Weekend at Newport!

Well, as of Friday, Spring Semester at Western is over. Yeah! To celebrate, Brad and I took off to the coast for the weekend-compliments of Western Seminary and Shilo Inns and a complimentary two night stay we won in February. We had a great weekend together walking on the beach, checking out the Oregon Coast Aquarium, exploring a few lighthouses, and eating at a great local cafe-Cafe Stephanie. :) The weather was perfect, and so was the company. It was a much needed reprieve and time together after the pressures of finals at school.

And two have become one

Okay, we have already celebrated our 8 month anniversery, but we thought it was time that our blogs life matched our home life. We have decided to combine our two blogs into this one. We will keep my blog address, but now you will get posts from either of us!!!!

The big news other than this combining of our blogs is that I am almost done with my spring semester!!! After today, I have one more book and one more paper to write!!!!!! Oh, ya and did I mention that I am 32 years old now!

Easter

Well, Steph and I had a great weekend. We went up to a wedding in Mount Vernon on Saturday and got to connect with some friends. Then, we went to a baptism of one of Steph's friends. What a great way to spend easter and see the visual representation of Christ's death and resurrection that comes with seeing someone being immersed and raised up! What a great visual image to help us celebrate Easter! Steph and I also started up a new Easter tradition. I went to Costco last weekend and picked up a leg of lamb! Steph did a marvelous job of cooking it to perfection! We thought it was so fitting since Easter is all about the True Lamb of God sacrificing himself for you and me!

One other thing. I don't know how many of you have seen the article the God Debate that Newsweek. Check it out.

Other than that, please keep Steph and I in your prayers. This next couple weeks is very busy for me with homework, preaching, etc! Please pray too that YD Adventures Oregon can find summer staff!!!!!!
