We are now at the 30 day mark for the house that we have under contract. The builder said that if we get an offer on our house in Portland before May 13 they would be willing to extend the contract so we could close on the loans. But there is another house in the same neighborhood that has already been lived in so all the landscaping is done and the inside has been painted. At the time we were looking at houses this one was under contract, but apparently it fell through. So maybe God does have a better house waiting for us. We will see what happens in the next couple of weeks!
Other than worrying too much about the house and our finances, we have been having a great time developing relationships with people from our church over the last couple of weeks. We are really good friends with the youth pastor and his wife. It seems like we hang out at least 3 or 4 days a week. Lately we have been helping/hanging out with the youth group. There are only 12-15 kids each week, but they are a good group. It is a little different because the ages range from 7th-12th grade. It is hard to have discussions with that wide of an age range without talking over or under somebody's level. I am hoping to go with them to summer camp in July up in Wyoming with a couple of other churches. That should be fun.
We also just finished going through a book with the "newly" married group. For a church so small (about 100-120 people each Sunday), there is quite a few young marrieds (8 or 9 couples that consistently get together). We have a lot of fun getting together with them.
That is about all for now. Spring is trying to come (70s and sunny the last couple of days, but it is supposed to snow again tomorrow). We will try to get some more pictures of the area once all of the trees start to blossom.
