First Blog
I am posting a blog here that I originally posted on Myspace on August24, 2006. Needless to say, things have changed in my life since then, but I wanted to post this again here so that some could see a little of what happened in my life last year. I will be posting a new blog soon to get completely up to date on my life. Sounds exciting, yes?

We honeymooned for a week in the Smoky Mountain area (Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge). We got back from our honeymoon, loaded up a U-Haul on Monday, started driving Tuesday, and arrived at Las Vegas Friday night after long days of fearful, wind-blown, bumpy-road-constr
So now we are living in the desert (makes kayaking a little more difficult), staying with friends, looking for a house of our own (we’re almost settled on one), both working and attending Canyon Ridge Christian Church, enjoying no humidity, making new friends, trusting that God is going to use this time to grow us and teach us wonderfully new things.
