Braut Party

Braut Party

Can you guess who the beautiful, blushing, bride-to-be is in this picture?  If you’ll look carefully, Anni is wearing the blue sash in the middle.  In English the sash translates to, “Germany is searching for the super bride!”  It’s a take off a popular show over there called, “Germany is Searching for the Super Star”.  The sash was perfect for our “Hollywood” themed bridal shower that we (the Dubbe women) threw for our sis-to-be, Anni!  It was a perfect theme…

Summer Lovin’

Summer Lovin’

The longer I am married to this man of mine, the more I love him.  It’s hard to explain in words, but sometimes I love him so much that my stomach hurts.  I know Chuck is God’s and is only my temporary companion on this earth, but I am sure thankful the Lord has loaned him to me!  We had a lovely get-away to VA Beach at the beginning of the summer.  It was a special trip as we don’t…

My Love

My Love

Happy Two Year Anniversary to my Love!  How have two years really gone by?  I still find myself having nightmares that Chuck and I are not yet married, and in these nightmares, I long to be his wife.  When I wake up, it is an amazing relief to realize that I am TRULY married to the love of my life.  FOR REAL.  I love Charles Robert Dubbe so much.  Like crazy.  It’s incredible to be his wife.  When I walked…

Father

Father

Each year I am torn because Father’s Day always lands closely with our Anniversary.  We got married the day before Father’s Day the year of our wedding and it made our week even more special.  I can’t help but think of Father’s Day when I think of our wedding.  Tonight I will write TWO posts.  One for my Dad and one for my husband. There were times in my life when I had to wonder if my Dad would be…

Pray for this weekend.

We are getting ready to leave in a little bit.  This weekend, Chuck and I are going on a retreat with our Semp group.  This includes 15 teens and 4 of us leaders.  Pray that God does GREAT things this weekend, as I know He will! This retreat is designed to get us together as a true team, and to get to know each other a lot better.  There are three 8th graders coming on the trip that we really…

Big Trip!

Big Trip!

Well, I never thought I’d be going on another High School mission’s trip.  But here I am, working alongside Chuck with teens at our church, and of course that means summer trips!  Chuck and I are leading a group of 15 teenagers to attend a conference in Chicago, “Students Equipped to Minister to Peers- SEMP”.  SEMP will be held on the campus of Moody Bible Institute in downtown Chicago.  The teens will be trained in apologetics, and will be able…

You Be The Judge

You Be The Judge

The other day it was beautiful outside.  And by beautiful I mean it was a nice, HOT day in the 80’s.  Chuck and I had spent our week with a lot of different people, serving at different events, and were finally allotted an afternoon just for us.   Since I had never been, we headed over to Old Town Alexandria, the third oldest historic district in the nation.  A neighborhood once home to George Washington and Robert E. Lee!  I…

Hobby Lobby

Hobby Lobby

We have a hobby!  It all started back when I was living with Luke, Trisha, Chail, and Philly.  Back before the days of Rocky came along.  Back when Chuck and I were only good ‘ol boyfriend and girlfriend.  Actually, I believe we were engaged.  I’m getting off topic.  Thinking back on the days when we began is such a happy place.  But anyway.   When Chuck graduated from Grad school and received his Masters degree, his family threw a big…

Oh These Times Are Hard

Oh These Times Are Hard

(This post was originally posted on Wednesday 5/11, but got deleted some how.  Sad.  Thankfully a friend had saved it so now I am re-posting.  (Thanks Laura!!!)  I feel bad that previous comments got deleted.  So, here it is again.  I will post again soon, and hopefully won’t be such a downer.  😉 Anyone know that song? Whenever it comes on the radio, I just blast and sing. The lyrics go something like, “Oh these times are hard, they’re making…
