The filippino is here!
On Saturday at 1:30pm, my twin sister’s husband-to-be arrived in Indianapolis from the Philippines, with his fiancé visa in hand! Jessie and Aldean applied for a fiancé visa in January 2012 and God was faithful to them as He was faithful to Titus and I one year ago!
“Therefore I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to your name.”
(2 Samuel 22:50)
“Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.”
(1 Chronicles 16:9)
“He says, ‘I will declare your name to my brothers; in the presence of the congregation I will sing your praises.’”
(Hebrews 2:12)
Although I am disappointed that our small-but-growing family can no longer fit in one vehicle, I’m excited to see how Aldean changes the dynamics of our family. He’s already laughing at my jokes… laughing at least… so that’s good! And he seems to have picked up Nirtz pretty quickly, so that’s good! And he loves Jessie, so that’s great! (Although I still have to get used to my sister being in a relationship that isn’t long distance or seemingly imaginary.)
That moment when the guys met [again (Titus & Aldean actually met almost 3 years ago at a wedding in the Philippines!)] ... it was a good moment for me! I trust that they will become very good friends! Who else could have more in common but these two?? Not only are their wives twins, but this chapter of their lives are almost identical - leaving home [and everything!] for their brides and transitioning into a culture so foreign! I hope that they will be an ear and an encouragement for each other. Nonetheless, both incredible gifts to our family!
Tonight Aldean will meet Dad’s side of the family!

Tell them I reckon they should get a medal for bravery.
