I'm getting ready to head out


Tomorrow, I fly to Seattle to do the last week of camps. On the following Saturday, I fly to LAX to pick up a van and drive it back to Colorado Springs. This camp should be a lot of fun. UW is working with 2 new churches and they seem excited to do the program. Unfortunately the numbers are quite small right now, so please pray with me as we seek to see the camps grow.

Here's a picture of Jen and I at Mount Rushmore. We traveled there over Memorial Day weekend with my mom and grandma. Well, have a great day!

She bought her dress!

Jen bought her dress this weekend and for some reason she won't let me look at it! I just don't get it! Does she not want to share it with me? I think that I should be able to place my opinion on the dress--but I guess not!! She is pretty happy to have that out of the way, which is good!

Tonight after work, we get to go pick up her ring! It is finally the correct size so she will be able to wear it! Then we will part ways and get lots of work done.

This weekend was fun--Dan and I went four-wheeling on Saturday. Pretty sure that I almost tipped my Jeep off the side of a hill, but thankfully I didn't. It only took Dan's Jeep, a hi-lift jack, tow rope, and two extra guys to straighten things out. Unfortunately, no pictures!! Well, have a great day!

Life changes so quickly. . . .

As you all know, well hopefully you all know: I am engaged! On Sunday, July 17th, I asked Jen David to marry me in the park at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs (go to for pictures of the actual event) and she said "YES!!!!" Okay, okay, she actually said "Oh my gosh!" followed by a yes! Yes, I managed to be three months earlier than she thought, which is always good! So, you might be wondering, when's the big date? Saturday, November 19th at Vista Grande Baptist Church in Colorado Springs! And to think just last year I was single, carefree, and enjoying every minute of it and now I am getting ready to enter the next part of my life with the woman that I love--pretty cool!!

This week has been great! On Monday we had to drop off her ring for resizing since I didn't know her ring size. It is a 3 1/4, so I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have guessed that at all!! We pick it up on Tuesday so she will finally be able to wear her ring. We're both excited about that!

This weekend we're hanging out with some friends and possibly going four-wheeling! Dan has a new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and he's dying for me to show him some new trails and put some scratches on it! Well, maybe scratches on my Jeep anyway! Also, Jen is going to look at wedding dresses this weekend. Do you think I can go with her? Yeah, right! Well, I'm off, have a great weekend!
