Life

In my next post, I'll give some more details about what I've been up to for, oh, the last 12 months or so - since I fell off the face of blogger.... but today thought I'd post some pics of what life's looking like for Dan and I these days and write a little bit about that. Wow, so many changes have been happening! In some ways I've been coping well, in others, I've been a mess.... but we're surviving and life's been really good lately.

I'm back at the job I had last year, working with people with disabilities, and I love it! I really do love going to work and find that I'm feeling more confident all the time with my work. Also, I'm studying disability one day a week, and that's been really good so far! Working with these kinds of people makes me so happy, it's such a big part of who I am - it's great!

Dan's studying Mental Health and also planning on doing support work - he has been in the disability field as well, and is now looking for other avenues. It's been really cool, and a bit of a pleasant surprise, that we're both in the same field and can bounce ideas and experiences off of each other. He's great. :)

So.... here's what we've been up to, other than that....



Fixing up the house



New bed


Rock climbing for Dan's bday


Riding our tandem bike!



There's a better view of the bike - and Oma checking it out :)




So, that's the latest - life's good!

Back to blogging!

Well hello there, it's been quite a while since I blogged. I used to keep people up to date with what I was up to when I was involved with Missions and YWAM, but hadn't been updating much in probably the last year or so.... plus once I wasn't in YWAM anymore I thought I didn't have much to blog about. BUT, I've talked to quite a few people who said they'd been following my blog over the months (surprise!) and I figured since I have friends and family all over the place I'd try to get back into it so people could see what I'm up to. So, I'll keep you up to date, posting about being married, work, living in Adelaide, life.... hope you enjoy!

Well, since I've been in touch with different people to different degrees (and not in touch with others!), here are a few photo highlights of the last 12 months or so.....




July 2009 - Fell in love!















Oct 2009 - took a team of YWAMers to rural Victoria to speak at churches and schools, one of my last big YWAM things






















Nov 2009 - Engaged!


















Jan 2010 - Took a great trip to MN to get married, spent lots of time with my family and Dan got to know them














February 2009 - Took a trip to Chicago to see Kristina and Audrey (from my DTS). It was great to catch up with them and see Chicago!



































March 6, 2010 - Got married to my love, Daniel Anear, in Minnesota with lots of amazing people who came from all over the place. We were very blessed and had an amazing day!




March 2010 - Returned to Adelaide and started setting up our life here.


That's an overview, I'll do some more posts more in-depth about a few of our adventures, and definitely post some more wedding photos!

Thanks for reading!
