HI! WOW, how about that weather...it is beautiful!!!!!!!! Too bad I have to work on days like today...i wouldn't mind just working on rainy days and having every sunny day off...maybe I could be a rain collector! Anyways, hope you all are doing well! Friday night I went to a wedding shower for Erin...it was great! Saturday Dan & I went to the auction in the morning and didn't get too much. Dan worked before that and after that and i went to my mom's and did 10 loads of laundry :) I actually quite enjoy laundry now that i don't have the facilities in my trailer :S. Sunday Dan and I took the boat up to Cultus with some friends and cruised around. We stopped at a beach for a picnic & attempted wakeboarding...but it was VERY PAINFULLY cold. Then we ate asparagas & onions for dinner...we have great dinners in the trailer. Unfortunatly our fridge is the size of a cooler...so i can't keep too much food in there. I am definatly looking forward to moving into the house!!!! GTG! I'm meeting Cass & Ang for dinner at Milestones. Seeya!

Happy Easter! Hope you all had a great weekend with family & friends. Dan & I went up to his family's cabin for the long weekend...it was great! It snowed on Friday...but Sat & Sun was very nice! We went fishing & hiking & we slept & ate TONS of food. I don't think that there was 1 minute that i was actually hungry...we ate awesome food the whole weekend! So this week, i'm on a diet (and i'm typing this while eating a double chocolate pecan cookie...nice diet!). Thursday nite we had Easter dinner at my Falk Grandparents...it was great to see them. Since they retired, they have become world travellers, so we don't see them much. It's great for them tho, they really enjoy it! Dan went bow hunting for bears this weekend, he's crazy! But he had fun :) We came back Sunday night, unpacked and relaxed. Other than that...nothing new. We've just been working on our house like crazy! Hope you all are doing well! Seeya!

HI :) Hope you are all doing good! This has been a CRAZY week! Last week Dan & I worked almost every night on our house...at least it's kinda fun work...well actually the work isn't too fun, but the goal is like winning the lottery :) Thursday night Dan has Jr. High youth, so Thursdays i usually chill out with my bf Jacquie. Jaci's pretty cool :) Hahaha. So this week we went roller blading at Mill Lake...we went around once and then I quit because i almost bailed lots of time over the roots and on the bridge thing...a second lap just wasn't in the cards! We went for coffee and then picked up our friend jess and went for coffee again...good times! Dan & I worked Friday night, and Saturday from 8:30 - 7:00...but we got lots done! Dan wired the upstairs in our house and put in the doors. I cleaned up the whole place to get ready for our party on Sunday! Jaci came and helped me clean up and kept us entertained :) Jac & I also installed all the locks in our doors...i was pretty proud of us :) Dan never ceases to amaze me...he just knows how to do everything :) Sat night Dan & I just chilled and watched "Walk the Line"...it was an interesting movie. It is frusterating tho how the portray life & morals. The movie made the viewer want Jonny Cash to get divored and get together with June Carter...it is SO WRONG and it sucks how when it does happen it makes you happy. Crazy manipulative hollywood! Sorry if i ruined the ending for those of you who haven't seen it...anyways...i would give the movie a 4 out of 5. Not because it had great morals and values...but because i was entertained the whole way thru and never fell asleep even tho i was super tierd. Also probably because the music world intrigues me. SUNDAY - was our house blessing...it was amazing! We want to thank each and every of the 50 people that came out to spend this time with us...it meant so much to us. We feel so blessed to be able to have this house, and it meant so much to us to have the people that love us come together with us to claim the verses written on the walls for our home and for our lives. It was super emotional and blessed us beyond our imagination. We are so excited for the dreams and visions that God has instilled in our hearts...it just makes me smile :) No worries for you people that couldn't make it...we totally understand that life is very busy...thank-you for your thots and prayers. After everyone left Dan & I went through the house with our work lights and read each verse and prayed over each room and cried in most of them :) We give God every bit of the Glory!!!
Well, GTG, have an awesome week...i'll post some pic's of last night soon. Love ya!

HI! This pic is Dan & I last summer at "Crater Lake"...it's an amazing lake about an hour ATV ride from our cabin! It has 200 ft cliffs right down to the lake all around. We hiked down the water fall and almost DIED, but didn't...and we can't wait to do it again!

Just wanted to post a note and invite our friends & family to a party at our house on Sunday April 9th (this Sunday) @ 4:00. We are putting up the spiritual walls of our house...so we are asking you all to bring a verse to write on the walls of our house before they get insulated and dry walled. We are going to have a weiner roast if it is good weather...and if it isn't we will have a BBQ inside our house or something :) Please let me know if you're going to come so I can get lots of food! Hope to see you all there!

Today is a very exciting day for Dan & I!!! We officially confirmed our trip to Thailand!!! Dan's boss gave him a leave, and I gave my work 10 months notice (do you think that's enough???) :) We are going to start planning our trip now and planning the missions trip. We would love it if we could get a large group together to go...so pray about it and think about it and let us know if you want to join us! We will be meeting up with Team 2000 and probably working in their orphanage and maybe doing some building & sports camps. After that we are going to travel the beaches and get a serious tan! We are going to eat amazing meals for $.50 each and drink fruit shakes all day long. We're going to wake up in our A/C bungalow and step out our door right onto the beach. We're going to watch movies on the beach in the evenings while eating Cornetto's and drinking coke from a glass bottle. We're going to meet people from all over the world and build lots of lasting friendships along the way. We're never going to want to leave...except 3 months later we will and we'll be glad we are because we will miss everyone back at home. *Sigh*...now I am even more excited!!!

Other than that...what else is new...not too much! Hope you all are doing well and hopefully we'll see you on Sunday!

I don't have any new pic's of our life...so here's a picture of some of our ducklings that i took last week :)

HI! Hope you all are doing well :) Guess what we did this weekend......WORKED!!!! I don't think it will ever end! But at least it's fun and I'm learning tons! Friday night Dan & I went on a date to Tony Romas...it was wonderful! They have the best food! I had ribs & steak & prawns, it was too good :) Saturday we worked alllll day until 6:00 and then went to see Ice Age 2. I would give that movie 3.5 out of 5 stars. My parents came out and helped us with back framing, painting and some clean-up...it was fun! Our parents are SO wonderful and have helped us sooo much! Dan started the electrical and I helped him put up the yellow boxes for the switches and stuff. Feel free to come out if you want...you too and learn pretty much all the trades at our house (except roofing, insulating drywall)...plus i'll make you good food :) What else is new in our lives...we cut Buddy's hair. It was too long and getting matted...but now it looks funny cause we cut it a little too short...oh well, it will grow back :)

A little look into the future...Dan & I are going to Thailand next February - May. We are planning on doing a missions trip at the begining and then just travelling and chillin out. Everyone is welcome to come, just let us know so we can plan stuff :)

Have a fun week!
