hello? is this thing still on?

Wow, it's been a while since I've written anything, and SO much has happened in the last month. I'll be as brief as possible:

My wonderful parents came to visit...our first Montana visitors!

Two weeks later Jonathan and Jenni came!

The next weekend Nathan's mom visited!

All this time we were waiting to hear about a potential job offer in Pagosa Springs, CO. We finally heard on June 27th and we will be moving back to Colorado this next week! It's been quite a whirlwind and we don't anticipate things calming down for a while yet. We will both be working at Snow Wolf Lodge just south of Pagosa Springs. This property is owned by Summit Ministries. Nathan will be an assistant property manager and I will be doing administrative work/cleaning/cooking. The property was once a Young Life camp and can house around 200 people, so we'll definitely have our work cut out for us! We're very excited for this new adventure!

We finally got to go backpacking (we figured we couldn't move away from Montana without enjoying the outdoors!)

It was really fun and beautiful! We camped at two different lakes, fished, hiked, got eaten alive by mosquitos! It was great to be able to bring Saul with us, and he really enjoyed himself! Of course, our two-man tent which is perfect for the two of us became a little cramped when adding a 60 pound dog! We made it, though, and are now at home packing and enjoying our last days in Montana.
