Adventures of the Taylors: November 2012

Lots of new and exciting things to report! First, I started a new job as a make up artist at Nordstrom! I have been working for about two weeks now. I work with some great christian girls and have thoroughly enjoyed the job and enviornment. Chris and I have LOVED the fall here. The leaves all around are incredible. We had the pleasure of going to a pumpking patch a few weeks ago! There have been several highschool events since the last post as well. The funniest was an event called "zoo boo." The leaders all dressed up and wandered around the zoo and the students had to find them! Chris dressed up as an old man and colored his hair grey! On Halloween we helped out with the cake walk at the church. The little kids costumes were SO adorable! We also had a college retreat in Leavenworth! 24 college and beyonders joined us for a weekend at an incredible cabin on the river! We spent friday just lounging around, playing games, watching movies, and fellowshiping. Saturday we headed in to the cute bavarian town and had lunch and some time shopping! That evening we listened to a sermon by John Piper as a group and worshiped our King. Sunday we were up bright and early to head back to the church! It was an incredible weekend. Our cat, Lewis, is still doing well and rapidly growing! I love having him around. Please begin to pray for Chris and I as the weather is slowly starting to change to rain and overcast skies. We have been told my many that this extended period with lack of sun is the hardest part of the transition for anyone. In other news, we got confirmation yesterday that our requested dates to go to Hawaii were avaliable and we will be there in April for our 2 year anniversary!! We were so blessed to find a place whose ministry is to help ordained evangelical pastors afford vacations such as this! As always thank you so much for the sweet cards and continued support! We are so greatful. Looking forward to coming home for the holidays!!
