[insert something witty here]

Family! Hi!

Michael, good call...this is a great idea! It's good to hear from you guys :-D

Sorry the Cantwells have been MIA! No real excuses, but Tim and I just got back from skiing in Aspen--our uncle on the Cantwell side hooked us up with some X Games tickets and lift tickets to Aspen. So, needless to say, we had a GREAT time. (We also heard a lot of executives bringing up Kelly's name. Apparently she is the latest and greatest of ESPN. But, everyone probably already knew that!)

So, this is my last semester at Regis University (I'm majoring in Neuroscience and Kinesiology) and I have very little schoolwork to do. So, I'm filling my weekends with skiing and my week days with road biking (when weather permits) and ministry. Right now, I am living in a Regis sponsored house (aka Uncle Regis picks up the bill) that focuses on social justice and community service. We have people over a lot to discuss different social justice issues and we are required to do community service. I'm working with a Christian ministry called Dry Bones Denver. It's a street outreach for the homeless youth of Denver. I really can't believe how much fun it is! I definitely value the relationships that I have with the street kids and I appreciate so much about them and their community. I'm also learning TONS about real, authentic Christianity, grace, and unconditional love from the staff.

Two of my biggest passions are college ministry and travelling and I've gotten to do a lot of both lately! I'm heavily involved with an organization called Campus Crusade for Christ and God's taken my passions all over the world this year to love and share life with college students...RUSSIA, Germany, Turkey, Mexico, El Salvador and, soon to be, southeast asia. It hasn't all been easy but it's been incredibly exciting and fulfilling. I can definitely say that life with Christ is an adventure! As for after graduation, I'm still trying to figure out if I will take a year off or head straight to physical therapy school. Either way, I'm eventually headed to Texas Woman's University in Houston to become a physical therapist. Hopefully, I'll be able to combine physical therapy and international missions in the future. I'd love to be able to serve people's physical needs in a second or third world country.

I'll let Tim post about himself, but our parents are doing well. Our mom is sticking with mentoring younger women and teaching Bible studies. Our dad is always out of the country for work...he's the director of a regional airport that is working hard with international cargo. Mom says "Hi" to all of you and sends her love and Dad "sends a shout out" (yep, he's cool).
