This is Amanda!

Matthew and I were married at 11:15 am last Saturday!

We've just gotten back from honeymooning in Sandusky and Cleveland. We went to Cedar Point, Kalahari, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

We had a really good time and it was very eventful! Now we are settling into our temp condo for the next couple months.

We are almost through visa things which is a relief!

It's really nice to get back for memorial day weekend because we can kick back for a while now before matthew has to go back to work!

Please continue to pray and we will continue to update!

Super Fast Update!

So I'm sitting here at work in the library with a little downtime on my hands as I print off a big list of articles, and I decided I would quickly write a few lines. In case anyone forgot (or didn't know), our wedding is this Saturday. As in three days from now. Thats very soon :-) Everything is coming together very nicely and I don't feel stressed or worried or nervous. Even if something goes terribly wrong with the ceremony, at least people will remember it and we'll all have a good laugh about it later.

On the Russia front, we're in the middle of visa applications! That means we have been doing things like getting HIV tests, passport photos, and a whole stack of documents ready to send in along with our application forms. This is one of the great pleasures of going abroad, but we are very grateful to have great people to work with at IA and World Partners to help us through the forms and steps.

I'm sure we'll have some photos and things from the wedding in a few weeks after we get back from scenic Ohio for the honeymoon:-)

Neil gaiman latte!

In case you do not know, I am mildly obsessed with Neil Gaiman's works.

So when I found out there was a coffee shop with a latte in his name only 30 min from my home, of course I had to go get one!

So that was my pilgrimage today. It was good: cinnamon, expresso, honey, raw sugar, and milk.

I had to get it iced since it was so hot out but I hope to try it again hot!
