Can I go swimming, Mommy?

A couple of weeks ago, Mary Beth and I went to a wedding that was held at the 'Club de Abogados' (the lawyers' social club) in Arequipa.  The wedding was outdoors, next to the swimming pool.  I love to swim, so I could relate to these kids that wanted to take off their hot, stuffy wedding clothes and go swimming!  The wedding was scheduled for noon and we arrived shortly before it started at 1 pm.  (We've learned after our combined 29 years in Peru!)  We stayed until about 7:00 observing things we liked and might want to include in our wedding.  Wedding?  Yes, if you hadn't heard, Mary Beth and I got engaged in April!  Sarah told me this morning that we announced our engagement on Faceboook but we hadn't mentioned that we are engaged on my blog, so I'm doing that right now!  The wedding will be at the SIM camp here in Peru on December 29th.  Pray for us as we make wedding plans and get the paperwork needed to get married in Peru!
