misc. updates

[y] so i see it's been a while since our last post. well lots of blog-worthy stuff has happened in the past few weeks so here's our update!

Bolivia: thankfully, we have raised enough financial support to go to Bolivia! we're leaving in 2 weeks!! please continue to pray for our preparation...that daily, we would learn to work and communicate well together as husband and wife and be open to how the spirit may lead us in Bolivia.

- jen and phil: congrats to mr. and mrs. phil and jennifer chii! they were married in arlington last saturday. finally...after about 9 years of dating!

- Boise: last week, i went to boise, idaho for the first time in my life. had to go there for work...just a one day trip. random fact: gordon has actually been to 46 out of the 48 continental U.S. states and idaho is one of the ones that he hasn't visited...

jeannie and fernando: they're getting married this saturday!! i just finished their slideshow and it only took 1.5 days to put together! that's because they were so organized in labeling their pictures and providing all the music and stuff that i needed! yay jeannie and fernando!

- Maui: southwest airlines just recently started allowing you to use your free tickets to go to hawaii!! through their partnership with ATA airlines, we can use 2 round trip free tickets to go to hawaii! so we spontaneously booked 2 tickets to maui from dec. 24-jan. 2 (courtesy of 4 free tickets i had accumulated from my traveling days). we're excited about it because hawaii was first on our list of places to go for our honeymoon, but went to the caribbean instead. we're having a difficult time finding a place to live, though...because apparently maui is a popular place to go over christmas! if you've been to maui, tell us about the places that we should go to!!
