We are not dead!

Yes, we're not dead. It's just been a busy *few* months so we're been a little preoccupied. But yes, we are still here, and we are still alive :)
Life has been full for us the past little while. We are both now extremely active in our little church and that has been keeping us quite busy. We both lead worship pretty near every sunday (Logan every sunday, me most sundays). I have been co-leading our women's sunday school and Logan has been leading our wednesday night bible studies. For bible study, we've been practicing hermeutics, and so we are going through the book of Acts. Which also works out because we are currently in the search for a full time pastor for our church of 30 people.
We are pretty excited though, as we have found a prospective pastor and voted today on offering the job. The church was unanimous, so we may have a new pastor here within the next 1-6 months! Praising the Lord for the perfect fit!
Logan and I kind of indulged a little bit about a month ago. I had been wanting to purchase a new camera for quite awhile and so I did! I'm thoroughly enjoying it and have used it quite a bit to break it in :) We also sold my guitar and got a new guitar that Logan had been drooling over for quite awhile. It worked out that with his work discount and the fact they sell the guitars cheaper than market price, we got the guitar for almost 50% off and Logan has been playing it pretty well every night since he got it. It's a gorgeous guitar. (for Dad Kennedy, Taylor 816 ce with sitka spruce top, indian rose back and sides with maple bindings and custom inlays) Definitely a welcome addition to our family!
We've also been trying to figure out a few big decisions! We've been discussing the housing situation now and have been keeping our eyes on the market. Turns out we do have a fairly cheap housing market (which I wouldn't have believed had I not looked curiously in other cities). A big decision we've been praying for quite awhile and are just waiting to figure out what's the right move.
I've also been praying a lot and thinking a lot about my photography. I'm not sure what road to take. I love photos, they stir something inside me that gets me excited, but I seem to have lost my passion for photography, and so am not sure if I want to pursue it as a professional career, or to do it for a hobby and maybe sell prints on the side. Maybe it's not getting out there and taking what I love, maybe it's worrying to much about what other people think, or maybe it's just comparing myself to other photographers, I don't know. I'm working on getting the passion back, but I'm just not sure how to do that. I think I'm going to decide on a personal project and just go for it. Do what I love, and not what other people expect of me. I'm hoping it can come back, because like I said, I do love it. We'll see what the future holds!
Other than that, we are looking forward to a summer full of weddings for family and friends! We currently have 4 weddings we'll be attending, 2 of which we are a part of. It'll be another busy summer, but a great one nonetheless. Hope to keep you guys updated. I need to keep on top of this blogging thing... :)

To end, here's Logan playing his new guitar, and me using my new camera :)

Tyler Bryce

I haven't posted any pictures of little Tyler yet! Tyler was born July 20, 2011 and he is a little chunk compared to Evan...Right now he's 14 pounds and he's 3 months old. Evan was 16 pounds when he turned one...so Tyler is going to be the "bigger" little brother I think!
I have only met Tyler once and I can't wait to see him again! He's growing too fast and all I see are pictures! here are a few:3 weeks old - first and only time seeing him so far!
I guess Tyler doesn't like Evan holding him! :)And some more recent ones:He definitely has a "Knapp" look to him. He looks much more like Marlys (in my opinion judging from pictures) You tell me, Do they look like Brothers?


Date Weekend!

Today was a good day at work. We had a man from the Sawridge hotel in Jasper come present to us what's new and going on there so we are able to promote it. He had a prize to be drawn at the end of the presentation between all of us travel staff, and guess who won it-- that's right! I won two nights accomodation at the Sawridge in Jasper! We even get a full breakfast each morning. Guess Logan and I are going to be heading out on a "Date Weekend" here soon!

Dinner?

I tend to make random dinners that don't really go well together. I could blame it on not getting home from work until 6, so we want something fast. I could blame it on not having groceries to make an actually normal meal. But who am I kidding? A lot of times it's just plain laziness. Tonight we had oven fries...and brocoli. I've been trying to make good homeade oven fries since we've been married, and they always seem to turn out soggy, greasy and just not good. But tonight, I had my first successful batch! Granted they were slightly greasy, but they were delicious! And the Broccoli, well, it was just going bad...and I didn't have crackers to make a soup - steamed broccoli with some garlic spices it is!

Out and About

Logan and I went for a walk last night because it finally seems like we're getting some summer around here! It was gorgeous! He'll get used to me taking his pictures yet :)
