Vacation in Estes Park

The family took a few days to vacation in Estes Park, CO. What a gorgeous area! We stayed in a cabin at the YMCA camp there from Monday to Thursday. There was plenty for the kids to do like swimming, crafts, mini-golf, horseback riding, hiking, biking, and tons of deer and elk to gaulk at. We took A LOT of pictures to feel free to check them out in the Photo Album.

Sara, Gavin, and Aubri got on a plane today to visit Minnesota one last time before we head to Flagstaff. Micah and I stayed here in the Springs to do some packing. I'm sure he'll do a great job unpacking anything I put in a box :) Sara and the kids will be gone for a week, then we'll have about a week to fill our ABF U-Pack trailer. Our stuff will be picked up on the 24th and will arrive in Flagstaff on the 1st of July. We'll have to take our time traveling to our new destination. It sounds like there are many scenic routes and stops we can make on the way. Maybe we'll make one of our last stops at the Grand Canyon... we'll see.

Aubri's 5th Birthday

Today was Aubri's 5th birthday. We had a hawaiian/aquatic/hula sort of theme per Aubri's request. Thankfully we had fitting weather for such a party. Sara made an awesome Barbie cake that everyone loved.
The kids did waterballon fights, hot-tubbing, trampoline, limbo, stick the shades on the flamingo (like Pin the Tail on the Donkey), ate food, and did more hot-tubbing. There are a few more pictures in the photo album.

I also put together a video for a song I wrote for Aubri a few years back:

Graduation

I officially graduated today from the New Life School of Worship. It has been an amazing year and has truly helped to equip me for the next phase our our life and future ministry. The ceremony was really powerful and was a great close to the school year. (There are some pics in the Photo Album link) I'm going to miss many of my new friends from the school, but I'm also excited to move on to Flagstaff.

We found a house that we'll rent in Flagstaff. Our move-in date is July 1st. We'll spend the next month packing, vacationing, and hopefully relaxing a little between destinations. We're getting more and more excited about where we're heading, and there have been many confirmations this past week that have given us confidence that we're heading in the right direction. We're amazed at what God continues to provide for us through all of these transitions. He is so faithful!
