Daniel and I met through mission work in Bogota in January 2010. We had been introduced to each other via facebook 3 years before that. Neither of us had any idea at the time we were talking to the love of our lives. Its funny and incredible how God works things our for you. I go down to visit once a month, my job as a flight attendant allows me to do that timewise and financially. This past year has been the craziest, most stressful, and yet most wonderful year of my life. We are so close to the next part of this journey. I think this first part is the hardest because you are forced to spend this time apart from each other. Even though the next few years will continually be full of immigration non-sense, at least we will be facing it together everday. I know these harder times will make us appreciate being together even more. Thanks for the encouragement. We are so blessed.
