KTH7

Nope, not France…but good guess, though. Our most recent adventure took us down South to Haiti. With our group of 17 we maxed out the little prop-plane that took us from US soil over the ocean to the foreign land where we would be working for the week. Our task was to immerse ourselves in the culture and provide whatever help we could. Once we were on the scene we worked shoulder to shoulder with the Haitians to extend a church that had outgrown its previous space. The work was grueling but the excitement of being a part of the building of God’s Kingdom cannot be explained in words. We had a great time and can’t wait to go back.

The NSYO trip to Gore Mountain in New York was epic. The nine hour journey to the mt. included much laughter, sleeping, rapping and funny smells. Once on the slopes the madness continued with aerial tricks, fast carving and one incident with a grumpy old man who thought he was the best (but was clearly not).

Cat and I had a wonderful valentines day. We ate cake in the morning, looked back in time to some of our first conversations and then enjoyed an evening at PF Chang’s restaurant. Love was certainly in the air.

This Christmas/Steelers party combined the excitement of Christmas with the energy of NFL football. Who needs a half-time show when you’ve got a couple trays of whip-cream covered m&m’s and two teams racing to finish first? Wow.

We’re back from the honeymoon and getting back to reality. Even though there’s no room service and our bed doesn’t magically make itself, it’s good to be back home. If you are interested in seeing pictures from the wedding just click on the “wedding” tab and follow the pictures link.
