fear the religion and avoid the people,

This is happening....

High School, 1995
My favorite history teacher/advisor in college sat me down a few days before graduation and asked me what I had in store with my future...she wasn't asking about my career, the type of car I wanted to drive, or the house I would live in ...just what I wanted in life. 
I told her that more than anything I wanted to see this world, to travel as much as possible.  I'll never forget her response to my comment, she said "moss does not grow on a rolling stone Natalie, promise me that you will always strive for bigger and better things."

It is incredibly hard to leave our family and friends but this is an experience that will remain with us for the rest of our lives.  I know there are so many things that we will learn on this adventure.  The very first thing we have learned  is that anything is possible as long as you have the support of your family and friends.  And although we will see new and exciting places and experience new and exciting things, nothing nor nowhere will ever compare to home.

Please join us as we start our journey towards our "bigger and better"
