Last Saturday

Last Saturday we went with Pillar to the National Zoo. To add to the excitement, we picked up a "gorilla" who was holding a sign "Take me to the zoo." Ruthe Clifton hid under the bus, Darcy wrapped her legs tightly around me, and Haley Jane said, "Hey, my daddy has that mask!" When the gorilla got on the bus, however, Haley Jane was not so sure.It was a good day seeing many animals and enjoying fine company. Right at 2:00 (the time we were told to meet at the entrance to leave), the heavens Read More

Yesterday, May 18th, was my 28th birthday and the Marine Corps Historic Half Marathon in Fredericksburg. When I heard about this event last winter, I really wanted to participate, but Colby (the wise man that he is), counseled me not to. He knows that I am very competitive and intense and if I tried to train for a half-marathon, I would stress myself out. He thought that being in grad school was enough work for this spring. Maybe some day I'll learn how to cope with my perfectionism. Last Read More

Hvað heitir þu?

I realized yesterday when I was talking to my mom and she asked the big question that not everyone has heard the official news yet: Yes, we received a letter from the IMB when we arrived home from Boston and we have been approved to be missionaries to Iceland. So now it has been confirmed and we are getting serious about renting our house and applying for a VISA. Today I also made a decision to start teaching Haley and Darcy Icelandic. I have been fighting this for a long time. Instead of Read More
