Wonderful News!

Last week while we were at the beach the Merkel family received two bits of great news!

1. Mom and Dad sold their house in PA and will be back in Atlanta in 6 weeks!

Please pray that the inspections and sale go through as planned so that this happens!

2. My brother Brad got ENGAGED to Anne!!

I'm sure that when I get a picture of the two of them I will be posting it, but, in the meantime, here is a picture of the location where he popped the questions, Mt. Soledad in San Diego. We couldn't be happier that Anne is going to be a part of our family and Brad's wife.
