enjoying friends from southern Oregon 🙂 We arrived in Seattle on Sunday evening, tired, but very thankful and nostalgic… we thought back on our road trips- We’ve made 8 cross-country road trips in the last 4 years. That is +/- 16,800 miles! We’ve had a total of 0 accidents, 0 breakdowns, 1 trip to Les […]

Finally, the amazing sights and smells of the beautiful PNW! As we left the (stinky) Salt Lake City area, the sun peeked over the hills (do they call those ‘mountains’? Not sure… hehe). After we all recovered from our “great” (?) salt lake-induced nausea (oh my!), we had an uneventful drive across the salt flats, […]

On Tuesday we drove up into the beautiful Rocky Mountains! We had a good, full two weeks in Colorado, enjoying relatives, seeing friends and making new friends, and worshiping our Lord with them at their churches. I also completed my preliminary Cherokee Linguistic write-up. Oh and by preliminary, I mean PREEEEEE-liminary. 🙂 I’m thankful for the […]

the girls enjoying time with their Tia Celia and cousins Day 1 is slightly deceiving as we did spend a few days in eastern Washington with Noe’s sister and family. We really enjoyed our time there, reconnecting and enjoying the BEAUTIFUL scenery 🙂 The girls had a blast with their cousin as well. (majesty) the […]

If I could describe this trip in one word: Ineffable :    “Too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words.” But I’ll try my best to walk you through my trip! The guys and I, including Paul- a friend and representative from […]

Ready for the 2100 mile trip! At the finish line! 🙂 Well, maybe we’re not sleepless, but definitely lacking some zzzz’s and still functioning in the Central time zone! After a drizzly 8-hour (actually 10 with the 2 hour traffic delay coming into the Cascades!) drive, we arrived safely in Seattle on Monday night in […]

Checking in once again from the looooooong and winding road 🙂 Yesterday we drove only about 6 hours, from South Dakota to Gillette, Wyoming. We stayed at our ‘favorite’ hotel… it has a fantastic indoor water park which our girls just LOVED last year, and again this year. Any road trip is better with Starbucks, […]

Well, we made it out of Missouri! Linguistics is over until the Cherokee practicum this fall. We packed, cleaned, and yesterday we moved out of our apartment. It was a little bittersweet… it has been many years since we initially desired to receive NTM’s training. And now (hindsight often feels like the mere blink of […]
