November Brings the Rain...

I love the rain...really, I do. I have loved the rain ever since I was a little kid. It just so happens that now I get to live in one of the greatest cities for rain. I enjoy waking up to the sound of rain; it is just refreshing. Some days it does make me want to stay in bed a little longer, but it is still a nice way to wake up. So, the rain has begun here in the Great Northwest. It has barely stopped raining over the last few days. At work, David and I really do like the rain...everyone thinks we are wierd. We don't care.

This past weekend, we had a scavenger hunt with our students. They had to travel around Tacoma & they ended up at a corn maze! I think they had a blast...even the group that got lost and was quite a ways behind the other groups. I love doing things like that. I love the planning of it all. I love the anticipation. I love meeting the friends that students bring. I love when you feel like there is even just one student you have moved into a deeper relationship with...like you have just clicked. It is such a process. I love our leaders too. They really do love the students & are giving a lot to invest in these students. Our student ministry is so young. I know we have to stick with it. Press On!

Anyway, things are staying quite busy. This is my last full week at work here at Ambrosia & then fit4kids officially kicks off. I am excited & yet a little nervous about this new step in our lives. Also, coaching is starting up. I will be the Varsity Assistant Coach for the Curtis High School Vikings in University Place. They have a great program. I will be able to gain experience at a high level. I am pretty excited about it. We have try-outs in two weeks.

Buck is staying busy with school, work, and Discovery. We are also having fun watching ALIAS, Season 4. It came out on DVD last week. We have kind of been pathetic...but, it's okay to be like that every once in awhile.
