And Other Such NonSense

So Kristi & I met "officially" at NBBI back in 1999 but became the closest of friends while both living  and ministering in New York City back in 2001. During that time of  living in the "Projects" of CBF we scrapbooked by day, learned to drive Jays (her now husband) standard car, and began our love of baking. Probably the worst baking disaster known to man kind was a very conceited, cocky and heartfelt attempt at what turned out to be the worst tasting peanut butter cheesecake ever. I wish I had pictures of the  day this cheesecake was made so you culd see the sheer delight on our faces at how proud we were to be making that cake and then the after photos of how terrible it tasted. Oh Mercy. we still laugh at that now.. 10 years later. (wow... 10 years)

We have shared in a mountain of goodness  and a small heap of trials these last 10 years. For 7 of those years we lived in different countries or provinces wishing we were neighbours and here we are.. just a town away writting this blogg together. We have seen each other through weddings and a divorce, family deaths and sickness, the birth of her baby boy Jonah and the growth of my boy Silas. We've watched other friends come and go.. both been  through financial woes and have become what we would consider kindred spirits.
We share a love a Matlock, boardgames, coffee and the ocean. Please enjoy some pictures of us over these past 3 years.. and continue to read our blogg.

Cheers,








~Amanda
