Lynchburg Trip

Charissa's younger brother graduated on May 10th from Liberty, so we traveled out there with the Lewis fam to celebrate. It was a beautiful day and the ceremony was really nice. Chuck Norris gave the commencement address- he shared about how he came to know Christ and how that has changed his life.


Toby's degree is in Aviation and he's on his way to being a Marine pilot.

His diploma ceremony was in the hangar at the airport. It was cool to see the planes that he had learned to fly. Congrats Toby! We're so proud of you!!


We also got to spend some time with our sister Kyndal and all our friends that are still in Lynchburg. Our good friends Jay and Jackie Parks have a beautiful little girl named Lydia and Charissa just couldn't get enough of her. We love our life in Colorado but we really miss all the people we love in Lynchburg. It was a great trip!

Ron's Grad Party!

We went to a party Saturday night to celebrate Charissa's brother Ron finishing his Master's degree. We got to hold Brady - he's getting so big !
I love being an Auntie!
These are our good friends Matt and Alisa Lake. We love you guys!

Baby Bradyn is here!

We welcomed our beautiful new nephew, Bradyn Asher Lewis into the world today. He was born at 6:31am and weighed 8 pounds 13 ounces. He's absolutely perfect! Congratulations Ron and Alisa!

A Colorado White Christmas!!!

    We had such a wonderful Christmas. Jeremy's sister Kyndal came to visit during her break and we spent Christmas at Charissa's parents with the Lewis family. It snowed ALL DAY!!!!!! and it was beautiful. We had such a wonderful day together. Ron ( Charissa's brother) and Alisa are expecting their first baby anytime now. We can't wait to meet him or her:)

Chicago Trip

Jeremy's friend Caleb Slayton got married on the 15th of Dec. in Chicago, so we took a quick trip up there to be at the wedding. Caleb is a friend from Rift Valley Academy, and a bunch of their classmates were there. 

Congratulations Caleb and Roxy! 

Our friend form Liberty, Jake Pelfrey, lives in Chicago, so we stayed with him for a couple nights and he took us into downtown Chicago. It was so much fun but soooooooo cold. 

Thanks Jake! We had a blast.

HO HO HO! Merry Christmas!!!!

Boarding at Crested Butte

We took a trip to beautiful Crested Butte, CO to do some snowboarding. We went with our friend Jeremy Fowler whose wife, Kelly, was supposed to meet us up there but a huge snow storm moved through SouthWest Colorado and dumped 3 ft of snow! Great for boarding, not so great for driving. We had a blast.

Jeremy's Birthday

We celebrated Jeremy's birthday with Charissa's parents and our good friends Jake and Julianne at our favorite Mexican Restaurant. Happy 24th Birthday Jeremy- nice sombrero!

Dad and Mom Jones Visit

Jeremy's parents came to the states to be in a missions conference in Maine during October and spent a week with us. We had an amazing week doing all sorts of fun things. We spent a few days up in the mountains and did some biking. We went to a Rockies game and Jeremy and Dave watched the Broncos play the Raiders. It was so great to spend time with you guys - we love you!!!!!!

Two Years of Wedded Bliss!

"How beautiful, then, the marriage of two Christians, two who are one in home, one in desire, one in the way of life they follow, one in the religion they practice. . . Nothing divides them either in flesh or in spirit. . . They pray together, they worship together, they fast together; instructing one another, encouraging one another, strengthening one another. Side by side they visit God's church and partake God's banquet, side by side they face difficulties and persecution, share their consolations. They have no secrets from one another; they never shun each other's company; they never bring sorrow to each other's hearts. . . Seeing this Christ rejoices. To such as these He gives His peace. Where there are two together, there also He is present." -Tertullian

Fun with the Parks!

Our good friends Jay and Jackie Parks came to visit us and we had a blast! We went backpacking, climbed Mt. Yale (14,197 ft.), did some mountain biking and saw The Fray in concert at Red Rocks! We love you guys!
