Happy Spring!

Hello everyone! Long time no write! Life has been pretty busy in our neck of the woods! In addition to the the usual commitments toward work, school, and church, our calendars have also been filled with travel and celebrations galore!

As you will see from the pictures, we've very recently gone to a few joyous occasions including 2 weddings, and a baby shower. The first wedding was a couple of our good friends, Nathan and Meg, who we have met since we moved to Kentuckiana. The other was for my cousin, Adrian and his new bride, Priscilla. The baby shower was for my cousin, Pamela, and her precious new baby, Selah Rose! Other exciting parts of our trip to NM/CO included getting to see my sweet Grandma in Durango, Matt's grandfather in Farmington, going shopping with my glowing, beautiful, and pregnant sister, Jennifer, watching a Spring Program starring our talented niece, Avery, and last, but not least, visiting our church family at Sagebrush Community Church. Although our trip was quite a busy one, we had a great time and enjoyed having the opportunity to see everyone!

After getting back from NM, we basically hit the ground running. Matt has been working very hard to meet all of the deadlines in order to finish out this semester well! Thankfully, this week is Matt's last week of classes, followed by one week of finals, and then, ahhhhhhh, a little bit of a brain break. I have been working a lot at the hospital! We're both very exhausted, but know that there is some time for rest in the very near future! Can't wait!

One last thing...this last Saturday night, we said good-bye to some very good friends, John and Kelli and their kiddos, Kate and John David, who are moving to East Asia as missionaries. We met them at the church we are currently going to and have gotten to know them pretty well because they have been our small group leaders for the last year or so. We're really going to miss them, but are so excited to see what the Lord is going to do through them!

Gotta go for now. We've still got lots to catch up on. We hope this finds you happy and healthy! We love you all! Write us when you can!
