One Year Mark!

Today we reach our one year mark of living in Guatemala!

Our time here has been very fruitful and we've grown a lot personally and professionally. Just looking back on previous blogs, it's pretty cool so see how much we have experienced in that amount of time. We'll definitely miss the community and all the friends we've made along the way. Unfortunately, now we're on the downhill side and heading towards finishing our projects and thinking about moving to the next adventure. Tsk tsk.


Since living here, Toby has been inspired and decided that he wants to pursue a law degree, so he can further impact the lives of others. This new motive has somewhat changed our original ideas and given us a more concrete timeframe for our work and travel plans. We anticipate working at Enlace Quiché until mid-May, we'll then head south to visit more of Central America. The plan is to see Honduras (we still need to visit the bay islands, after our September plans were delayed due to a hurricane), El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Our anticipated arrival back to Portland is around July 1st (give or take a few). We'll spend the month of July in Oregon before packing up and moving to our new home (TBD).


Just a reminder that there is still time to come and visit here in Guatemala or rendezvous with us along our Central American travels. We hope to see some friendly faces in our neck of the woods, but we understand it's not possible for everyone. Regardless, we're excited to see all our friends and family when we return this summer. We miss you all!
