2010… my year in review...

 Time is a weird thing.
Sometimes it seems to go by so incredibly fast.
Other times, it is incredibly slow.
I was thinking about the past year and realized that it was a mix of both.

I was fortunate enough to see an incredible amount of lovely people over the past year and so many sights.  2010 really was an incredible year...


January… A fabulous California training trip with the WC swim team, spent time in ministry recovering from Christmas crazies


February… WC Swimming had a great conference meet!, lots of activities with the kids in Touchet



March… High School youth group ski retreat, YAV interviews in Kentucky





April… Easter and my last visit to Bethel for school










May… Finished at the church, Graduated Seminary, said "see you later" to great friends





June… Drove 10,000 miles around the country – 12 states and 14 national parks


July… Continued adventuring, Lindsey and Andrew’s wedding, longer visits with friends, so much inner-tubing











August… Went to camp with Harbor Covenant kids and made great relationships there, visited the Oregon Coast with the Ruffs and Dalans, went on a family bike trip to the San Juans, YAV training, and Andrea/Paul’s wedding






August 30 – flew to Guatemala…

And the rest is a story in the making.


"The first task in approaching another people, another culture, another religion is to take off your shoes for the place we are approaching is Holy. Else we may find ourselves treading on people's dreams.  Worse, we may forget that God was there before our arrival (and will be there after our departure)"

Stories from everyday life in Guatemala will hopefully start appearing every Wednesday... i don't want to forget 2011 :)
