The sign of winter's offical arrival!

Last winter Chad and I were disappointed by the contrast of the prior winter we had spent in Spokane.  We had a record snow fall that year and it was over two feet.  Last year here in Everett NO snow at all!  Well, today God decided to bless us with some snow. I love snow in that it is beautiful to look at, the trees all white coated, but I do not like to drive in it.  I've gotten used to it of course, but western Washington is not all that great at maintaining snowy roads. 

Anyways I'm excited to look out and see the beautiful snow.  It is perfect for staying home and getting my cleaning and homework done :-) 

Lincoln still loves the snow just as much as he did as a lil pup in Spokane. I tried to take a video of him dashing through it, digging his face in, sneezing and going back for some more...but I was too slow.  So a couple of pictures will have to do.

BUSY!!

I cannot believe how much I have slacked at posting, even taking pictures.  I don't remember the last time I used our camera.  Oh well!  When we have a moment maybe I can convince Chad to do a posting of his Arizona trip.  It was quite the trip for him; flight over the Grand Canyon, camping in Sedona, and such.  His pictures are great!

Well Chad and I are both pretty busy these days.  I am back in school as well.  I am going to Northwest University in Kirkland to get my bible class requirements for MAF.  I will be going every Thursday night for 4 hrs.  The homework and reading is pretty intense but I think I will learn a lot.  On top of that I am continuing with BSF, hopefully it won't become too much.  Chad is trying to finish up his CFI which is quite the task with work and all.  He got an offer to interview for a management position with the 777, he turned it down though so that he can focus on finishing CFI and we can get to the mission field. I have to say I am so proud of him for turning down such a nice offer.  Yes the money would be nice, but we know the Lord has a great plan for us and we do not want to get side tracked by things of this world (which is not always easy).

We have a new offer on the house that has been at the bank for a while now.  We haven't heard anything, but are praying for grace from the bank this time around.  Please pray with us that we can be freed from this financial burden. 

Well when I have more fun things to post I will.  A new update letter is about to go out :-)
