I am so happy to make the first pregnancy entry for this blog. My sister-in-law Amy is expecting! She and her husband Andrew have been married for a year this January and just found out a few weeks ago that a baby is on the way. We are so thrilled for them and cannot wait to meet baby Steinbach who will have such wonderful parents.
Amy and Andrew have had a charming love story. They dated since 8th grade and for many years maintained a long distance relationship when Andrew’s family moved to Knoxville, TN. When the Lanphier clan (myself included) went to Knoxville two summers ago, Andrew proposed to Amy and there was nothing more special than to witness their love for each other and the Lord. Andrew and Amy are truly amazing examples of loving Christ. What’s even more encouraging, is that because they are ridiculously talented, I will be able to ride on the coat tails of their coming fame for the rest of my anonymous life.
Their wedding was a whole other story. Both Amy and Andrew (shall we abbreviate AnA?) are THE BEST SINGERS EVER (to borrow from Paul’s favorite phrase). No, seriously, they have an amazing gift. They serenaded each other at their wedding ceremony and even sang a duet. Believe you me when I tell you there wasn’t a dry tear duct in the building.
What made their wedding even more emotional was that AnA moved to Tennesseee after the wedding. While we were so happy to see Amy happily married to Andrew, we have sorely missed a vital part of the family. We got to stop up in Tennessee this past June on the way to a family vacation. It was such a blast to spend the brief time together that we did.
So basically, we are so happy for AnA and Baby S and are FERVENTLY looking for a music pastor position for Andrew in the sprawling Omaha metropolis once he graduates next December… Just kidding AnA- no pressure. But seriously, if someone knows of anything speak with me privately….
