Visit Maggie!

I found someone who had updated about us more recently than I had! Visit http://maggie-in-nizza.blogspot.com/ and scroll down a bit - there will be pictures of our visit in Nice, Southern France!
That was back at the beginning of July, though, so its still not much of an "update!" Now we are officially back into life in Calgary. We are both working, Kevin for the school and me at a wonderful store called La Vie En Rose. Classes start on Friday, and we're already busy with all our involvements at what is now called Amrose University College.

What we're up to

So we're busy packing and cleaning and have to be out of our place by Sunday! Our OnSite is officially over then, and we'll be traveling bums until we get a place in Calgary for August 1st. So if you don't hear from us in awhile, that will be why! On Tuesday we're going to Rome, Italy and then we'll visit Athens, Greece, and then we're heading to Nice, Southern France (where we'll get to hang out with Maggie!! YAY), and finally, we'll spend a few days in Barcelona, Spain before coming back here to Basel on July 9th! We're joining some church friends to a concert in Munich July 10th, and then we'll have a few days for some final things and last good-byes before we fly into Vancouver July 17th. I'm stoked and sad at the same time.
Then we'll be visiting all (or most) of you! Our awesome friends and family in various areas of Canada! I'll attach some pictures from some of the things from our lives in the past month, and this might be our last blog in a very long time!

YAY! Guests from Switzerland, Isabelle and Thomas - this was in Sichtwerk.

Abi, Ursi and Elias joined us the next day, this is in our house in Germany.

Stefan (Abi) and Ursi!

Kevin and I got our painting project in the G5 bathrooms finished! Hee, hee, they make me happy.

Me and Sarah are sooo cool!

Saturday night we had a youth girls "Beauty Night" after Big Games out at Xenia's! it turns out that Xenia lives in an old castle, so all the furniture and everything was antique. The stuff in this office, for example! And I just can't imagine having this 400 year old fire place in my living room!!

"Pampers"

We would really appreciate your prayers for our youth group right now. One of our guys, 19 years old, suffered a major asthma attack Thursday night and passed away. Everybody is pretty shook up, obviously. Some of his closer friends were the guys now leading youth, and so special prayer for strength for them would be good, and also for his parents.

thanks

here's us in berlin

This guy has an interesting job!

We weren't sure he was real til he took this cigarette break!
