Golf Anyone?

This past weekend we joined Jordan's parents in camping. We had a wonderful time going for walks, golfing, eating and visiting with Jordan's aunt and uncle who came up for the day. I quite enjoy spending time with mom and dad Doerksen when we have the chance to.

Camping

I'm going to be traveling back in time to a few weekends ago. The last weekend in May, my family and I went to our cabin in the 'hills' to camp. We had a great time relaxing, eating, building bridges, taking pictures and hunting, and target practise. Here are some pictures of the weekend.

On our last morning at the cabin, I was greated by an amazing sight. I was on my way out to go use the 'out house' but I didn't get past the front door. Here's why.

Fun Filled Weekend

July 9th was a day of Celebration!! Jordan's grandparents celebrated their 50th Anniversary!

It was a beautiful day with friends and family. I'm so thankful that God has blessed Grandma and Grandpa Siemens with 50 wonderful years together.

During that weekend Jordan and I were able to host our cousins Jay and Cheri for the weekend. I really enjoyed the time spent with them and being able to get to know them better. I'm looking forward to the next time they come up to La Crete.

This past week has been busy. Jordan and I have both been working and trying to keep up with yard work. Jordan has been putting in 11 to 15 hour days at work which makes it hard to plan any evenings out with friends. It's a challenge but it's also been fun facing that challenge. As for myself I pretend to work.

Back in March Jordan and I took Stacy, Cayla, and Nichole to 365. We had a great time out there and a very interesting trip.
This bubble gum provided hours of intertainment for the three. We had no idea that package of gum we bought would be so usefull to them. Our time at 365 was refreshing. It was great to sit back and enjoy seeing God work in the lives of so many youth (as well as in my life). The event was done very well and the speaker had messages that hit home. It was worth the 18 hour drive. Visiting friends was also a great motivation for Jordan and I to go.

Some exciting news, Lindsay is coming to spend a week with us. I'm so looking forward to spending time with ther again. She's a dear friend and it's been to long a time. As some of you are aware, she's going to be moving to Africa for a while doing missions out there, so this will be a great time to hang out before she heads out. There's a lot that we hope to be able to catch up on and enjoy each others company once again.

How it all began

OK, so I'm new to this whole blog thing and I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing but here goes.

The beginning of our time together all started when we met in Youth Group at one of the local churches. From there we became friends, friends to couple and couple to married couple.

A few year back Jordan went to NBC (formerly known as NBI) for a year of schooling while I stayed home. That year was great and horrible all at the same time. But we made it through. The next fall I joined him out there. What a blessed year.

August of 2006 we got married and have been enjoying our lives together as one.

So this past year we've been playing house and going through the "Honey, I'm home!" routine. It's been a great year with it's many challenges and laughs. It's been great being at home and getting to know each others parents and being able to get involved in the church we've been attending.
