories about progress that has been made in various cases and lawsuits around the country. With each and every question that we asked him, the conversation just kept getting more fascinating. His is the only law firm that is focused exclusively on this issue, and he has seriously made some people in the industry very mad! You can check out his website here. We so enjoyed meeting the Bergtholds and spending time with everyone! We are so blessed!
