:D I've been lurking around on here since January posting a few times randomly and mostly gathering information. Now that I'm on Spring Break and don't have 24 kids constantly next to me and asking me questions, I have some time to post!!!

Hans and I met when I went to teach English in Peru in 2002. We were fast friends right away, and then I went home after a week. We kept in touch with phone calls and emails, and I went back for 2 weeks the next summer. We've been engaged since Jan. 12, 2005, and we are so ready to be together. After almost 4 years of being apart, we are ready to be together and married.

Both our families are very supportive of our relationship, and he has had no problems with anyone in his family being mad that he is moving here.

Well, that's us. If you want to know anything else, like for example, how monkey and guinea pig taste, let me know!

Nice to meet you and wishing you all the best on your journey.

Everything I respond to is from personal knowledge, research or experience and I am in no means a lawyer or do I claim to be one. Everyone should read, research and be responsible for your own journey.

welcome to vj

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).
