Sarah: On the Cool List

For a while, I have had a dream. And that dream has finally come to fruition. I now have instagram (which also implies that I have an iphone). I have been a fan of instagram ever since I learned of it. Every time I was around Kels, I would always sneakily (that's a lie. I'm not a very sneaky person.) slide my hand into her pocket or purse to grab her phone, so that I could take pictures. I know that Kels just shared some of her instagrams yesterday, so I hope you guys aren't sick of them...because there are going to be lots more pretty soon! Here are some that I've taken so far:

My Plants by the window - it's a jungle

my anniversary gift to frank: an authentic manchester united
soccer jersey with his name on it. 

Our closet is OOC (out of control)
Not to be confused with OCD.

Frank and I finally feel like we're moving up in the world. I mean, getting an iphone is the epitome of adulthood in my book. Isn't it in yours? Who's in charge of the "cool list"? 'Cause we better be on it. F'sho.


p.s. Do you want to know something a w e s o m e? In the pursuit to make my instagram dreams come true, we got our iphone for FREE. That's right. free. Many thanks to the random IT guy at Judson : )

Sarah's Announcement

Hello friends! Francis and I have some news! I've been waiting for a couple weeks to share it on the blog because there's still so much we need to figure out before it actually happens, but...

More specifically, the San Diego area. And we are so excited!!!! As I said before, there are still a lot of (major) details that we need to figure out (like where we're going to live and where we're going to work), but we can hardly wait for the adventure to start!

We are hoping to have (most of) the details figured out before we leave for Uganda August 28th - which only gives us one more week - yikes!! And we hope to move pretty quickly after we get back on September 15th. We are going to pack up our stuff, load our cars, and drive across the country to our new home.

This is a major time of transition for us and there's such a mix of emotions going on. We're excited, nervous, anxious, did I mention excited? We're currently researching our butts off to find jobs, housing, a good neighborhood, etc. I even found my husband reading an article titled, "How to Live Out of Your Car Safely". We're hoping that it doesn't come down to that, but if it does at least we'll know the ins and outs of living in our cars! hahaha. So needless to say, we would really appreciate you sending your prayers and positive thoughts our way! Oh, and if you know anyone in the San Diego area that can help us out, let us know--we need all the help we can get!

p.s. The picture is not of San Diego. It's actually a picture of Hanauma Bay, Hawaii from 1996 that I took when I was in first grade.
