2011 Year End Update

Summer 2011 Update
Kids from our family stop by at random moments during the day and we’ve had 90+ degree weather for over a week… it must be summertime!

September 2010 Update
In 23 days we will board a plane with the same 4 black foot lockers we came down with over a year ago. We will be heading back to Birmingham but our lives will look much different than they did before. For starters, Frank will remain on staff as a missionary with the organization we [...]

One year ago this month, we loaded our lives into 4 black footlockers and boarded a plane with our passports and one-way tickets to Nicaragua.
