Life Changing?

Bryan and I have some big news....



No I'm not pregnant :) but it's still pretty big.



We've decided to apply to be trail-walkers in the Anasazi Program!
It's a wilderness survival program for "troubled" teens.  If we are accepted we'll be out in the arizona desert hiking and camping for 4 months helping these kids open their hearts, learn more about themselves and others and hopefully make shelter and reaching our destination in one piece. We are really excited to be a part of such an amazing and world renown program.  We hope to learn a lot from the program and these kids and to become closer to God and each other.  We'd love your prayers while we prepare on this journey! More updates as soon as we know!

  1. my brother did this program and from what i've heard about it it's crazy and cool and you hike sooo much and eat kinda nasty food, but that's super cool! i hope you get it!

  2. My cousin did this and really had a good time. He said it was heart breaking to hear the teen's problems though, especially the young women, so be prepared for that.
