Hey everyone! How's it goin'? Matt and I just got back from a short trip to Farmington to visit the family! We were glad to be able to get away for a couple days and get a family fix. Everyone seems to be doing well. Just plugging away! Our niece, Micaylah, just turned 8! We can't believe she's getting so big! She had a quite enjoyable gymnastics party! Mark celebrated a birthday as well. We got to see his hot rod in the making. It's come so far! Looking pretty fancy! Kate turns "Sweet 16" today. Wow, how time flies! Happy Birthday, guys!

This Friday, we will be closing on and moving into our home! We are so excited! So, this week, we will be packing up the little that we brought to the apartment in preparation! The rest of our stuff is in storage waiting to be moved! We're looking forward to being into our new home! I can't wait to have you all over!

Church life is still wonderfully crazy! God is doing so many amazing things through the church. It's so fun to watch Him work. We are so grateful to be a part of it. We're involved in some type of mission event 3 of the 4 weekends of each month, but seriously, it's a blast! There's nothing more gratifying than serving! You get such a high from it! If you all ever want to join in, let us know! We'd love to serve with you!

Matt started his semester of online classes a couple weeks ago. It seems to be going pretty well. He watches DVD's of the lectures and has his assigned reading to do. The hardest part for Matt is finding time to do it. But...he'll get 'er done!

Gotta go for now. Hope you all are happy and healthy. Call or write when you get a chance. Oh yeah...if you want our new contact information, e-mail us. We don't really want to put that info up on the blog. Some crazies might just do something with that info. Ya never know!

Love you guys,
Char

Enjoy the pics! (Some of the words got cut off! Sorry!)
