Campfires!


I love my wife! One of our favorite things to do sit around a warm campfire, roast some marshmallows, and talk about anything in the world. Campfires have definitely played a huge role in our relationship and that is why we love them so much! The only thing better than the campfire is the knowledge that we have the rest of our lives to share countless future campfires!

What have we been up to?

Wow. I can't believe we have already been married for six months! We have seen a lot of life in what seems like a few short months. First of all, Marriage is absolutely amazing. We have learned to live, laugh, cry, and try new things through each other.

Em has been enjoying her third year teaching at West Creek Elementary School. This year she took on the challenge of teaching forth grade. So far she has been very blessed to be with those students. She loves teaching and I love supporting her in that.

I was hired as the Student Ministries Pastor at First Baptist Church in Barstow, CA. I love working at the church. God has blessed us with an amazing group of students. Besides working at the church, I have been subbing in Barstow and going to school in Victorville. Life has been very busy, but God has blessed me with a wife who is more than willing to go above and beyond her busy schedule to help me with mine.

Besides our busy career life, we do manage to have fun too. We have been all over the state and even to Vegas on various short trips. We love Disneyland, and it is even better after you are married! We have gone camping in the world's smallest tent... and loved it!

We have even added a new member to our little family. His name is max and he is one of the sweetest dog's in the world. He is definitely a puppy and all boy! He digs in the yard, jumps up on us (getting mud everywhere), and wrestles with me, but we can't help but love him!

We definitely have struggled with living so far away our friends. We definitely have enjoyed the times we have been able to see our friends and we love making new friends in Barstow. God continues to bless us with very special people to encourage us along our journey called marriage.
