Our house is a very, very, very fine house.....

Well, I have to say that I created this blog about two months ago, in hopes of providing more updates for those of you who would like one. But as you can see, there hasn't been much updating so far! Sorry about that.

It's been a year and a half since we moved to Cheyenne and it is truly growing on us. I have to admit that it was very hard when we first moved, even though we are only 45 minutes away from our friends and family in Colorado. But one of the most prominent things to happen shortly after moving here was meeting Jeff and Sabrina Maness, new pastors that had just moved here to start a church plant. We quickly became involved in that, and now could not ask for better friends or pastors. You can follow up on the church plant through the link to the left of the page. It's been ABSOLUTELY amazing what God is doing with this church plant in the small town of Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Jeremy is still working for Sam's Club up here. When we transferred up here, he transferred in as the Marketing Manager. He has since moved over to the Fresh department, which he finds a little more challenging, but things are slowly starting to come together for him over there. We don't anticipate another move for at least another year, if not longer. I keep myself busy taking care of the kids and the house for the most part. I have volunteered on our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) steering team this year as the Publicity Coordinator, and enjoyed it, though I will be stepping down from that position for the next year. I also volunteer as one of the e:kidz directors at Element Church. Let me tell you...that is an interesting place to be when you grown from 20 to 30 preschoolers in just one week! I've also had an amazing opportunity to serve on our worship team under the leadership of Adam Cruz. He has such a huge passion for worship ministry, as well as for youth, and I am so thankful that he and the rest of the team are willing to challenge me and push me further in my musical abilities. Jordan is just finishing up 6th grade this year and Hannah, kindergarten. They are both ready for summer break, but also excited to be in the next grade up the following year. Micayla just finished her kindergarten screening, and was so excited to hear that she's ready to start school next year. She was so proud of herself. Sam and Nathan will still be at home with me next year, which I've very much looking forward to. I'm definately not ready for an empty house anytime soon.

Our latest exciting news is that we will be moving across town in June into a 5 bedroom house! We've been in a 3 bedroom since moving here last November. Another perk to that is that the new house is just a street over from Jeff and Sabrina! The kids are all so excited.

I hope to do better at posting updates and pictures as they come. Feel free to stop by anytime!
