What Happened to July?!?

Greetings All,
Wow what happened to the month of July? Here is a quick run down of our life. Janielle has been spending some time in Topeka with her family, I have been traveling quite a bit, and time seems to slip away fast! I attended the ELCA National Youth Gathering in San Antonio this month, and it was an incredible experience. We helped to facilitate the high ropes course at a gathering of 25,000 high school youth! It gives me great hope for our church to see that many young people commited to coming together for an event like this! David continues to grow and bless our lives. What did we ever do without him?! I am sure now that there is no greater joy in the world than being a father. Blessings to you all.
Peace,
Ben

He walks!

Hello again
Well on the fourth of July David took his first step and on the sixth he took 6-8 steps. Who knows what he'll do in a few more days. He is growing up fast and it's really hard to keep up with him I now know what our parents went through and to all of them from the both of us we are so so so so sorry. At the same time we love him more then anything in this world. Things are going well here in Nebraska Ben is working like crazy and David and I stay pretty busy by going to the park and other activities. I have ridden some of the horese out at camp and can not wait to ride again. I hope all of you are doing great and God Bless.

Happy 4th of July!

Hello All,
Well I know I haven't been the best as posting lately, but better late than never right?! Life here is going good but hectic. Summer camp is in full swing and we are running strong at NLOM. David and Dad took a trip yesterday to Schramm Park about 10 miles from our apartment in Ashland and we had a blast! Ducks, and swings were plentiful, and it was good to have some time with the little guy. The summer keeps kicking along, and before we know it fall will be upon us (thank God, bring on the cool weather and autumn leaves!). Take care and keep in touch.
Peace,
Ben

Home Sweet Nebraska

Dear Friends,
Well we have settled in and are now resident Nebraskans. Life here is hectic but really good. We live in a brand new apartment, and work is going great. David turns one on Saturday and we will celebrate in Lindsborg, followed by the Bennington Rodeo. All is well though here, and work at the camp is fantastic. I couldn't work with better folks. Take care and God Bless.
Peace,
The Fulton's

Our 11 Month Bundle of Joy

Hey Friends,
Well life is as hectic as usual here in Lindsborg. We are packing for the big move, and finishing up with classes. I have finals next week, Graduation on the 21st, and the big move on the 22nd. David is getting big and he continues to be a constant blessing. He is now waving, and giving BIG hugs! He loves life and everyone he meets. These are his one year old pictures. We are proud parents and are treasuring every moment we have with our little guy.
Peace and Blessing,
The Fultons

Graduation!

Howdy Gang,
Well we never thought it would happen but I am graduating from Bethany College! That's right May 21st at 3:00pm I will RUN across the stage and grab that piece of paper that has eluded me for the last 11 years! We will also be moving to Nebraska where I will be the Coordinator of Congregational Relations for Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries. Who'd of thought that I would ever be in Camping Ministry! This truly is my passion and we are excited for a new start in a wonderful environment. I have been interning at the same place for the last year, and the people I will be working with are the best in the world. They have taken me under their wings and taught me more than I ever would have thought possible. I will have to of course change the name of this blog since we will no longer be Lindsborgians, so I will have to come up with something new! I hope all is well with you all and I hope to hear from everyone soon. A prayer request, My Dad left on Monday and will be deploying with the United States Air Force to Iraq. He is serving his country and doing an incredible ministry to the troops over there. he truly exemplifies what it means to be a credit. Pray for peace, and all who strive for it.
Peace,
Ben

Bath Time

Hello All,
Things in Lindsborg are going pretty good these days. The Swedes are all coming out of their homes to rake leaves and do all the preparations for spring. David, Janielle, and I are all doing well, and preparing for not only spring, but a future outside of Lindsborg. So on top of the raking leaves, and dusting off the mower, we are also packing boxes and all that fun stuff! These pictures are of David taking a little soak the other night and we thought they were fun! The other two people there are Beka and Tyler some very good friends of ours (Beka is really David's girlfriend!). I hope all is well with everyone and remember to take a walk outside and feel that sunshine on your face, it always makes my day!
Peace,
Ben
