Here is a quick recap of what we have been up to...
1. Paul, Amy, Katie and Brian joined us for Christmas! It was so much fun to have everyone here under one roof! We had a great time sight seeing, cooking and EATING OUT! (I believe Derek and I have gained so much weight eating out here when visitors come!) We are now changing our habits and we are on a healthy eating kick- last night Chef Derek made a rice noodle and chicken recipe found on Weight Watchers online... it was so great! Saying goodbye is always hard to do and it was very hard to say goodbye to the Tronsgards. We had a fabulous time and it was so quite around here after they left :(
2. While the weather was awful back home over Christmas we had beautiful weather! It was fun to talk to my family over Christmas and to find out that they were snowed in and we hardly had jackets on! The weather has been so beautiful minus a couple rainy days! Sorry to everyone back home :( Just come visit!
3. We had a wonderful New Years with Clapp and Megan! Megan hosted us and we had such a great time! The city of Seattle puts on a fantastic fire works show... we were able to watch it on Television! I had to work New Years Day so it was an early night for us!
4. This past weekend Erica and Nick were out here visiting us! It was so fun to spend time with them and once again it was hard to say goodbye! We had planned to go skiing but the weather didn't cooperate so we spent the day sightseeing! I finally went up in the Space Needle and it was a blast! I got a little motion sick in the elevator but I made it through! I have the honor of being apart of their wedding in October and Derek is going to be officiating (Along with another Pastor from First Lutheran)! We are so excited for their wedding!
5. Derek an I are extremely excited about this weekend and our plans are still in the works but we are planning on going to Eugene to visit Grandma Dar, Stewart, Julie and Brody! I was able to get Saturday off so we are planning on a fun weekend in Oregon! I have to work Sunday but it will be fun to have a Saturday off! We are really looking forward to getting out of Lynnwood and exploring more of the pacific northwest!
6. Derek and I are great... we are having a blast out here but missing home all at the same time! I am coming home at the beginning of February! I can't wait to watch Maggie play ball! In April we are off to celebrate my parents 25th wedding anniversary in Vegas!
7. Derek has done a couple more sermons so feel free to check out his sermons...

Ok... I think that is it! I am starting to begin my teaching job search for the Mpls. area! I am really missing kids and I really hope I can find a teaching job!
Have a great week and miss you all!
