      2009: A year in review

      I’ve been planning to make a post like this for about a month now.  As I sat down this morning to finally type it out I’m more than a bit amazed at just how much actually did happen in Sara and I’s lives in 2009.  Below is just a glimpse at the past 365 days…

      What’s been up and coming up

      I realize it’s been nearly two weeks since you have heard from us.  We’ve been keeping more than busy these past few weeks.  Here’s what’s been going on!
      First off, we finished up our first “semester” in language study.  We’ve been hitting the books hard for 5 months now and it shows.  We are learning as [...]

      Over 100 people commented via Twitter and Facebook and despite being over 7,000 miles from home back in the States, we felt a bit closer with all your thoughts and [...]

      sick…blargh!

      I haven’t been feeling well all week.  It’s a simple head cold, but it is somehow taking me down…
      I hate being sick…and I hardly ever am.  But I just haven’t been able to kick this bug I picked up.  And, you know the only thing worse than having a cold?  It’s when you have a [...]

      I took some time to edit a few photos that I had taken back in June when we were in Colorado.  As many of you know, photography is [...]

      rocking Bang Saen

      Four years ago we served at a church in Bang Saen, a city that we have grown to love.  It’s a small university town that is MUCH quieter than Bangkok or other large cities.
      When we showed up in Thailand this time, we scheduled it so that we could go down to Bang Saen for a [...]

      how it happened…

      First off, I will say that we utterly underestimated what was about to take place after returning from Colorado in mid-July.  We enjoyed our time in Colorado getting to know OMF and working through all the details of our partnership with them and our denomination.  At the end of our time with them we were [...]
