This year has been flying by. Jake and I are two weeks away from our Spring Break! The much needed break will finally be here and neither of us can wait.
The past few weeks have been filled with volleyball (both the Mariana's Cup for Beach Volleyball - which we watched not participated and the Kid's Cup the following weekend - which we coached three teams from our school in). Jake wrapped up the Science Fair at the beginning of March and that freed up alot of time for him. Then he finished up basketball which also freed up some more time. Now we are both done with huge school things that we have too much time! :)
So we are planning for Spring Break - we want to do something fun, maybe go somewhere but we're not sure yet. Any ideas?
Today we had a half day of school with the students and then the rest of the afternoon was used for planning. It felt good to just sit and get stuff done. You need those days every once in a while. Jake was also able to find a good website to stream March Madness through and that makes him just as happy. It's hard for the sports man to not have a T.V. somedays!
We keep busy with Math competitions that we help out with. Imagine that - me helping out at Math competitions - Mom and Dad you should be proud!!
Next weekend there is another Marriage Encounter weekend and we put a plug in at church last Sunday. We gave them our testimony and how it has been a huge blessing to our marriage and how we will be there to help out and support the new couples. Marriage Encounters is a big movement on the island and we are so happy to be a part of it. We moved on after our weekend and joined Steps. We were split into a group with three other couples from our weekend and have been meeting once a week to talk about these 10 Steps to help better our marriages. Our group has been amazing and has truly become our family. We have been so blessed through these meetings, steps and discussions that we continue to grow in our own marriage but friendships as well. We love them and can't wait to keep up meeting just for fun and fellowship. Thanks to Russ and Kanae for their leadership, as well as Jeff and Sonia. You are all amazing!
And so that's that. We are two weeks away with nothing too huge coming up. We have loved living in Saipan so far and know that the next two months of school will continue to bring blessings. Thank you God for this journey so far and glory to you in all we do!
We love you all and miss you.
Love
J & J
