What We're Doing and Where We've Been

Whenever I write a blog it doesn't seem nearly as interesting as Cory's. However, I will strive to keep this one interesting AND informative!

Looking backwards a bit - after the wedding in WV we headed to Colorado for a week at Estes Park. It was an awesome place to go for our honeymoon. We got to do lots of stuff from a 27-mile bike tour (downhill) through Rocky Mountain National Park to whitewater rafting on the Pouder River to go-karting (I won, by the way, and that rarely happens). We stopped in Kansas to see his family for about 5 days and were able to spend lots of time with them. His mom organized an open house while we were there so I got to meet lots of people Cory grew up with or has known for some time. We finished out our trip to America in West Virginia before returning to Guam.

We arrived back in Guam with no problems. What a blessing to have an uneventful flight back! We have been here about a week now and are preparing to have a wedding reception here Guam-style. Local food (chicken kelaguen, red rice, pig), all-natural decorations (bamboo, hibiscus, plumeria, woven palms), and very relaxed (come as you are)! We have quite a bit to do in the next couple of days, but it seems that most of our students will be coming with their families as well as church folks and staff friends. We are planning on 400 - but we have no idea how many we will really have. We are looking forward to celebrating with all our friends here.

By the end of the month we will be in Korea trying to settle in! We have our Visa's and will start shipping some of our stuff as soon as we can get an address to mail it to. It's going to cost my arms and at least one of Cory's legs, so we are going to re-pack and try to downsize AGAIN. (I'm smiling on the inside.) But, hey - it's just STUFF. And we all are guilty of having too much of that . . .
