New Mexico

I cannot even begin to express to you what a great time we had and how nice it was to be off, so perhaps the pics can do it SOME justice....

Vacation!!!!!!

We are leaving tomorrow night for a nice, long, and MUCH-NEEDED vacation to Chris' parents' house on a lake down in New Mexico. I am off of work (and paid) from this Thursday until next Thursday-woohoo! So you won't be "hearing" from us for a while because we will gladly be "away from it all."
Quick biz update, things are still rolling and seemingly progressing with this new venture and this new guy in Chris' life, Dave. So please just keep praying!
Will hopefully have some fun pics to post late next week or early the following week....
We love you all!!!!!

Last Night

So we don't know a WHOLE lot more about this new business venture, but Chris went with this guy named Dave last night to Boulder to shoot a musician, named Annie Brooks (from Durango) singing and talking about herself. Dave liked Chris' camera and his shooting style and has ALOT of ideas about many different things in the music industry and otherwise. Dave also has friends that have big bucks and are interested in backing him and some of his "ideas." I know that is kinda vague, but that is all I seemed to have gotten out of my husband, so far! :)
So, now, Chris is going to meet with some of those investors early next week, and we will just see where this goes (i.e. where the Lord wants to take it-or not).
Please just be praying for the relationships with these men and just for His perfect will to be done in His perfect timing. AND for us to have peace about His will AND timing! This could be alot of fun, alot of work, etc, but it is just very hard to tell right now. It could possibly be just in the nick of time, however, since Chris' unemployment runs out in AUGUST! yikes!
We love you all and are so thankful to have your support, concern, prayers and friendships. Thank you so much for letting us be completely real here!
In HIM...

Busy Busy

Sorry it has been a little while since my last post. Chris and I have been soooo busy with church stuff from small group to softball for both of us 2 nights a week. We LOVE being busy, and having this wonderful church body has been a HUGE answer to prayers. However, we feel like we have just been going, going, going! :)

So anyways, we are doing well. The business isn't doing much at the moment, BUT there is a HUGE meeting that Chris has with a guy tomorrow about doing videos for the music industry. That's all I will say until we know more after the meeting, but please be in prayer about this!

I will keep you posted and appreciate all your prayers and love and support!!!

I will leave you with a couple pictures of our brat dog, who we love so much and spoil rotten!!! :)

(this is her trying to make daddy feel like mommy's still in bed with him after i leave in the mornings...how cute and rotten is she????)

Pics from the Weekend

We took Chris' aunt's new boat out with some friends from church on Saturday afternoon to Carter Lake. We had 6 adults and 6 kids on the boat all at the same time. Sounds crazy, but it was alot of fun!

All of the kids, minus the 2 babies, got to drive the boat!




Our big kid-loving every minute of it!


The Weinlands

Anne and 2/3 of her clan!

Is it really already the end of May?

My goodness, it's hard to believe that June is right around the corner. I can't believe how fast this year has gone by already. This past weekend was a long one, and it was so nice to have that extra day off on Monday! We attempted to go out with Chris' fam on the boat, and we succeeded until we got chased off Horsetooth Lake by the rain around 1pm. But even though it was freezin for most of the morning, it was SO NICE to be back out on the water and on a boat for the first time so far this year! AND weather-permitting, we might be able to try again this coming weekend when it's supposed to be nicer!

Quick biz update before I follow up with pics...the wedding went very well on Saturday. The bride could not have been nicer or easier to work with, and Chris should be wrapping up the editing today and sending it out! Also, we now have 2 weddings booked for NEXT weekend, one on Sat and one on Sun! So, praise God for that! :) LOVE U ALL!!!!!

Jazzy's fave place, just like her mom and dad! :)

The clouds that rolled in....

What we resorted to since it never stopped raining after it started...

Celebrating Chris' Bday

We celebrated Chris' 31st bday last weekend with our Small Group at the local bowling alley. We had a blast, and though I couldn't surprise Chris with the "event," thanks to a friend from church who is an AMAZING cake decorator, I was able to at least surprise him with a Raiders cake. And as you can see, it turned out AWESOME, and Chris LOVED it!

Pics follow this, but I also wanted to give you a quick update on things to pray for...Chris has his very first wedding this weekend, and he should find out sometime this week if he got that Hotel A/V job or not. I will keep you posted.

As always, thanks so much for your love, support, and prayers! We love and appreciate you all so very, very much!

In Him <><
