Back to the Ozarks

September 3, 2013

I can’t say that I like traveling the 12 hours back to Missouri. It’s always hard to leave Colorado behind, but this time, I was feeling that itch to return to my own bed–well, and to finish school for that matter. (We’re only one semester away!)The drive wasn’t really that bad. We enjoyed listening to […]

MTC – Our First Few Days

August 21, 2012

All of our earthly possessions arrived Thursday night via our friends the Millers and Cizdziels, for which we were utterly thankful! We were excited to know that our use of camping sporks was almost over. It was great to see familiar faces again and enjoy catching up. We explored the campus and met new people. They […]

Roach, Missouri

Catch Up: Moms, Tea, and Finishing up

May 28, 2012

For the first time at WCC, the men hosted the monthly potluck in honor of the mothers. They did all of the cooking, set up, serving, and clean up! They did a great job. And they also got a sweet goodbye cake for Payton and I! And then there was the beautiful Ladies Tea hosted […]

Blood, Oil, and Teeth

January 30, 2012

What a month! We transitioned back into school mode from a month of family, festivities, laid-back mornings, and too many snacks. We had Student Training Program the 3 days before the start of the semester and then right into 2 hours of Philippians, and Payton had Oral Communications. Both he and I have already taken […]

September’s Settling

September 8, 2011

Finally, I feel like we’ve transitioned from the chaos that was August and into the mildness of September. The weather just began its descent into fall and I’m enjoying the rains, the savor of soups, and the anticipation of fresh cider. We have just begun to get into the meatiness of Romans, formed a better grip […]

Hindsight

June 22, 2011

So what did we learn in the past 9 months? I’ve tried to keep you up on the week to week happenings, but a true summary of what we learned had to wait until hindsight was on our side. Now, I could tell you all of the nitty gritty things that I leaned like cutting […]

Back in Colorado

May 26, 2011

We said our goodbyes to friends and family in Michigan on Friday of last week and have already been in the lovely state of Colorado for three and a half days. Our trip went well…for the most part anyway! We had a good drive to Missouri and spent the evening at NTM’s Missions Training Center […]

Arrival

August 15, 2010

We did, in fact, arrive at New Tribes Bible Institute in Jackson, Michigan, but only after driving straight through from Colorado Springs. I swore I wouldn’t, because I hate driving long hours, but apparently God had other plans. We ended up having to continue our drive because of huge storms in Iowa that would have […]

Let the Journey Begin!

August 10, 2010

We leave the lovely state of Colorado tomorrow morning at 7am with our friend, Garran. I think I might just cry as the mountains fall out of view. I will miss the fresh mountain air and being able to drive an hour and escape into the woods. Today was filled with packing. We’re exhausted to […]
