It was sad to say goodbye for now to Elissa (who just turned 20 today!) when she left this Wednesday, but we're looking forward to seeing her again out here for Spring Break.
Enjoy the pictures!

Monarch Ski Trip
School is back in session for all of us, but before the fun of Christmas break ended, many of us had the opportunity to go to Monarch Mountain to hit the slopes! Dad, Mom, and Elissa through Becca had a great day of skiing. The weather was perfect, and no one was seriously injured--though a few of us ate snow our fair share of times. Katie and I tried snowboarding for the first time; Becca looked as if she had been born with skiis, only falling once during her entire first experience of the sport.

Happy New Year!
All,
It's hard to believe I haven't posted since November, but time flew and the Christmas season has come and gone! We had a wonderful visit with the nearly the entire Jarrett family while in Indiana. The school semester begins on Monday the 7th, so we are enjoying this last week to prepare our hearts and minds for the upcoming year. From the Jarrett Tribe, we wish you a Happy New Year--not because of the circumstances we will find ourselves in or the events that will take place, but because of the incredible love that God has displayed to us all. May you have joy and peace in these next 12 months!
-Nate, for the Tribe

November Update
Good Morning All,
It's hard to believe that October is gone! November is here, and that means Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Although there is never a day where we don't have many things to be thankful for, it is always a blessing to set aside time to make it a point to give thanks. With the new month comes more birthdays for our family: Only eight days left until Christie's birthday, and eleven until Becca's!
On Wednesday of this week, we enjoyed getting to meet some of our new neighbors that have recently moved into the houses that Challenger Homes has built in our neighborhood. For Halloween, we set up a table with candy and hot chocolate at our house; we were also able to pass out Gospel tracts with the treats. I've included some pictures of all of us in costume below...
In the past week, we've also enjoyed visiting with Uncle Gary and Aunt Darlene (Mom's aunt and uncle) who are here from Tennessee.
This morning, we will head out soon to participate in NiceServe with our church. NiceServe happens a few times a year, and is a practical way of serving our community with the love of Christ. For example, the first time we participated, we were able to assist an injured Iraqi veteran and his wife by totally transforming the landscaping at their house; today we will be helping out a local elementary school that is in need of some restoration. Pray that we are able to bless those that we come in contact with today.
For the Tribe,
-Nate

Josh and I were cowboy buddies; I took him trick-or-treating, and everyone thought he was pretty cute!

Switchfoot & Paper Route!
As a birthday present, Dad took me and my friends Nate and Jon to see two amazing bands--Switchfoot (my favorite band ever) and Paper Route--in Denver this past Monday. Here are some of the pictures from the concert (and waiting in the long line)!
To give perspective on how big the crowd was, the line that you see in front of the entrance wrapped around the side of the building for an entire block (about 4x) what you see, then turned around the corner and continued for more than another block. We guessed that there were probably around 1,200 in attendance (keeping in mind that the max occupancy is 900), but even though it was packed, we had a great time.

A few other pictures...
For those of you who were wondering, if you receive this update in email form, you can click on the link at the bottom of the email, and it will take you directly to the blog post. Once on the blog, you don't have to click on each picture to load them individually; they can be viewed similar to the web album, so you just click on one, then use the arrows to flip through the photos.
I forgot to add the nostalgic pictures that a kind aunt sent me on my birthday (thanks Laura). ;) So without further ado...

October Update
All,
It's been another busy week, complete with sports, school, homecoming (the theme was Hollywood, see the picture below), and my 18th birthday. I'm adding some pictures from both Josh's and my birthday, our school's Powder Puff game (Katie was the quarterback for the Juniors!), snowy Pikes Peak, and a few nostalgic pictures that I was sent on my birthday.
Softball is over for Christie, and almost done for Katie, who is finishing the season with the Varsity. Soccer ends on Thursday for me; even though we've had a rough season, I've enjoyed playing and am grateful for this opportunity God has allowed me to have during high school.
On Friday, Katie, Christie, and I went to our school's football game (it was a bit chilly!); last night, both girls went with some of their friends from softball to the homecoming dance.
I'm going to try something new with this post. Instead of adding pictures to different pages, I'll include them in the actual post. I thought it might be easier to see them, rather than having to search for the latest ones. Feedback is always appreciated!
For the Jarrett Tribe,
-Nate
