Thanks for the Tickets!

No zoom required. Check out the view from our seats at the Avs game last night. Thanks to Pete & Tia for the tickets! We had a great time...even if the Avs lost 7-2!

Just another Snow Day...

So - I have been saying for over a week that we were due for a snow storm. Many people (o.k..maybe just one guy from Kansas) didn't quite believe me until I told him we were getting dumped on today. I think it has more to do with his desire to come to CO this weekend to see me than it does with his actually doubting me. Because even though this storm may be out of here tomorrow...it still has to pass through Kansas before he can get out here.

I braved the roads this morning to make it to the office. I was soaked before I even got to my car from my apartment building. My hair fell flat against my face, weighed down by big, fat, white snowflakes. My snow boots (yes, I wore boots) kept my feet nice and toasty warm and dry. But in true Sarah fashion, I didn't put my coat and gloves on - although they were with me in my car.

But now, I am back home. I made a nice yummy pot of creamy potato soup, put on my warm jammies, and snuggled up on the couch with my laptop. Believe it or not, I have done some work - what I can do remotely. But mostly I'm just glad I don't have to be out in this weather right now.

Tomorrow is another day. And I will have to brave the streets to go sit with Marie. But, as always in Colorado, we'll just have to wait and see what the morning brings.














I live in an apartment building with an enclosed courtyard so the snow piles up without the wind to blow it around. Check out the table and benches...my guess - about 2 feet of snow.

God at the Movies returns April 19th!

For as long as I've attended Colorado Ridge Church, I remember the series God at the Movies. We all watch movies - I know I do as often as I can - and I love seeing how these movies can be used to share part of God's story with mankind. And this year, I am very excited. I have seen two of the three movies already - and I'm excited to watch the third movie. I would encourage you that if you are within driving distance, you should come and check out this great series. And if you are not - at least check out these movies.

Here's how we are marketing the series at church!



Let's face it, we watch movies all the time. But did you ever think that God could be saying something to you through them? Come experience movies in a new way - it might just change the way you view God.

In this three-week series we will look at:
Peaceful Warrior starring Nick Nolte
Henry Poole is Here starring Luke Wilson
Dark Knight starring Heath Ledger

I am so blessed

It's been about a month since Titus and I have officially been dating. And it has been an absolutely amazing month. Every day, I am more impressed with him than I was the day before. Every conversation confirms what others saw long before I did. This man loves God with all his heart, soul, mind, and strength; and he loves others as he loves himself.

We met through E-Harmony last August. By mid-september we were communicating regularly and talking on the phone several times a week. Then in mid-october Titus made his first trip to Colorado. I knew immediately that we would get along. But I wasn't interested in anything other than friendship at first. Titus had a very difficult 2008. His wife of 10 years left him and his world was turned upside down as he realized that the divorce was a reality and he would only be able to see his children five days a month. I was cautious, but after five months prayer, friendship and faithful pursuing on his part, I realized this man really was ready to move on. He is the most impressive man I have ever met. His heart is humbled before God in a way I have rarely seen before. God has brought him through a most difficult experience and he is a better man for it.

Our future together excites me. I cannot wait to meet his children and see him interact with them as only a father can. There are very big logisitcal issues that have to be resolved as we work to discover where our future is going to lead us, but we know the God we serve is bigger than any of out obstacles.

As part of our Rebuilding series at church, Ryan spoke a few weeks ago. He talked about overcoming obstacles in our lives. Titus and I can both relate to that in our lives the past couple of years. And God has brought us through. Ryan asked the question, "Which is bigger? Your God or your obstacle? Your faith or the situation?" Titus and I both believe in a God who is bigger than any obstacle we may face. He has brought us this far together and we are confident He will work out all the details that are yet to come.

I am so blessed. I have a God who loves me beyond comprehension and a man He gave me to care for me on this earth. I have a family who supports me in every thing, every day. A church full of people who care for me. And a group of girlfriends who are my biggest cheerleaders in my life. What more could I ask for?
