Spring Break!

This past week was our Spring Break...a much needed one at that! It was slightly uneventful in the way of travels and adventures, but there was much for us to do around Boulder. We have started marriage counseling with the pastor who is going to be marrying us and it has been so great so far.  We are continuing to learn so much about each other and learning how to best communicate with each other. It's funny....we thought after 3.5 years we had it all down, but its been a challenge in a good way to learn that we still have things to learn about each other.  We have been so blessed in this relationship and just desire to honor not only each other, but God in all that we are doing. Our greatest desire to serve and honor Him in a way that is wholly pleasing to Him.  As we move forward into being husband and wife we truly desire to be the best stewards with this great privilege and gift of marriage.  

 This past week our friends Bryce and Kate were in town for the evening on Tuesday from WI, so Chris and Courtney, Wes and Marissa, Travis and Rachel, and Erik and I all gathered to spend some time together! Despite the down-pour of snow, we all managed to make it to the Rio for an always memorable time.  We decided after the Rio to head next door to the Walnut Brewery where 10 min. after sitting down the power went out.  Needless to say, that ended the night, but on a funny note!

Erik and I finally closed on our house on Friday afternoon. Buying a house has been one of the most challenging, yet incredibly exciting adventures we have had! I was sure there was going to be some hiccup, but just as soon as we were in the door and the papers were signed, we were back out with the keys in our hands, free to start this very brand new adventure of being homeowners together! We started construction on it today, scraping off wallpaper, putting in bucket lights, and scraping the popcorn ceiling.  It will be quite some work and time before everything is done, but we are looking forward to calling this place HOME!!!
