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!
