Stave Family Highlights of 2005

Here are our Top 10 highlights from 2005:

10. Our (very) recent discovery of the WB sitcom 'Gilmore Girls' via a colleagues DVD set of the first two seasons (we don't know what has happened since season two, so if you know, don't tell us!! We're holding out hope to somehow get caught up)!
9. The start of our 4th year of work & ministry at Lithuania Christian College with Andrew's best yet First Year Student Orientation program.
8. Our relationships with students at LCC have deepened more than ever during this past year.
7. Having the opportunity to reconnect with dear friends & colleagues at George Fox University this past summer through working with them as they hosted the annual ACSD conference.
6. The incredibly cheap package deal we took to Hurghada, Egypt during our spring break vacation to relax from a very busy spring semester.
5. Our entire trip to the States this summer & all the connections we made with family & friends. All the love & support we were shown through countless baby showers and work opportunities were a tremendous blessing!!
4. Kim's mom & aunt's trip here to Klaipeda to be with us after Ieva's birth.
3. The day we discovered we were pregnant on January 16th.
2. Ieva's birth on September 25th.
1. Marvelling at the many ways our amazing daughter has changed and grown since her birth during the past 3 months!

We are so thankful for all that God has blessed us with during 2005 & wait with eager anticipation to see what He will do in our lives in 2006!
