We visited Colfelt’s
in their lovely home tucked in the cul-de-sac of Fir Street in a
secluded corner of Eastern Forest Grove; the perfect place to raise two
busy little girls.
Steve and Trista are
true Oregonians. Steve was born in Portland and Trista in the Beaverton
area. Steve moved to Forest Grove in 1979, attended Forest Grove High
School, and Oregon State and majored in Communications. He now works
for IDT, Integrated Device Technology which is a semi-conductor
manufacturing plant, like Intel, but only on a small scale.
Trista is a
homemaker and attended Sunset High School.
They were married in
1996 and Daniell was born November 27, 2000, then Haleigh in April 25,
2003.
Colfelt’s looked a
long time but decided Mt. Olive Church, and the Saturday night service
was right for them. Since Steve often works nights, Sunday service was
not an option for a family worshipping together.
Steve enjoys fishing
and golfing some with the guys. The family hobbies include snow
boarding, skiing, and camping. Trista and Steve snow board and the
little girls ski. The girls also swim, bike ride, take ballet and
T-bal. Daniell is in pre-school. Trista also does scrapbooking when
she has time.
The Colfelts also
enjoy a large, extended family, so birthday parties and holidays are
numerous.
Trista and the
girls, and Dad sometimes, spend time at the “Indoor Playground” at the
Foresters’ Hall in Verboort where the girls play and go on outings.
For now working and
traveling with the trailer and raising the girls are their plans for the
future.
