Curious how Nolan and I met and about Mennonite Education? In part 2 of our Oregon trip, I take you on a small tour of Nolan's home area and touch briefly on how we met, where Nolan proposed, and also show you the little school where I taught for two years!

@@theMennoniteMom none of us are deserving of a thing but damnation. Anything else, is God's grace and mercy. Confounds my brain, how He loves creation so much that He would not only make a way out of that fate, but volunteer to Be The Way! Confounded, yet grateful. Embrace the blessing. I'm sure it's mutual for Nolan as well.

Please don't keep your vlogs short!! 😊 Such a great time with you all l smiled so hard. This video was just full of love and it was heartwarming to see a Husband's love and concern for his Wife. I feel like we got to know you a little bit better Jeanine, it was so nice to see the school you taught in! I homeschool our youngest Son here in the U.K, won't bore you with the why's but l believe there's nothing that can replace that one on one time my Son can get at home. I love that your school was so small and that way kids can benefit from the extra time you can spend with them when they need it. I'm excited to see part three! I think You, Nolan and Xander have a wonderful life in your part of the World and that makes me happy! ♥😊

I was homeschooled too, originally because I had health issues as a small child, but my mum loved spending time with us kids, and I appreciate her doing so. (I did enjoy and thrive on group class settings as a high schooler more though.) I think it’s great you are so dedicated to your son’s education since not everyone can be or wants to. I also thought home schooling was rare in Europe, but maybe not in the UK? We know a German family here in the Midwest US who had to leave their country due to persecution of home schooling. Anyway, a lot of US states have pretty lax laws about it, which can be both good and bad. God bless you and your son!

I just loved the minutes you sat and had a heart to heart with us! My Husband and I have the same kind of marriage. This is such a wonderful platform for you to show and share what marriage is supposed to be. I truly believe this happens when we allow God to step in and guide us to our mate and not try to force a relationship that we think is right. My husband always jokes I have his missing rib LOL ( I know you get that joke even if some of your followers don't) When God is the foundation of your marriage and you follow his word and guidance on marriage this is what happens within your relationship. You become one and put each other first knowing your union is a blessed gift from God. Please keep sharing these kinds of "Marriage moments" because hopefully it will help others either in their current marriage or those still looking for a husband or (wife for the men watching) :)

LOL. But God had other plans. (: I'm so glad you have an incredible marriage! it truly is an oasis in a troubled world! God bless!

I believe they made cabinets . We are on the Idaho side now, I think heard your husband point out squaw butte. We are in Emmett now and see it every day when I go out my door.

What a lovely story..y'all were definitely made for each other. Nolan know just what you need without being asked he is right there for you. Looking forward to part 3...this has been fun getting to know a little more about you both and Zander's goat head experience hurt like the very devil because if I am not mistaken it is a thorn weed that lays sort of flat on the ground and you don't see it until you step on it. Bless his heart, I know that hurt. Have a Blessed day.

Yes, God has been so good in answering prayers. I still can't believe I'm married to him some days! Yes you are right! those nasty little boogers hurt so terribly bad! they also stick in shoes and go up through sandals. So glad we don't have them in the east!

Oh my.. I so understand your problem. I had that, but then had surgery. Thought I was in the clear, then IBS hit! So I get it. People who don't suffer with bladder and bowel problems have no idea how this can affect your life. Staying calm helps, along with learning what foods set you off. Will lift you up in prayer. God bless.

I too, moved from PA to ID to teach and met my husband, Garrett there. So crazy. I think we have a very similar story. Lol I actually taught your sis-in-law Harmony when she was in 2nd grade I think?

NJ Family I will update you! From what I have researched it is possible to get a transplant from someone you know. You could potentially get a transplant from Nolan. It sure does look like promising treatment, albeit shudder worthy. But hey, if it wasn’t from a stranger and it makes you healthy for the next 15 years? I’d do it. Many prayers for you, dear sister in the Lord
