Well, it’s official. For better, for worse, for richer, and for poorer, my baby brother is a married man. Josh and Jill’s wedding was last night, and since Fred and I couldn’t be in the States for the wedding, we found another way to participate in the festivities… Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Lundberg!

I realize it has actually been longer than a month, but it sounds nicer that way. Not only does it minimize my absence, but it also takes advantage of alliteration (yes, the English teacher is back in her element).

The last question on Fred’s application (which we filled out months ago when we first made the appointment) asked if Fred was related to or engaged to anyone living in the U.S. We paused in our progress, recognizing what such an answer could [...]

Aren’t you glad God never makes mistakes. He never misspeaks. He never misunderstands. So while we humans struggle with such fallacies from time to time, He doesn’t.

That’s right! I’m home for Christmas – actually, I’m home because my visa expired, but it will be a treat to spend the holidays with my family nonetheless. As for the cold weather, well, I’ll take it (do I have a choice?) but it’s more of a trial than a treat. Most of you know that my [...]
