Chris and I have been receiving packages in the mail lately: a rice cooker, an apple slicer and a cake platter-even our internet!! It's quite exciting to receive mail with "Bri and Chris Harrington" on the front. Bri has received both her social security card and driver's license with her new name on it-how exciting! We were also excited to receive our rice cooker and it was so nice to have rice again-I'm so Asian! We made 4 cups of rice which lasted us for about 4 bowls of rice-each! We have also received a cake platter as a wedding present from some friends-I was very happy about that because now we have a cake platter for the delicious Harrington Chocolate Birthday Cake! My birthday is a little over 3 months away so we had to be prepared. ;)
Life in Greeley continues to be exciting. We visited a new church Saturday night: Christ Community Church. Smaller than Woodmen and a bit different but we loved the sermon. The pastor, Alan Kraft talked about us being the Bride and making herself ready for when Jesus comes back. It was so relevant to Chris and I since we just got married (almost a month ago!)-we related to the sermon very well! After the service we went to the Guest Center (The Gathering Place) and met the lead pastor, Alan! He got to know us a bit and I mentioned working in Children's Ministries at Woodmen Valley and took us upstairs to see their Children's area! Let me just say, my jaw literally dropped and was amazed at the area! The entire upstairs was devoted to elementary kiddos: slides, games, a stage with awesome lights, a very energetic team who you can tell loves kids (and debriefs with each other at the end of the day), they had it all! The funny thing was is that the director wanted to pick my brain about Woodmen when I wanted to pick his about their ministry! Everything looked so fun and kid welcoming. I hope to get involved soon... :)
In our down time when it is so hot outside (or smelly... ;) ), Chris and I like to play Sequence. Since I finally understood the game I have been beating him! It is now my favorite game! The students of UNC are here in Greeley and you can definitely tell by their driving and by the empty shelves at Wal-Mart of the cheap food. Oh well, it's good to have some more people around our age and hopefully we can get connected with them soon through Young Life or Christ Community. :)
Tomorrow we are going to go hiking on the westside of Loveland and then next weekend we are going camping with Chris' family! Can't wait to finally enjoy the mountains and the outdoors!!!!
Continue to pray for us:
Bri-finding a job and starting school on Monday
Chris: continuing to do well at his job and finding some friends (for both of us!)
And just that we will continue to grow together as a married couple in God's story!
