Remember the Hoveys?

Sorry its been so long since we've last posted. I'll try to catch you up on the life of the Hovey's as quick as possible. Since March we've had a variety of events happen in our lives. Abby and I sang in the Easter choir at our church. We made a trip to Breckenridge to sight-see in the beginning of April (they still had Christmas decorations up, but it was still snowy, so it fit the scene). We also got to go to a Denver Brass concert, which was a treat for me, since it was the first brass concert I've been to since leaving UNI.

Mid April Abby and I bought a new car! We purchased a 2008 Toyota Camry. Abby has been enjoying it to drive to work in during the week. The MPG is great. It is red and will be a good car for road trips later this summer.

Abby's cousin Laura came out to visit at the end of April. They went to Rocky Mountain National Park, Red Rocks Park & Amphitheater, and did some shopping together. We all went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science as well.

Abby surprised her family by coming home to visit Mother's Day weekend. She got to see some of her in-laws and a lot of her family, and Stephen and Carrie's (who were in our wedding party) twins. I was unfortunately left behind studying for finals that weekend. I finished finals and played my trombone at Denver Seminary's graduation ceremony.

Some of our favorite neices!

This summer I am taking Greek I and Greek II, though I am only auditing, which means that I sit in on class, but don't have to turn in assignments or take exams. That also means I won't recieve a grade for it either. Greek will be very beneficial for me since I want to end up in a church where I can do some preaching, even though it is not actually a part of my degree program. Otherwise I have just picked up some more hours at Lowe's for the summer months. Abby continues to work, enjoying her time helping people to heal and stay active, though if her commute were a little shorter she wouldn't mind.

We're looking forward to Abby's family coming to visit next week. We'll also be coming back to Iowa in July and August for family weddings. My little brother is getting married in July and Abby's cousin Laura is getting married in August. So we have a couple road trips to make!
