We're In Denver!

We decided to come visit Sherry's sister and brother-in-law, Christina and Rusty, in Denver. We got here on Saturday and are staying until Thursday. In Gods wisdom, He knew that this was the perfect time for us to get away on a vacation.

Here in Denver its all about the snow right now. When we flew in there was snow all over the ground, but the roads were clear. By Sunday morning, snow covered everything. It snowed all day Sunday and into the night. We didnt let the snow stop us... We went to church on Sunday morning. It is a contemporary church full of young people, so we really enjoyed it. God definitely met with us, and I am becoming increasingly more aware of His providence in our lives. I wont get started preaching about all that God has been doing, that is for another time. So after lunch we hung out for a while and watched football - Bears and Colts in the Super Bowl - it should be a good one!

Then we decided to go sledding. We put on our layers of clothing and headed out to find a sled and a hill. Our first obstacle came when there were NO sleds! What the heck, if you are in Denver you should always have a supply of sleds at your store, but they were all sold out. We finally found a plastic storage tub that we thought would work. Next we went searching for a hill. We found a golf course with some hills. If you have ever tried to sled down hills where the snow is not packed down, using a plastic storage tub as the sled, it does not work! LOL We sure did have fun trying though. In the end, we threw some snowballs at each other and headed to Starbucks for some coffee. Sunday was also mine and Sherrys 1 year anniversary. We cant believe that a year has gone by already. It has been amazing! Life in the last year has been full of laughter, many changes, and even more blessings. I love this woman more than I have ever loved. She is full of love and compassion and I am blessed to have her in my life. The next year should bring even more laughter and more changes. As long as we are together, we can get through anything!

Fast tempo!

Well, during Thanksgiving we decided to put our house on the market and see what happened. We did for sale by owner to save on realtor expenses since we werent necessarily in a hurry to sell. It took all of about 4 weeks and right after Christmas we agreed on a contract to sell our house. Initially we found a great house in Spartanburg, but they need to sell quickly and the contract on our house does not close until April. We feel like we are doing the right thing by waiting and it gives us plenty of time to figure out whats next. So, we will be closing in April, hopefully moving into a new house in April, and having a baby in June! Then life gets really fun! See ya old house - Youve been good to us...

New Years News

We're Having A ... GIRL! that's right, soon I will have two women in my life and I cant wait! I already have the most amazing woman and hopefully our baby girl will be just like her. Its almost time for dresses and barbie dolls, but hopefully she will like football too!

Sherry heard that drinking coke before the ultrasound would ensure that our baby would be active enough to "show" us if it was a girl or boy - and man was she! If the ultrasound was any indication of her personality, we will do good to keep up. This little girl was moving the whole time. Even the nurse doing the ultrasound had a tough time keeping up with the baby. But in the end it was quite evident that we are having a girl. Everyone says I am going to spoil her... but I don't know what would give people that idea. :)
