We're moving!!!

I know, I know, we just moved six months ago but this time when we move we are going to stay awhile, I promise! Just this week we put money down on a new home in the Springwater development built by Centex off of 282nd and Chase. We are so excited to be buying a new home and feel very blessed to be able to do so. We are also excited about the neighborhood that it is in since we already know so many of the neighbors :) It will be a great home to raise our kids in and it is in an ideal location for schools, work, etc. We can't wait! The only stressful part, beside moving, is that we need to sell our house as quickly as possible so please, please, please be praying that everything would work out in God's timing and we would be able to make all deadlines! Below is a sketch of the new place, we will have you all over to see the inside as soon as we move in! (projected completion in March or April of 2009)

Bible Study Beach Trip 2008

A couple of weekends ago our small group went to Lincoln City for a long weekend. It was an amazing time of fellowship and fun. One of the days was sunny and georgeous outside, we all went to the beach in our summer attire and were actually comfortable, amazing for the Oregon Coast I know! We also took the kids to the Lincoln City Community Center to swim, went to the local imagination station, played at the beach and roasted marshmellows for smores. We had an amazing time and always enjoy this tradition (which was converted to the beach house instead of camping when all the kiddos came along). We look forward to the years ahead knowing that we will be friends with this group for a lifetime! Thanks everyone for an amazing time, we love you all!
