Time enough!

Hi family and friends!

I can't believe I have managed to go this long without posting a blog! It is always something on my 'to do' list, but somehow the immediate needs of my job and my body seem to take precedence! (Yes, imagine that... I prioritise eating, sleeping, running, etc., over spending time on the Internet).

Ryan and I are always thinking about (and praying for) all of our loved ones back in the US (or in other locales, such as Katrina's brother, Olav, who is currently studying abroad in Paris!) but we don't seem to translate the thoughts into actions.

Thankfully, we will see many of you in a few weeks time when we return to Fairfax, Va, and Cary, NC, for Ryan's Dad's joyful wedding. This will allow us to catch up in person, and for us to share some of the stories that haven't made it into the blogging sphere... but I know still many of you will not get the chance to visit with us, so I promise I will try my best to give you some satisfying stories between now and my departure in two weeks time.

Also, many of you may notice that we have added some new pictures (finally!!!!) so you can visualise our world a little better (and see more of our beautiful faces- in case you don't remember what we look like!). These date from several months ago to just the other week, which explains our slightly different looks. Those pictures of both Ryan and I were taken by either my Mom or my sister, Corie, while they were visiting in late December/early January (Thanks guys-- it's hard when you are a couple to get many pictures of yourselves!).

I hope these next posts will help to update you on our lives and mission here in Hong Kong.

Peace and love to all of you in this Easter season,

Katrina and Ryan (in the kitchen, making brown rice milk from scratch- what a man!)
