January 2012 update

Happy New Year! I know we’ve been MIA these last few months…and we’ve had lots of questions about where we are and what we’re doing, so I figured it was time to answer in one post. We moved from Puebla back to the States in November and have spent the last month or so re-acclamating to being back and celebrating the Holidays with our families. It’s been a big transition, but we can definintely see God in every step. He has provided a peace in our hearts in spite of many unknowns in our future. First good news – Tyler found a new job and is so excited. He will be the Area Vice President (in Phoenix) for...

Nos Vemos, Mexico! Nov04

Nos Vemos, Mexico!

Almost two years ago we came to all of you to announce an amazing opportunity to serve in Mexico. We were overwhelmed by all of your support and prayers as we embarked on an incredible journey. We spent one year raising support and were shown God’s faithfulness time and time again. Living here has been a time of great learning for us. God has taken care of us, provided for us and stretched us in many ways. We have been involved in times of great ministry and have seen the Gospel advanced. However, we feel as though we have completed many of the tasks we came to accomplish and are sensing the end of one stage and the beginning of...

Estoy aprendiendo Es...

Yes, I’m still working on my Spanish. You’d think after taking 5 years of Spanish classes and living here for 8 months I’d have it down, right? Nope. I understand a lot, but I have this terrible fear of speaking! My tongue gets all frozen when I’m forced to speak. I...

Happy 1/2 birthday, Pax

This lil’ guy is celebrating his 1st half birthday today!   I love stopping to really think about the last 6 months. It’s been a whirlwind of changes…moving to Mexico in January and having a baby here in March. I know if I don’t make myself stop and reflect, it’s all going to just zoom by. This guy has given us 6 months of pure joy. He is cuddly, loving, happy, content and loves to laugh and smile. He definitely embodies his name, Pax (peace in Latin). I joke that he is the perfect baby, but really, it’s no joke. He has been a joy to us and leaves me feeling like I could have more kids. (Everyone...

I [mustache] you a q...

Being here in Mexico, we are definitely learning that we have to seek out ways to be Spiritually challenged. We go to a terrific church, but some weeks we are in the nursery or trying to keep Zander corralled, so we miss the sermon all together. In addition, the sermon is in Spanish, so Tyler...

Back to School Sep04

Back to School

Upon returning back to Mexico at the beginning of August we had a couple fun weeks with Zander before school started back up (yes, they start school at a very young age here).  During those weeks we had the opportunity to explore the city we live in a little bit more and had so much fun.   ZOO We went to the local zoo where we saw animals that were behind cages, but you could touch if you were insane and wanted to get mauled by a tiger.  Here are a few pictures from our zoo trip…   PARK We also had the chance to go to our local park and run around for a morning.  We saw baby ducks, LOTS of giant goldfish, kicked the...

Turning 30 Aug22

Turning 30

Several years ago this life mile marker felt like forever away, but years have past and I am now officially 30.  Exactly 30 years ago today I was only a few days old, just released from a hospital and heading home with excited parents who would spend the next several months lacking sleep...
