Home...

We are doing great...recovering from our long flights back home, and settling in nicely. Our house was still in one piece with no bugs surprisingly. Jeff is golfing more now that he isn't working weekends and i'm keeping busy with the girls in the neighbourhood. I'm heading to Jakarta with some ladies from church for a Women's Retreat Feb 9 - 10. It will be my first time there and i'm really looking forward to it...For all of you who are wondering....

Surprise!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Well if you don't know already, Jeff and I made it home for Christmas as a last minute surprise to our family. It was nice to get away and recharge, always hard to leave of course, life is much easier in Canada. It was nice to see everyone we did get to see...we definitely know we won't be over here for 3 years, our family is way to important to us and life is much too short!

If we didn't get a chance to see you, accept our apologizes. One of our main purposes for the trip was to plan our wedding...and we actually managed to accomplish it all, in one week. In the week we also got engagement pictures taken with Alan, the photographer who will be capturing our big day for us. I have posted some of the pictures below and he did an amazing job if I do

say so myself, they are gorgeous...

I will be posting more pictures of the new house and our life around Balikpapan once we finish our trek home tomorrow!!
