Snow day!

Yes, it is snowing here again. Wow! It is still so amazing to see it no matter how many times it snows. After living in TX our whole lives the snow still amazes us. School is closed today as it has been snowing all day and the high temperature is 18degrees. We went out in it just a few mintues ago to dust off the car and sidewalk. The snow is like powder. It is wild. We are thinking of going to rent a movie and drive in a little bit. Hope all of you are doing well. We here the same cold snap is headed to Dallas. Enjoy!

Please continue to pray for Brian's mom. It is looking like she will start radiation therapy on Wednesday, Dec. 6th. She will have radiation therapy for 6-7 weeks with chemo therapy one day a week. Thank you for your prayers. We love you, Mom!

Cold in CO,

New blog features

Greetings friends,
We had a great time off from work. This week we went geocaching, shopping, to a movie and hung out with friends. We learned a new game called "Pit". It is a very fun game! I added a few new things to the blog with the help of my friend Heather. It was great to visit with her on the phone and learn a few new things about blogs. Thanks Heather!!! See if you can find the new things. Unfortuately we must return to work tomorrow. I am sad to say we have the "Sunday Night Blues". We don't want to go back to work tomorrow. Oh well, we will survive. We hope you all have a blessed week!
Later Taters,

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hi everyone! We are so very grateful for so very much! It is such an honor to see God work in our lives and the lives of those we love! We hope you all had an amazing, great turkey day! We spent the day with the Dunn family-eating, laughing, playing games, and watching football. Here are a few pics from the day! The potatoes turned out great! Thanks for all the tips! Love to all!

God story!

Hi friends and family!!! Happy Thanksgiving! Not too much is happening here! I am blogging so my friend Heather does not kick me out of the blogger world. :) We are glad to have a few days off from work to rest and play. We went geocaching again today. Found one and didn't find the other. Oh well. I did remember this neat story as I read our church's weekly update email today and thought I would share.

Here’s a cool God story… On Saturday, November 11th, we had our second episode of the Amazing Race Geocaching (a spin off we have done from the show Amazing Race and the hobby of Geocaching… basically racing to find all the “treasures” first). One of the things that we had to do in order to finish the race was help people at one of the local grocery stores load their groceries into their cars and then give them a box of Revelation mints or an invitation to the church. I thought this would be hard, but I really enjoyed it. Well, this past weekend one of the ladies that my team helped actually came to church!! She sounds interested in the church and said that once they get settled in (which may not be until early January) they would like to start attending regularly. So we’ll see how that goes… her husband is a chaplain for the army and will be stationed at Fort Carson.

We will be spending tomorrow with the Dunn family and I am taking mashed potatoes. I have never made mashed potatoes from scratch so hopefully they will turn out ok! Wish me luck! I will post pictures soon. To our precious family: We miss and love you tons!

Thank you for your prayers and update!!!

Hello family and friends,
Thank you for your prayers for our sweet family! Brian had a great trip to TX last weekend and made it home safely to me on Sunday. I didn't realize how much I would miss him, but I am sooooooooo grateful he was able to be with his mom and sweet family for awhile.

Thank you for your prayers for Carol Ann, Brian's mom. She had a lung function test and PET scan this week. She also saw an oncologist this week. It was determined that surgery is not a good option due to other respiratory problems. She will begin radiation therapy for 5 days a week for 6 – 7 weeks soon. Please continue to pray for her.

All is well here. We are resting on this beautiful Saturday. We are looking foward to a two day work week and time to rest on this Thanksgiving Holiday.

As we reflect upon all that we are thankful for, we are very grateful for all of our friends and family who have loved and supported us in a new journey! We love you all!
Have a great weekend. I will try to blog more often.

Prayers answered and more prayer requests

Dear Family and Friends,
Thank you for your prayers for Brian's mom, Carol Ann. As many of you know the drs. found a mass on her lung and they did a biopsy this past Friday. Over the weekend her lung collapsed and she was omitted into the hospital. She is now doing a little bit better as she went home today. The results from the biopsy showed a slow growing cancer. The drs. will complete a cat scan next week to determine more about the mass. Right now her drs. are more concerned with her lung capacity.

Brian went to TX this week on a free ticket from a friend of CarolAnn's! Praise God! God works in amazing ways! He never ceases to amaze me! I specifically prayed last Wed. that if God wanted him there with his family that he would pave the way and within 24hrs. this friend called! Wow!! I pray his time will be sweet with his precious mom and family!

Thank you for your continued prayers for Carol Ann and her health. We love you all!
