My brother and sister




Today is my 5th month in the states, I miss my family especially my brother and sister. They are very talented and they are participating in the church ministry. Leah Mae is the youngest girl in the family and graduating in Entomology, and Stephen is taking nursing (they are the only singles in the family) These photos were taken on our farm during the 2007 Christmas party.

our 2nd month Anniversary

It's our 2nd month Anniversary today... My hubby and I are very much opposites, but God is a good matchmaker. I learned that as a married couple communication and respect are very important. We are both learning a lot from each other. Thank God for being so faithful and always in control.
