A few last things...

As the sun set on 2006 and 2007 began, so too came the next step of our journey...Dave is traveling back to Moshi, Tanzania for 3 weeks to continue working on The HOPE Project (http://hope.thryve.com), one of the many things that has come out of our time living there, while Cindy, Shay & Jadyn enjoy another few weeks in toasty North Idaho (5 degrees I believe was the last report). But before he went, there we a few things to attend to...

A kid-less night in Coeur d'Alene, enjoying the beauty of North Idaho & the always enjoyable Wine Cellar. 5 1/2 years from the day we said 'I DO'...and still running strong! Looking back at what's happened so far...we've lived in 9 different places across Idaho, Washington & Tanzania (East Africa)...owned 8 different vehicles...had 2 beautiful girls...snorkeled in 3 different ocenas (Pacific, Atlantic & Indian)...experienced 2 IronMan Triathlons...we can honestly say we have loved every minute of the journey. (Okay, so the cockroach in Cindy's ugali was borderline, but hey, it makes for a great lifelong story!) Through it all, one thing we know...[contrary to popular opinion] following Christ is definitely NOT boring.

And what would the new year be without a Seahawk home playoff game...together with the bros and pops...we watched the end of another Cowboys season...10 years without a playoff victory...must be rough! (Trust me, as a Hawk fan, I know!)



Cousins...together again. Not sure exactly who gave this gift to who, but they sure enjoyed opening it together! Shay has been more than excited to see and play with her cousin again. How life is changing...from growing up playing with my bros...to raising our kids together.
