To be or not to be? That is the question…
Ok this is Josh, here is the reason I am not in Houston.
Hurricane Ike: Satallite
Partly because all lanes lead out of Houston at the moment but those are small details. Back to the big story . . . meet my friend Ike. :)
Hurricane Ike: Over Houston
He is big, large, hungry and wants to take a big bite out to the H town. I had great plans to be at the Houston Symphony tonight with Kristin listening to Dvorak’s New World Symphony, instead I will probably do something really boring around the house. I just talked with Kristin and the wind is picking up a little already, meanwhile Mr. Shaffer aka David is boarding the house up. :) With winds expected up to 74+ I really think that is a wise idea. :)

Ok, so as many of you have noticed . . . something is different, new, fresh. :) JoshWychopen.com no longer exists, it was replaced by a far more superior website called, JoshLovesKristin.com. :) What’s up with that, you might be wondering . . . well we are finally spreading the news. As of early May, Kristin Shaffer and I are now dating/courting! :) Whatever you want to call it; it’s the process that leads to marriage. ;) We are slightly excited and although we are not engaged, we cannot wait for the coming weeks and months to see what God will do. His hand of blessing has been with us throughout our friendship and we have been thrilled to watch it blossom into a deeper relationship. :)

During the coming weeks and months we will be adding information to the website, you will soon be able to read the story from start to finish of how we “met” and how this whole relationship has unfolded. :) God has given us some incredible ways to serve Him together and we are looking forward to seeing how He will guide us together into that life message.
