jumping on the bandwagon

Ok, so we're jumping on the bandwagon of personal blogs! After missing friends from Atlanta and being able to hear about friends lives thousands of miles away, we've decided to try another form of keeping in touch!

We're actually wrapping up school and classes this year. Andrew and I work for Campus Outreach and minister to students at Bethel University, a small private school just outside of the Twin Cities. So as we finish up our lives have finally begun to slow down a little! A few members of our staff team are leaving and we'll miss them: Colby and Lindsey, Brittany, and Karyn. They're going to Birmingham, and the girls are heading out to California- at least those are places we'd enjoy visiting :)Above is our "north area" staff team- Karyn is at the bottom left and Lindsey is to the left of her and Colby is in white. That's sweet little Ellie Jane in Lindsey's lap. Since this picture baby John has joined their precious fam!

Below is out entire staff team visiting Grand Marais northern Minn. It was beautiful! Notice the attire and it was early August- hard to believe after living in Atlanta for so long!!

This summer we're taking students to India which we're super excited about. Here's a picture of our team at the world prayer room at our church...We actually leave for Delhi in early July so that means we're way free in June. Andrew and I are heading down to Atlanta for a few weeks (woo hoo!) and we're planning a hiking trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota. It's wierd the places you go and the states that are in driving distance when you live in Minnesota. When I moved up here I had to relearn US geography. I mean growing up in Atlanta I had no idea which states borderes Minnesota. By the way Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota, as well as Canada (yep, we're THAT far north!!) border us. We're actually 30 min from Wisconsin and it's a quick trip to the Iowa border. Anyway, I felt ignorant when I moved here. Then again, people here are totally oblivious to Southern geography. They usually have no idea about the East coast.

So, check back for more about how we're doing and what we're up to!
