We're Home!

Friends and Family!

We have made it back to the Pacific NorthWest and have begun to settle in quite nicely here in Vancouver. For an undetermined time, we will be staying with Kaylyn's parents. I (Brady) will continue to work for Swiftpage as a remote Sales Representative and Kaylyn will work for GAP Inc at the Old Navy location in the Vancouver Mall.

We are very happy to be home and to have friends and family much, much closer. God continues to guide us, as much as we fight against him, and continues to provide for us, as little as we thank him for it. He is a faithful god!

We are praying about joining close friends of mine (Brady) in Italy for a stint with Youth With a Mission next spring. Kaylyn would attend a DTS and I would work on staff at the YWAM Pescara base. This truly is an exciting time for us, as we lean on eachother, our friends and family and Jesus for guidance. Please join us in the journey by praying for us!

If you're in the Portland Metro area and would like to see us, please let us know! We'd love to visit with old Friends!

Happy Summer!

A Good Snow! ...Finally!


Hello All, From the Land of White (sometimes)!


Here we are, January 12th and all of our previous complaints of the lack of snow here in Denver are subsiding. Yes, be it three weeks late, the snow is here!
That's our car, the second one from the bottom, outside my (Brady's) window at work.
About 4 inches fell before we left for work, and at 10:30 there's another inch and a half, with snow still falling.
It amazes us, that a place like Denver, where you would think it snows often, has such terrible traffic problems when white stuff hits the ground. It's not like they're cancelling school or anything (points to the Northwest) but a normally 15 minute commute turning into 35-40? Come on now?
Anyhow, it's a beautiful day here in Denver! (Those of you who live in the Portland area or Spokane, sorry about the picture which probably conjures up nightmares of some sort!)

Happy (late) Holidays





Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  

Over the last three weeks as the Northwest was dumped on with the fluffy white stuff, we've "enjoyed" beautiful clear, sunny days with temperatures reaching the mid sixties.  A new phenomenon I'm labeling "Snow Envy" has certainly come into affect though.  Yes we've had a small bit of snow this year (maybe 6 inches total) but it seems quite ironic that the first year we are away from the Northwest for Christmas it DUMPS!

With the New Year come a few changes for us.  Kaylyn started school yesterday (The 5th) and I started working in the Sales Department at Swiftpage full time.  This comes with a new office, a raise and much more fulfilling and enjoyable work.  Swiftpage has been quite a blessing for us in this transition in our lives.  

Christmas was an interesting time as both of us deeply missed our families and friends.  We spent the day watching movies and cooking.  Overall it was a good day with a high of 55.  

New Years was quite less eventful.  Kaylyn was asleep by 10:30, I watched the ball drop and was asleep shortly after. 

We'd like to wish you all a very Happy New Year and send a congratulations out to Angela who just got engaged, as well as our good friends Eric and Charlotte Bohlmann who have just announced they are expecting!  We are happy for you guys!
