Peace to all our family and friends.  This has been an eventful 2010 for all of us. Brent is in his last term of classes at Bethel Seminary and will graduate with a masters of divinity in June.  Kari is in her 12th year of teaching and is back with the kindergarten kids again, where there is never a dull moment.  The kids have had fabulous starts to their school years. Kristyn is in 5th grade with a very “cool” teacher and she plays piano, flute,  and dances and plays bball, Brady is enjoying 2nd grade and does Taekwondo and will start b-ball in January, and Emersyn is loving every minute of Kindergarten.  She also dances like big sis.  Last spring, we took the trip of a lifetime to Disney World.  We drove the 22 hours (stopping in Nashville) and loved every minute of it.  It was truly magical!  We did all the parks and will someday return. (Kari finally got to see Mickey!!)We were also able to stay with friends and go to the ocean for a day before heading back.  Ashley, Kari’s sister, got engaged to a wonderful man named Matt Sanders.  We are so excited for their upcoming nuptials this summer, and are thrilled that Brent will officiate their wedding.  We took an amazing family trip to Colorado this summer as well. We did lots of  and relaxing in the mountains.  After many months of praying and wondering what to do, we decided to move to a new home.  Needing more space, we listed and sold our old house in 16 days and moved into the new one within 1 month.  We moved over Thanksgiving and are so enjoying being in our warm and cozy place for Christmas. We also made it more exciting and got a new chocolate lab puppy, Evangeline Joy(Evie), so she could help liven up Bria.  The craziness continues... We hope you all have a wonderful and safe 2011. We have been truly blessed this year.
