One of the key parts of our entire trip to the States was our trip to Redding, CA to participate in a training retreat for couples as part of Bethel Church’s marriage ministry, Love After Marriage It was 5 intense days that included learning (experientially) how...
Santa Fe & Las Cruces New Mexico
Halfway to Las Cruces we stopped to spend the night in Santa Fe, New Mexico, home of some incredible art galleries and boutiques. Thankfully we did our tourist thing Monday morning. The weather was delightful and the traffic non-existant! Apparently a weekend visit is...
The Scenic Day
Sunday was our scenic day of driving from Denver to Santa Fe. I took so many pics that I put in this post that I had trouble uploading it from my phone! 😛 We started the day driving from our friends’ house through our old neighborhood haunts. The first stop was...
Open House & Ultimate Shopping
We had the treat to see a few people at our Denver open house. while the turnout wasn’t much the time quality time. Good to see you Penny, Steven and Erica! In the evening we went shopping! Denver has a shopping ‘nexus’ that surrounds Park Medows...

We arrived safe and sound with easy flights and fairly smooth connections. We’re blessed to be staying all together at a large, lovely and luxurious home of friends of my parents and sister from their church. Here are some pics from our cushy digs. Share this:...
Fête & Fahren
Yesterday we attended the end-of-year ‘fete’ (carnival) at Olivia’s school. We’ve done this for 8 years now. The big difference this year was that we (Angela and I) did not have any (planned) responsibilities. Not having to do any duty with...
