Colorado Sun...Warning
I spent a little too much time in the beautiful sunshine last weekend at the Colorado State Spring football game. I guess I just spent so much time in cloudy Portland that I forgot that a sunny day in April can still get ya. It looks a whole lot worse than it felt. But needless to say I will be digging out the sunscreen next time!

The latest news
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.

Nothin new!
Its Sunday morning and I am all ready for church. Skylar is playing a game on the play station and Hooch and Winston are still sleeping! I thought I would update the blog since we haven't for awhile now, but honestly there is nothing to update everyone on! We are still waiting for our house in Portland to sell, praying that the Lord will open some doors so that we can get a house here. The finances have been a real stresser so please pray for us in that area! I am starting to enjoy my job a little bit more, it just takes time I guess. Skylar is still working hard and sometimes some long days at the office.
I am coaching volleyball at a middle school here and our season is almost over, we have 2 more games then a tornament which should be fun. Skylar and I are also playing volleyball with our church married group. We haven't won a game yet but it is still fun to play! I was also talked into playing on a womens soccer team with one of Skylar's friends mom. She is the women I coach with. So today is my first game and I am so nervous because I have never played soccer before in my life:-) I was told that it is a lot of fun and not competetive at all, so that is a relief!
Well thats about all that is going on in our lives here in Colorado! For those who don't know yet I am coming to visit in May, the 7th-17th! I am super excited and can't wait to see everyone!
God Bless!
