Pictures of our house.....

WE GOT A HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!

The Lord is so good! We made another offer yesterday and the seller of the house accepted it right then. Now we just have to go through some more steps before moving in. We are so thankful and excited about this new phase in our lives: buying your first home together. It has been a wild ride emotionally but we knew the Lord would provide. We give Him all the glory.

Now we ask that you please begin praying that everything else works out smoothly up until we close on it. There has to be an inspection, etc.... Thanks for all the prayers from anyone that has been praying for us. :)

Made an offer....

Saturday we went to our realitors (realators?) house and made up a contract that made an offer on the house we want to try to get. Please be in prayer for us and the seller that the Lord's will will be done through all of the bargaining. We hope he accepts the first offer or offers us not much higher.
We are really excited about it and if all things work out, we hope to be moving in late Feb. Thanks for all your prayers!

Tyler loves to write sermons...

Tyler has been preaching at the Christian school every Tuesday morning at their chapel. Which means he is preaching two times a week, which means he has to write two sermons a week. This will only be in January. He preaches every other month at the Christian school. So this month has been full of sermon preparation. He spends alot of his time in his office here at home hovering over commentaries, his bible, and his mac. He loves it though. He is the best preacher in the whole world! Well, I think so at least. I know he is at least one of the best.

Here he is in his office preparing a sermon and I go in a pester him sometimes.

Back to jobs, Back to routine....

We have been back in our normal ( I would almost dare to say work-acholic) routines for about 2 weeks now. Life is good, jobs are good, church is good, New Mexico is good, married life is good, the LORD IS GOOD.

Goods friends in East Texas

While we were in Elysian Fields over Christmas Tyler and I got to spend a night hanging out and catching up with some of my greatest friends: Melissa, Emily, and Brittany. It was so refreshing to see them face to face and visit. I miss them so much!

Then Christmas in Synder

After visiting Haley's family in Elysian Fields, we traveled back west and stopped in Synder on the way home to have Christmas with the Hicks. The boys did some hunting and fishing and Brooke, Haley, Peggy, and Hudson relaxed. We had a very blessed and safe first Christmas together being married. The Lord is so good.

Christmas in Elysian Fields

It was great visiting family in east Texas and seeing Haley's old stomping ground. We hadn't been to Elysian Fields since July, so we enjoyed going back for a week. Tall trees, rain, and family...it was good to be there...
