Off on Another Road Trip

Tomorrow, Kristy and I are off to Phoenix to spend time with her sister and brother-in-law. For those of you who’ve been keeping up with the blog, yes, we just spent last weekend with them here in Colorado. This trip to Phoenix was planned long before that scouting trip. I’m actually really happy that we get to see them some more. Aside from the fact that the four of us just get along so well, it’s really good for Kristy to get the extra time with her family. The thought of us being so far from family while in Ireland is most difficult on her.

After our time in Arizona, it’s off to California, where we finally get to spend more time with my family. We’re looking forward to seeing our new niece. On Saturday, May 13, we drive up to Washington State with my dad, leaving my mom to help Tyson and Iris with the new baby. (At least that’s how mom puts it. Really I think it’s just a matter of her taking advantage of not working anymore to spend extra time with her grandkids.)

While we’re in the Great Northwest, we’re looking forward to connecting with as many financial partners as possible. At this point, we’re still trying to dial in coffee and lunch appointments and we’re not even sure when we’ll be at certain churches on the 14th and 21st. (Still trying to decide when we’ll land at Grace & Glory and when we’ll be at Cascade Park.)

On another note, I’m really hoping we’ll be in Dublin in time to hit up Pearl Jam’s European tour kick-off. You can bet I’ll be listening to their latest record on my MP3 player on the way to Phoenix tomorrow. Looks like they’ll have My Morning Jacket along for the first leg of the U.S. tour, which should also be a great show. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like they’ll be coming to Denver.

Also, I’m looking forward to playing around with this little Web 2.0 application when I have a little more time.
