We're not dead and no one has malaria...yet...

So you may be wondering why it's been a few weeks since we blogged about anything...well we haven't even had time to think lately...

Briefly, here's what we've been up to:

01/16 - 10 PM - I finally arrived in US...in FL to spend a few days with Mom & Dad before hitting the ground running in Nashville...

01/20 - Noon - Back in the saddle...well Nashville at least, and back to work.

01/21 - 01/28 - Working tirelessly to get all of our Global Support accounting up-to-date...not a fun job...especially when we had a deadline to get our giving statements in the mail by 01/31.

01/29 - Drove down to Biloxi, MS for a Second Avenue Trade show.

01/30 - Second Ave Trade Show

01/31 - Drove back to Nashville...made it home to see Travis, as he returned from Africa

02/01 - 02/04 - Trying our hardest to pull off our Nashville "This Is Love" Banquet! Also working on some cool new vid's...they'll be on the web soon!

02/05 - 10 AM - This is Love Setup

7 -10:30 PM - Nashville "This Is Love" Banquet

10:30 PM - 12 AM - This is Love Tear Down

02/06 - 02/08 - Running errands and hanging with the coolest Australian you'll ever meet.

02/09 - Drove to Mississippi to get ready for Biloxi "This Is Love" Banquet

02/10 - Biloxi "This Is Love" Banquet

02/11 - Day Off (FINALLY! but i did have a migraine most of the day, not cool)

02/12 - Mobile "This Is Love" Banquet

Right Now - writing blog...so people don't think we're dead.

So that's pretty much it...we've been sending pics via twitter if you wanna see some photos of the banquets...you can also check out our Global Support Mission Facebook page...

We'll definitely be keeping the blog more up to date now that we have time to be sane human beings.

Also, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who had any part to play in making the "This Is Love" Banquets a success. All three banquets, Nashville, Biloxi, and Mobile, were great and we could not have done it without you!

A Quick Blog

We are doing great and at the end of our trip. It's sad to be leaving, but I'm also super excited about getting back to the US and getting to work at home.... so so much to do!

The last few weeks have been amazing... but I don't have much time to go into details.

I haven't been able to post as many blogs as I would have liked... but I'll try and catch up. I have about 7 minutes to get this one up.... so hopefully it makes sense.

A picture is worth a thousand words... so I'm going to share a few pic's... they are from about two weeks ago. I will post another blog ASAP that has more recent photos.

Here you go!


Motorcycle training... gotta start them off young!


Doing an interview with a friend of mine who was suffering from Malaria.

Some serious rope burn on the chest... and no I didn't make it across.
