Finally an update...

Greetings from the snow of the Midwest.  At this moment the weather is calling for 12-15 inches today, sooooo we thought we would update the blog just in case we lose power today.

WOW what can we say we have had a busy month and a half since our arrival back in the states.  Starting with Joshua's graduation from BIOLA to where we are now getting further education before heading back overseas the end of May.

We had a great Christmas Holiday time with family in Florida, in fact Kevin's cousin and his family from California surprised us for the Holiday season....

Lots of family what a nice surprise 

Then we had a blast traveling around and seeing the Christmas lights, of course we traveled in STYLE.....

Our sister-in-law drives for a trolley company and treated the family to a cool ride around town!
Kevin's sister and her son were the next Christmas surprise...they were able to spend a few days with family in Florida and enjoying the sunshine!

Whew....THEN...we packed up the car to head out for some continuing education and training AND we thought...hey, we're only 12hrs from where Corey is stationed...let's drive to Colorado for a few days :)
We totally fell in love with CO and had a great visit with our son and some friends we hadn't seen in ages!

We traveled just ahead of the first bad snow in January and of course had to stop in Kevin's favorite place in Atlanta "THE VARSITY"  to grab a chili dog and the best onion rings on the planet....(you can tell Kevin typed this)

Then it was on to Nashville, we thought we were ahead of the storm......NOT!

This is Nashville...not normal weather

From there we traveled on to Colorado...a 3 day drive from Florida when you are fighting wintry weather.

We got to visit with Corey at Fort Carson and traveled up to Estes Park to see some Elk...what a nice state...

Yes this is a live Elk....we got close!

Corey and Mom...having a GREAT day!

Thank you all for your prayers for us; we have traveled many miles please continue to lift us up!  We are heading out now and will take some pics of the snow storm that hit this morning...if the electricity does not go out we will post more pictures today or tomorrow.

This last picture is what we looked out and saw this morning.....gotta love winter.....

Have a great day and check back a bit later for more pics......Kevin and Laura
