New chapter

Packing up and leaving my bunk bed world and 10 roommates with some sadness

but also extreme excitement. No offense house mates. :)

Daily life

Snap shots of what I do on a daily basis.

Weeding this lovely man's front yard

More scrubbing. Believe it or not, bathroom's

are my favorite to clean.

Lots of organizing

Taking apart a bunk bed and moving in a proper bed

for an 80 year old lady who is tired of the bunk bed.

Fair enough. :)

Hop Swiss!

Jo and I were just about to go watch the Swiss game at a friends place. Switzerland played against Spain and won!!! It was an amazing match. You can't tell but I was also wearing Swiss socks as well.

Sweet times in Sydney.

Fall in Sydney. I hadn't seen fall colors in 4 years, how refreshing it was to see them

Jo and I had a great 4 days together in Sydney after meeting there in order to sign wedding documents in person at the Swiss consulate.

Seasons of life

Ahhh!! I miss this man. Yes, he is in India helping with a health care seminar for four weeks. He than goes on to Mexico City for 7 weeks! We occasionally get to talk on the phone but usually it's a text.
Wedding plans are coming along. Please pray that we would find an outside location where we could have our reception. This is something both Joel and I would really like.
I am keeping busy with the ministry I serve helping families in crises. At the moment we are looking after three families that have twins with also two other children as well. It's good fun but you also see how much of a challenge it is for mom, dad and the other siblings.

Engaged!

We are engaged! See the picture with us on the tandem bike? Well, little did I know that he would be asking me to marry him a the end of that jetty shortly after taking that picture. How did he ask me? He gave me a ball of twine which he said had 24 knots and his had 28. The object of the competition was to see who would get to the end the fastest with taking all the knots apart. As I got closer to the end I began to see this beautiful shiny ring. He than turned to me and asked me to marry him, in French. After being shocked and speechless for awhile I said yes! I still am in shock and blessed that this incredible man chose me to be his wife. We plan to get married at the end of July in Switzerland!

Breakfast at the beach

This morning some friends of mine went to have breakfast at the beach. The beautiful thing about Australia is that they have these BBQ's everywhere all ready to go. You just have to press a button and you have heat to cook whatever you want. We cooked bacon, eggs and pancakes on that thing. We then played a bit of volleyball to work it off. Even though we were near the beach we didn't go in the water. I know we are crazy.
