It's our 4th!

Today is July 17th...our 4th anniversary. As we look back over the last 4 years, it has truly been an adventure.

Year 1 -- after marriage, we lived in Abbotsford where Chris worked at Trinity Western University and I worked at Blessings Christian Marketplace.

Year 2 -- We moved to Belize, Central America where Chris and I both taught in a school. It was an amazing opportunity being in Central America. We learned so much during that year.

Year 3 -- Cory continued to help out in the Linda Vista School of Blue Creek, Belize, and tutor on the side while Chris did contract work for an internet company in Canada, helped with preaching in a Spanish Church in San Felipe, and planted trees.

Year 4 -- We moved back to Canada. Shortly after our arrive in Kelowna, BC we discovered we were expecting. Cory has worked for Club Penguin (www.clubpenguin.com) as a Player Service Representative over the last year and Chris has worked for them as a programmer. The company was sold to Walt Disney in August 2007. The sale has proven to be a positive move as Club Penguin has continued to be the positive place it has always been for the kids who enjoy the site and for employees who work there.

Now Cory is on maternity leave and is enjoying being able to spend time helping Mikaya grow and develop. What an awesome job! We are so thankful that the government allows for an entire year for a woman to be home with a child to do this. And Mikaya sure is a sweetie!

Mickey has recently learned how to flipped over! (I think she drools in her sleep).

Is that fair? -- the two of them against the one of me?

So where have we come from?

"You have made known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand."
