CROWELL HAPPENINGS!

Hello! Welcome to our Blog!

We recently decided to write a newsletter to send out, to let you know of our experiences the last year. However, after we had written it, we said, "Why not just start a blog?" There are so many, if not everyone, who used the internet now that we figured this would be the easiest way. If you would like a printed copy of our newsletter though, let us know, ok?
Here we will try to keep you posted on the "happenings" of Jeremy and Lacey. We hope this will be a good way to keep in touch. Bear with us as we figure this "blog thing" out. :) Below is a copy of our newsletter.
Blessings!



Look! A newsletter from Jeremy and Lacey!
Yes, before summer was completely gone, we were able to complete our first newsletter; if not somewhat promptly after our first anniversary.:) Say, where did the time go? As fast as the year went by, it certainly wasn’t lacking in activity. Here’s a glimpse of our past year…… Enjoy!

The “Crowell Happenings” started August 18th, 2007, when we were married a few weeks before returning to Minnesota. It was an amazing time, and a privilege to see so many family and friends before leaving the wonderful state of Washington to go back to the AFLC campus in Plymouth, MN. Then started the journey….
---------------------------------------------------------

September 2007- We moved into our new home, which happens to be seminary housing right on campus of the school. How convenient! Jeremy started his second year of seminary, now happily married to a “Seminette.” (meaning he does all the school work, and I (Lacey) just have the label “Seminette” and get together with the seminary wives) :)
Jeremy enjoyed his second year of seminary, working alongside about twenty or so other students. They kept him quite busy, especially with all the Greek homework. It was somewhat of a challenge balancing his full schedule of classes, homework, working on planes and having a new wife on top of that! (He did a good job)
In the middle of September, after the house was “put together”, I started a full- time job as a nanny for a wonderful, Christian family of a little boy named Daakon. (pronounced like you are dockin’ a boat. :)

December 2007- Finals, Christmas, a wedding and Washington about sums up the events of December. First semester ended with a week of finals before taking off for home. It was a blessing to be able to make it home for two weeks. The Christmas season was a busy time for us. We celebrated Christmas twice as much this year! It was fun to be able to share it with both sides of the family; and having everyone so close for the time being. A few days after Christmas, a beautiful wedding took place. Jeremy’s mom was married to Cal Willard, and they now live up in Roseau, MN. We are able to see them fairly often which is a blessing.

January- May 2008- Good bye Washington residency! By the time second semester rolled around, we finally had everything from name changes, to Minnesota driver’s licenses, to figuring out insurance stuff done. (It’s a lot of work to get married! :) It was a sad day when the WA plates were removed, but change is good, right? (like snow that lasts until the end of April and Jeremy gaining a couple pounds from his wife's delicious cooking.)
Jeremy continued to work hard in both school work and working with FLAPS. We have been able to take a few “ministry trips” in the FLAPS planes this past year as well.
I carried on my job with Daakon, who gets smarter and cuter as time goes on. He definitely knows his ABC’s and 123’s! Thank you Winnie the Pooh!

Summer 2008- No school for the summer! It was such a nice break to not have to worry about homework for a couple months. We both enjoyed exploring a bit more of Minnesota, as well as taking a few trips. It was both a very relaxing and busy summer this year.
In June, my parents celebrated their 25th anniversary, and to do it correctly, we met them in California and took a trip to Disneyland. It was an excellent trip!
In July, a trip was taken up to Naknek, Alaska! The Cessna 175, which had been in WA getting repairs, was ready to be brought back up to Alaska. Jeremy and Lavon Bohling (who he works for at FLAPS), flew the airplane up to Naknek and Fern Bohling and I flew up to meet them a week later. It was a worthwhile trip, as we may end up there in the near future. It was nice to be able to get a taste of what work we would possibly be doing.

Now a year has passed since we “tied the knot.” It’s surprising once again how the time has just flown by. God has definitely blessed us, and we are thankful for the days He has given us. We look forward to this upcoming school year and how he will lead us for our internship year which will start this coming June. Lord willing, we will have another newsletter out much sooner! Until then…..

Thank you for your prayers and loving support!





Please pray…..
1. That God would continue to be with Jeremy in his studies and busy schedule.
2. For Lacey and her work with Daakon; that she would be a godly example to the little guy.
3. That God would provide health, finances and energy for this coming school year.
4. For the work that is going on up in Naknek, AK and the doors that are being opened.
And that we would know God’s will for our possible ministry up there in the future.
