A little over a month to go update...

It's official... Derek and I are AWFUL at blogging! We apologize.

So here are some highlights of what has been going on in our world!

1. We have had once again, a lot of fabulous company! Krista Costin was out here for the Seattle Marathon, Anne, Mike, Josh, Jess, Julie, Stewart, Brody & Freya were here a couple weeks ago and we had a blast touring Seattle and learning what it is like to have kids around! (It was such a blast and Derek even changed & fed Freya!)

2. Derek and I are honored to be Freya's Godparents. We are looking forward to her baptism back in Minnesota in August!

3. Derek is busy preaching and learning all about what it is like to be Pastor! (He is loving it!) Check out his Sermon's here... http://www.trinitylutheranchurch.com/nurture/sermons/

4. The SUN IS OUT! It has been so cloudy and rainy here... it hasn't really felt like summer- until this week!! The sun is out and I am happy! I have really enjoyed our time here but let me tell you... I have missed the Minnesota summer! Derek and I look forward to spending some time on Little Sand when we come home :)

5. I have sent in over 40 applications and I am still waiting to hear on a few of them! I am really hoping something comes up! I will keep you posted if there is any good news!

6. Derek and I will be living on campus next year... financially it is the right decision for us! It will be a cozy one bedroom apartment... all are welcome to visit, just bring sleeping bags!

7. We are looking forward to having my cousins Jennifer and Craig out here in a couple weeks! Their kids Katelynn and Austin will be with us too and we can't wait! We love having kids and company around... it brings home out to us!

Finally, I will be coming home early, I will be home July 28th-August 11th. I am hoping to find a job while I am home as well as say hello to everyone. (A big thanks to my parents for the plane ticket!) I will then travel back to Seattle to pack up our home in Lynnwood and drive back with Derek. Derek's last Sunday here is August 15th. After worship we plan to head home... (don't worry we will first get a good tune-up on the car to make sure we will make it home!) Our goal is to make it home by Monday night... we will see how that goes!!!

So, hopefully this answers some questions! We are SO EXCITED to be back home but we are sad to say goodbye here! We will keep you posted on what's to come!

Love,
BJo
