Fall Cleaning

With this time of year, lots of leaves are falling and it's time to bring out the camera for some fall tidying in the front yard!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all Americans, in and out of the country!

Prayers Needed

Please pray for Ryan. He broke his arm a while ago in three places and the bone was practically out of his skin. He just got a sort-of cast on it and needs all of our prayers.

The Muddy Buddy

Kellie just did the Muddy Buddy race in Texas which is basically running and biking a super hard course and doing obstacles on the way. The last obstacle is a huge mud pit that you have to crawl through with your 'Buddy' and you end up 'Muddy' (hence, the name). Anyways, here are some pictures from their race:

The Before Shot:

crawling through the mud!

-we moved back to America

-and bought a house (right down the street from our old house, go figure...)

-i started highschool!! (freshman! aaah, yeah)

-we're currently waiting to go to Spring Creek Barbeque (sp?) but we're delayed because of the Dallas Cowboy game... *sigh*



that's the big stuff that's happened, and there's tons and TONS of little stuff that would be crazily long to write out. my awesome highschool's first home football game is next Friday! (woo! go jp2!!) wish us luck!


and i PROMISE, pictures will be coming! not necessarily super soon, but they will be here within the month.

Our cyclos and the way we got around Ha Noi

The restaurant we went to on our first night in Ha Noi. It's been serving the same dish for over 100 years. We ate this fish called Chaka with noodles and green leafy stuff and lots of oil. It was really really good! Me in my Vietnam gear; it was a 'picture perfect moment' according to mom
