February Photo Fail

By -
I wasn't sure if I wanted to do this photo challenge because I was afraid I wouldn't complete it. Well I didn't complete it but I lived to tell the tale and maybe next time I try a photo challenge I will complete it and then again maybe not. I will say this: it is so much easier to do a photo challenge when you have a camera phone. I cannot wait to have one again! I have missed out on so many awesome photos of day to day life in Mexico,  especially on walks around our neighborhood, because I don't have a camera phone. It's just not very convenient to take a camera with you everywhere. Also I should not have chosen to do a photo challenge in a month where Ender would be gone two weekends in a row. The second weekend he was gone was when this challenge went out the window. Anyways I do have a couple more photos to post since I took them.

day 6: dinner






day 7: button

This is the button to buzz our apartment



day 8: sun



day 9: front door



day 10: self portrait




day 11: makes you happy

This is one of our night time dance parties

day 12: inside your closet

Jacob loves to play in the closet, hence the empty milk cartons and his little hand
day 13: blue
This was our solution to keeping the sun out of our eyes in the morning since we didn't have enough money to buy curtains


day 14: heart



day 23: your shoes



day 28: money

pesos and dirty grout

2018 in Review

By Andrew -
2018 Year in Review (and a little of 2017 for context) We’re sorry we haven’t written a proper letter for a couple of years, and it has been even longer since we’ve mailed one, but sometimes life is so good we can’t think of things to brag about. Over the past few years we have accumulated sufficient news to rub in your faces, we’re reviving the tradition.   Early in 2017 Ender applied to 13 university counseling centers and was interviewed by 12. The only site that didn’t seem interested was the University of Utah proving once and for all that God does not want us to return to the holy land. Match day came and we got our first choice: Colorado State University in Fort Collins! That Summer we said goodbye to our home in Indiana and the great friends we made over the 4 years we lived there, Ender started his clinical internship, and Jacob started 1st grade in a brand new school.   In 2018 Jacob finished 1st grade and then started 2nd grade at the SAME SCHOOL. ...

Road to Ghana

There were two things about leaving Cape Town that were hard: 1) Getting back to work after 8 days off is always a bit of an adjustment, and this would be no exception, and 2) We would be leaving the temperate climate of South Africa and making our way back to the equator.  This leg of the trip had plenty of fun things scheduled that made it SUPER FUN:  First, and most certainly least: a lifeboat drill. It wouldn't be ship-life without the monthly drill. We are getting faster! There was also a wedding onboard!  Okay, not really, but a funny little joke spiraled into a full blown ceremony.  You see, one of the things you can sign up for when you are a staff, faculty, or life-long-learner is to host a "ship family."  This means that college students who are looking for "ship parents" can sign up and be matched with older adults to have an occasional "family dinner" and basically have some community outside of their peers if they want.  The "bride,...

Sea Olympics

 A crazy thing happened on the ship between Mozambique and South Africa:  Kim and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary!   We had tentative plans to have "fancy dinner" on the ship, in which you can order an expensive meal in the Four Seasons Restaurant, but as (bad) luck would have it, the restaurant was closed for mid-term exams on our anniversary.  So, we decided to get burgers and fries in the Chappy bar instead.  Another cool thing happening on the ship was the Sea Olympics, which took place the day after our anniversary.  The Sea Olympics are a HUGE ship wide event. Every voyager on the ship is assigned into a sea when they board according to where they are staying on the ship (I think). Each sea has a Residence Director (RD) who leads occasional meetings throughout the voyage. It's virtually the dorm of each student on this floating campus.  All adults (staff, faculty and Life Long Learners, children, and companions) are part of the Aeg...
