The Cove

Justin and I really enjoy watching documentary films. Tonight we watched the movie, The Cove--a movie shining light on the travesty that is dolphin capture and slaughter. After viewing the film, we are saddened--and to say it mildly, feel much differently about our experience in Grand Caymen where we were able to swim and interact with one of these beautiful creatures. We absolutely recommend you check this out--it might change the way you feel, too.

Here is a website about what's happening in a cove in Japan: www.takepart.com/thecove

Are you Lukewarm??

Justin and I watched this video tonight and it really caused us to think-and lead to a great discussion! Thanks for posting this Amy--you continue to inspire, motivate and challenge!! I encourage you to check out her blog :)

A few of our favorite moments

We had a FABULOUS time on our cruise last month! As promised, Justin fixed the camera--so here are some photos from the trip...a little out of chronological order--I think blogger could be a little bit more user-friendly :)

Justin LOVES relaxing in the sun :)

We made some great new friends from all over the world!

We are on our way to Florida!

Happy to be boarding the ship in just a few minutes!!

Update

I know, I know. I am literally the worst "blogger" of all time. The last post was Christmas, pathetic! If anyone out there is still interested in following this thing, you must really love us!

Things have been going pretty well. Justin has been really busy at work, sometimes spending 12+ hours a day at that place! It is a great thing that he enjoys his work so much, but boy his hours make for a tired husband each night! As I half type, half watch the Olympics, he's asleep on the couch :)

We took a leap of faith earlier this month as I quit my preschool job. I took a part time position in a local public school. My job is to work with 3-5th graders in a computer lab. As most of you know, I'm not exactly good with computers and "big kids" kind of scare me, but I'm handling both pretty well :) It feels so good to be back in a school! My hope is that getting my foot in the door will make it possible to score a full time position this fall! I am spending a lot of time in prayer regarding God's plan--I'm just excited to follow along! This is kind of a rant, but sometimes I feel like just going somewhere and doing what I can to help--Justin and I just talked tonight about heading to Haiti. If anyone is planning a missions trip abroad and would like a partner(s) let us know :)

Most of you are our Facebook friends and have seen our vacation pictures--I am sorry I can't add them here now--our camera is broken :( My handyman is going to see if he can fix it, so hopefully I'll be able to add some pics soon!
