Journal entry by paula keels —
If you haven't already heard, Griffin is getting married! The "bubble boy" who can't step outside his house in Texas without getting sick has met someone, and we LOVE her. Lizzie and Griffin met online, fell in love and are super excited to start their lives together. They are also super aware of the challenges they face with Griffin's health. There is very little traditional about their courtship, which is fitting as there will probably be very little tradtitional about their lives. They face lots of challenges and hurdles most newly starting out couples don't face. They are equipped with a strong faith and trust in God, incredible emotional intelligence, the love and support of family and friends, and the wisdom of Griffin's medical team.
Their plan is to purchase a mold safe RV as soon as they can financially manage (there are two recommended brands but it will take a lot of research and some testing to find a safe one) and truck to pull it so they have the flexibility to try out different locations to see how Griffin does in them. Griffin's health is still a challenge but we are seeing slow improvements. It's imperative, however, that he get out of central Texas.
Griff has been able to work a small job but is searching for more reliable remote work. If you're a praying person, please ask God to provide what he needs job wise. If you know of anything, let us know!
You're invited to join us virtually for the wedding December 2 at 5 pm. It is a small, low budget home based wedding but it will be lovely and they will be celebrated! The zoom link will be posted on their website an hour prior to the ceremony.
Check out their website for a few cute pics and to read some of their story. As always, thank you for praying and caring for Griffin on this very hard, too long health journey. He is still in the thick of it but we're excited to share some good news!
