Preparing For Minnesota

This Friday, December 18th (Sara's BD), we will begin our journey back to Minnesota to hang with friends and family for Christmas. We're doing our best to figure out how to keep the kids (and the parents) sane on the 20+ hour road trip each way. When we moved to Colorado we drove it in one shot, but we'll split each trip into two days this time around. We'll stay in Omaha, NE on the way there, and we'll make a couple stops on the way home: one in Sioux Falls, SD, and also in Kearney, NE. I'm not overly excited about the driving part, but will be nice to see eveyone once we get there.

School has been pretty laid back since Thanksgiving. It's been kind of a nice break. I'm incredibly thankful to find a little work through this season and some of which will continue into the New Year. I've been helping out the local FASTFRAME with some framing lately. It's been fun to get to know the owners a bit more and offer the assistance when I'm needed. I've also been leading people in worship on Sundays at a church called Summit Church in Castle Rock. They've offered me a weekly position there starting in January. This is a great opportunity for the time being, but it will most likely not be where I end up long term.

Hopefully we'll get to see most of you who read this blog over the next couple weeks. Here's a family pic that was taken on Thanksgiving morning. Have a Merry Christmas!
