flat stanley.

please meet our friend stanley, flat stanley.

we loved having him dearly, 

but unfortunately he was just here on vacation.

canoeing down the delaware.

Being a seminary teacher sure has had it's perks. Saturday morning, Todd and I met up with over 100 youth in the stake and rode two buses up to the Delaware Water Gap {located on the border of New Jersey and Pennsylvania}.

After launch, we rode for an hour and a half, stopped for lunch, then paddled for another hour. The weather was overcast and cool; perfect for a day of rowing. It's now the day after and I'm sure feeling the burn!

site of launch. isn't it just beautiful!?

big smiles for making it out dry!

A toast to our new life.

The tickets are bought and down-payments made, so it only seems fitting to start documenting our newfound adventures. Let's raise our glasses to crazy subway stories, longboard rides through Central Park, exhausting work hours, lots of love, and three years of fun in the Big Apple!
