I am sorry to report that we did not make it to the top of Saddle Mountain this weekend. It was a three mile hike to the top and we made it just past halfway. It was a beautiful hike and lots of fun, but one of the girls in the youth group wasn't feeling well and we had to keep stopping for her. If we would have had more time, we might have been able to go up farther. The views on the the hike were amazing though, and I want to go back sometime and do the whole trail!
David has an interview for a job in Vancouver today. A friend from our church is a manager at a specialty gas company and David is applying to be a delivery/sales guy. Please say prayers/send happy thoughts/etc on his behalf! (For those of you who may not know, his youth ministry job with Central is ending this weekend after Faith Quest. They let him know about a month ago that financially, the church wouldn't be able to pay him after the summer. We were pretty bummed about it at first, but we plan to stay there and volunteer - we have really enjoyed working with the teens there and I think the group is finally starting to grow.)
David and I are also looking for a new apartment right now. The ghetto just isn't cutting it for us anymore. If you know of a place in the Mt. Tabor/Gateway/Central area that has two bedroom apartments at a decent price - let us know! (Oh yeah, and they have to have a washer and dryer hook-up, dishwasher, deck/patio, and allow small dogs - 'cause we really want to get one!)

Our apartment complex is renting right now, but it's kind of expensive. Have you tried Craigslist?
Yep, Craigslist is great! They have all sorts of cool things on there! Moving to a new place will be tough because our rent right now is so cheap! Makes sense though: ghetto=cheap. =)
there is an awesome place near us (that is sort of like our apt but bigger) with a patio/porch thing and two bedrooms. i dunno about washer/dryer. and i think it is $800 a month . . . probably too much. but it is freakin' sweet!
good luck finding a place! i say craigslist is definitely the place to go.
Small dog huh? What about the chin chin? Or will you have both? Make sure to get a small dog that doesn't eat everything ok? Make sure it's name isn't Reggie......
