World Traveling

Well Tyler and I head out to South Africa tonight. We will be working with a missionary family, the Embrees, which our church supports in South Africa for a few weeks with a team of 6 other people. While there we will be running some children's ministry programs and encouraging/supporting the Embrees.

Our travels don't stop there however, from South Africa Tyler and I head out to London to visit Jessi, Tyelr's older sister, for 5 days. After London we fly to LA to visit my Grandparents for one day (and i get to see my mom who will be down there at the same time) and then it's back home to Anchorage.

Please remember to keep us in your prayers as we minister in South Africa and for travel safety as our team flies down and as Tyler and I depart for the second half of our trip.
Come back to see pictures and updates on our trip when we return.

See ya'll in 3 weeks!

We love our pup

Yawkey is the newest addition to our home. We have had him for several weeks and are having a blast playing with a puppy every day. We are happy to say that he is almost fully house trained (just a few "presents" are left every so often to remind us that he is still a puppy).

Thankfully Yawkey is great around people, children and other dogs. With everyone in Tyler's family having animals it was important that we got one that would get along with others.

He has occupied all our spare time and loves to play from the time we get home until he falls over with exaustion.


You may notice a trend in our circile of frinds if you ever come up and visit. Once we decided to get Yawkey the Payne's and the Slaymaker's decided to get a Boston Terrier as well. So there are lots of new puppies running around when we all get together.

Camping this summer with them should be fun and intersting.
