House For Sale

We finally have our house on the market in Roseville, MN. See this link:

Matthew and Anne's House

We are hoping for a quick sale, of course. Though it was hard, it was fun getting it ready for market. Any offers?

North by Northwest

We found out that we are going to the Pacific Northwest. That means Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon or Alaska! We're very excited to see what this new adventure brings. We are sad to be leaving family and friends. We feel very strongly about serving God where the church needs us. Apparently, it's out West. We find out on March 2 where we will be assigned more specifically within that region. I was excited when I saw Region 1 written on my letter inside my special envelope on Tuesday. It means going to live somewhere where neither of us have lived before. It means all kinds of new experiences. It means leaving the comfortable and familiar. It means truly following our calling. Thank You, God.

Mexico


Whale watching off the Pacific....and


Los Cabos...."the Capes"....on the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico. Anne and I were there for a week for a vacation recently. It was great! We did nothing upon nothing. We enjoyed the break as a pre-celebration of my finishing school and our five-year anniversary. The girls were fine without us but seemed glad to have us back. It was a much-needed break. It's back to reality now.

We are currently getting our house in Roseville ready to sell....we've been renting it out for the last couple of years and it needed some new paint, etc. We will be sad to see it go. We look forward to our next adventure, though, as we find out at the end of February what part of the U.S. we've been assigned to. Please keep us in your prayers. God Bless.
