Got in, leaving soon!!!

We are back in Salem for three days...
What a great time in Florida. Was the first time married that we didn't have any major brake downs or problem, so good to see Jess getting to know more of my culture and friends and how we relate to each other. We did great together. We believe that we are in the spot of turning in our marriage, the first year is over and the hardships that we went through are pretty much done. We know that what we have in front of us is not going to be easy but we are full of hope after this last month!! I so wish we had this same time in Brazil or that we would go to Brazil now instead after two weeks of marriage and living in my brother's home.... The time there was hard because we didn't know each other and the foundation wasn't build up yet. I'm so glad though that it was in my brother's home and not anywhere else!!!

Pictures: Geocaching, Dolphins X Bengals (22row and 50 yard line, what a seats were given to us because of the Miami bad season!!) and New Year's Eve Calvary Chapel FL.

So we are here getting ready to go to Hawaii to visit Jess' home and family that didn't come to our wedding. We are exciting because we are going to have a family of supporters with us for two weeks from Wyoming. Five kids, Mom and Dad... will be amazing!!!
So Jess and myself are going to have just five days there alone to see everything and support raise a little...
We ready have the schedule for a soccer coaching class in February here in Oregon. 13 hours in how to coach teenagers...I'm more excited than Jess for that because I love soccer and she is starting play just now, so the rules scared her a little, but we will be there. This will open so many doors in Sudan because they love soccer too. After that we are moving to Minneapolis for couple of months.
Jess is still working a part time with nursing and I'm serving at the Base.
Blessings to you!!!
