Brief Update (from Sherri)

Hola. We haven't posted in awhile, so I thought I'd say hey and update a little on our life the past few weeks.
We've been house-hunting, hoping to be in a place of our own sometime this summer. We're really excited about that!! Adam is AMAZING at researching properties and keeping up-to-date on what the housing market is doing, and we've been saving money for a down-payment, etc., so we're praying for the right house to show up!
We're looking forward to a nice visit from my parents in June/July. They booked their tickets a couple days ago, so it's a go! They've never been to Alaska in the summer, so we're planning on doing some "tourist-y" things: whale-watching cruises, Denali National Park, etc. I'm personally looking forward to them seeing why I fell in love with Alaska! The summers here make the winters worth it! Although... our winter has been incredibly mild, compared to what's been tearing across the Lower 48! We don't dare to hope that break-up is officially here, but it appears that way! It's been in the mid-40's for a couple weeks now. We can even see grass on most of the hill behind our condo, which doesn't usually happen until mid- to late-April.
Also, Adam is VERY excited to go to opening day for the Seattle Mariners at the end of this month. He had a free plane ticket he had to use by March 31, and opening day is March 31, so that worked out perfectly! He's a huge Mariner's fan, so opening day will be a ton of fun for him! AND, they're playing the Texas Rangers, which is the team they were playing the day we went to a game on our honeymoon, so he's all sentimental about that! (How cute is he??)
Work for me is still going GREAT. I'm so thankful that God gave me this job! After years of jobs where I felt like I was never good enough, He's given me a job where I truly feel appreciated and loved, and I feel like I bring something to the table. My boss is such a great godly woman, and we start every day in prayer together. Who could ask for a better environment to work in than one that's covered in prayer daily? I love it!!
So, that's what's up with the Legg's right now. Keep checking in! We'll keep you updated on the house situation, and I'm sure Adam will let you know how the game went! :o) Ciao!
