Ok, so, we've made it to Heber City, actually,
we made it about a month ago,
(Jan.18th, Marty's B-Day). It's beautiful, and with new friends we've made, as well as our pastor who is from California, it already feels like home. It helps too that we love the cold. The girls love the snow!! In case you haven't received the scoop on why we moved to Utah, here it is: Due to some unfortunate circumstances that happened to our family during last summer, we basically felt like God was trying to get our attention, and lead us in an entire new direction. We knew without a doubt that he wanted us both to leave our jobs, and we were open to anything. So, because we weren't sure where He wanted us, we cried out to Him. That day, when we got home, we found a message on our answering machine from our pastor. Marty called Pastor Shane, and our pastor mentioned to him that he and his family were going to Utah to plant a Christian Churh, starting from scratch. Then he told Marty that he felt that God was putting it on his heart to ask if he would be interested in starting it with him. Wow! When we told God that we were willing to go anywhere, Utah was the furthest from our minds! After several weeks of prayer, here we are! Before we left, Kacie was blessed with being able to work for Foothill Chistian Pre-school, (An amazing experience and an incredible school to work for), where we also sent our oldest daughter, Kaera.Marty then stayed home with our youngest daughter, Jennifer,(aka: Jenn-a- bear).
So, at 3am, Jan. 18th, we left with both kids asleep in the back seat. We finally made it to Heber at around 4pm. Not bad with both kids in the back seat! At first, we stayed with Bob and Saide, until Shane moved in to his new home. Now we live downstairs, in Big Daddy Shane's house. This Sunday evening, we begin the new church,Mountain View Fellowship, in Shane's home. Please keep us in your prayers. Something else you can pray for is some new friends we have been reaching out to, who are completely open to coming to the new church. Well, we will keep everyone posted with future news and exciting events. We love you!

I love seeing the pics of you and your new house-church. It seems really cool!! Also, thanks for the shirt--it was the perfect gift. Fits good, and I like the style of the shirt, as well as the "message". I've worn it a lot. And even more, I don't even wash it between wearings--trying to be "bold". You know?
