The Arches




On our journey to Vancouver, we stopped at several places along the way. One of them was the infamous "Arches National Park" in Moab, Utah! There were so many beautiful arches that we didn't have time to visit all of them, however, the ones we did see we tried our best to capture on camera. Remarkable! This arch you see to your left was called the "Delicate Arch". Others had clever names such as "the 3 gossips" and "great wall of China". It's always a tricky ordeal to carry a tripod amidst hiking so that when you finally do find a sweet spot to capture yourselves AND the sight, you can. Jason & I absolutely recommend to make it out here and check it out, especially if you're driving through. It went from hot and dusty the day we arrived, to cold and sleeting by the time we started hiking inside the park. Never the less, it was a great day and a wonderful experience.

On a different note, it's a sunny, 65 degree weather day for us in Vancouver (oh yes, be jealous Texans). When it's nice, it's absolutely gorgeous. Totally makes putting up with those gloomy, rainy days well worth it. You definitely do NOT take the nice days here for granted. We have learned to be so thankful and feel so blessed when the sun shines down upon us. I find myself thanking Jesus over and over throughout the day for such fantastic sunshine! :) As far as job hunting goes, we're still on the prowl. Pray for us as we ask the Lord to lead us to positions He desires us to be in. We only want to bring glory to His Name in whatever we do. (Colossians 3:23-24) We love our landlords and could not have asked for more generous people to live under. They have offered everything from their car, garage, food to what ever we need. From what we have heard, this is not typical for landlords here. We are truly blessed! Tonight, we're using their grill to barbecue some chicken, excited about that!!!

We love & miss each and every one of you and ask for your continued prayers and support. Please keep us updated on all the happenings of your lives as well. Let us know how we can be praying for you specifically, we would love to do it!

To the moon & back,

S&J
