 We loved our trip to Hawaii (big island) this summer, even though Brad had a broken foot.  It was beautiful, clean, and safe. We bodysurfed, saw lava, dolphins, waterfalls, sunsets, and the boys snorkeled with Titus the Turtle

 We thank Christ for his greatest gift to us,
the gift of Forgiveness.
We desire that all our friends and family
grow closer to God in 2003.  

Love,
Bradley Dean, Christina Marie,
