Time flies...

I can’t believe we’ve completed our 5th week in Lake City!!! The weeks go by so quickly. The thought of going home is beginning to feel bittersweet… we’re ready to settle back into our house, reconnect with old friends, and get back in the swing of things, but at the same time we don’t want to leave this beautiful place and our friends here. We’re trying to savor every moment.

This past week was eventful to say the least… Royce and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary on Monday! We are so thankful for a great first year of marriage and looking forward to many more!! We had a hard time deciding what we wanted to do to celebrate. There aren’t a whole lot of options in this area so Seth and Crystal suggested going to Crested Butte to eat and see a movie. We hadn’t been there before but everyone had told us it was a cute little town so we decided to venture that way. It’s about an hour and a half away from Lake City. It was a pretty simple evening but we had a great time!

The other exciting part of our week was Tuesday when we found out we are going to be an Aunt and Uncle!!! We are sooooo excited for Seth and Crystal! Please join us in praying for a healthy pregnancy.

As far as our time at the Inn this week, we stayed very busy! We had a great time hanging out with the guests. Rosie’s brother and sister in law were here, as well as her nephew and his two girls. Her nephew brought 3 ATVs with him so he invited us to go riding with him one afternoon. It was a blast! We went up a trail called Carson. It was similar to the Alpine Loop but less bumpy and a lot shorter!! It was perfect for 4wheelers. Rosie’s brother and sister in law were here a total of 2 week and left this morning… we were sad to see them leave, we really enjoyed getting to know them.

Next week is VBS at the Presbyterian Church in town. Crystal is the director so she asked Royce and me to be group leaders! Rosie always encourages the Inn staff to participate in VBS so she was thrilled that we helping.
Please pray for us during these last three weeks! We are starting to feel a little drained. Some days are still pretty easy but there were a few days this week that were somewhat frustrating for us. Pray also for David and Rosie… they have so much on their plate so pray that they get the encouragement they need to be effective in their ministry.

We love you all and are so grateful for your support!
