I have never seen fencing in person. . . so I was pretty excited to be able to volunteer when this group came to teach about fencing at the kids’ school. Colt and Caden thought it was the greatest thing ever and obviously wanted to take lessons! haha. . . It was interesting the how […]
We had a fun cookout with the kids’ school this past weekend. It was perfect fall weather (which is rare for this city as it seems to ere on the too hot or too cold sides). We played games, at lots of food, and most people prepared little performances that we did around the bonfire. […]

We didn’t take vacation back to the States this summer. Instead, we asked my parents if they would be willing to meet us somewhere.
