We are a family that loves to sing, dance, spend time with friends and try new things! We have been on an adventure together from Michigan, to Maryland to Brazil... and this blog is a peek into bits of our life.
Here we are at our favorite Maryland hangout: Brookside Gardens on Mother's Day 2009. We enjoyed being in Montgomery County. The weather was great, the parks impressive but the people there were our favorite part.
We moved from Michigan in June 2009 from Lansing, Michigan. There we had amazing friends (still have!!!), great jobs and a nice home... but we felt called to be somewhere else. It is hard to put into words, exactly what pulled us in the direction of the unknown and unpredictable. I can only say that our individual experiences as Peace Corps volunteers in Paraguay made a tremendous impression on our lives and our perception of the world. When Chris discovered openings within the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) he applied to be a Program Officer within the Agency. Almost two years later (exciting, emotional and challenging ones at that) we have landed at our first post in Brazil.
We are creating this blog to share our experiences and thoughts with our family, friends, and any others that may be interested. As such, the thoughts and opinions expressed within it are ours, and ours alone. They do not represent any sort of official policy of USAID or of any government agency.
