The Past Month

Well we have been home for just over a month now and so much as happened! We have been getting lots of questions about whether or not we will continue to blog or when we were going to again...the answer is yes and now! So..let's see...back to Uganda here for a moment. We had the most fantastic send off from Africa. We felt so loved! We met some great people during our time overseas and were so blessed by them! The night before we flew out we took Meg to church for her dedication - very fitting way to end our time with her - by giving her back to God! That evening we went out for one last dinner with everyone and final good-byes. We miss our friends and babies that we left in Uganda!

Here we are coming off the plane back into civilization:)

We had a one week layover in London, England in between Uganda and home. It was a great week full of relaxation and touring.
My parents and Nathan met up with us in England (we missed Becca - she had to stay in the states and work!) - it was great to spend time as a family.
We arrived back to Canada in May...and the first morning we were there we woke up to this...

We spent almost two weeks in AB and SK visiting friends and family. Ezra was born two days before we left for Uganda so I had to wait 8 months to finally meet him...so worth the wait!

We travelled down to Outlook for a day to see Matt's Grandma. We were blessed to have to many family members travel to Lloyd to see us - fun to be able to catch up with so many people and share peices of our expiernce with them.

After our time at home we travelled back out to Abbotsford to set up house. We arrived in Abby on Friday and both started working on Monday morning. So we got possesion of our place, moved, bought grocerices and then started work - a bit of a crazy time:)

May 24 was our second anniversary! My wonderful husband surprised me by taking me for an overnight at Semiahmoo Resort in the states. It was a wonderful time at a beautiful resort right on the ocean!
I LOVE this man! Life is such a treat to be able to live it with him!

Since we have been home we have been borrowing my parents car as we searched for our own new wheels. We final found a wonderful little SUV for a great price. We are the proud new owners of a 2007 Jeep Compass!


It's a perfect little SUV for us. We bought it the night we were going to the Eagles concert in Vancvouer - so much excitement all in one day!

Otherwise we have been busy working and seeing so many wonderful people that we missed while we were away. It's good to be home, but we sure to miss Uganda:)
