Speaking of Birthdays...

My birthday was just last week on the 15th and it was the first one spent with my Marshall family! We had a wonderful birthday celebration, complete with birthday hats and a pumpkin cake... it was a very happy occasion!


Dad won the award for best hat!

Dear Friends

We had a wonderful last month in Roanoke and spent lots of quality time with our friends! Of all the things in Roanoke, we will miss you the most! I got a few good pictures of some of you before going... but not every one! So here's a few from our going away gatherings!



This here is a glimpse into some of the best that Roanoke has to offer! This was a fairly regular scene at the Haggerty house - great people gathered together to share delicious food, laughter, conversation, and libation!


Rebecca!


Jason!


Sandra!


Lloyd and Catherine!


Ingrid, how did I not get a picture of us? Well, I had to borrow this one that Caleb took from your facebook page... I was going to see if there was some way I could delete your name from your face, but then I thought it kind of added to the humorous direction the picture was already headed (thanks Greg:)


Robert and Angela!


Christine and Chris!

We love you guys!

Moving Day

On the day we moved out of Roanoke we were blessed with the most magnificent double rainbow ever! It was HUGE! (The second one is a bit hard to see here). What a great sign!


Goodbye little house, we'll miss you!

Welcome!

Friends, family and visitors, WELCOME! As most of you know, Ken and I are about to move to Busan, South Korea for the next year! We thought this blog would be a great way to document our experience and keep everybody updated. I must confess, I feel a bit rusty with my writing and it's quite intimidating knowing that we could potentially have many eyes reading each entry posted... I've procrastinated creating this blog for a while due to this very factor and finally, I've decided I just have to let that fear go! The purpose of this is to keep all of our loved ones included in our lives and not to impress you with poetic or beautiful writing or deep and dynamic thoughts!! If some exceptionally nice writing pops out every once in a while then we'll consider that a bonus - but if that were the standard then we'd never have any posts!! (Much like life - if we only shared it with others when we were at the top of our game, then we would be very, very lonely! I have been guilty of this too.) So... that being said, welcome to our adventure and please visit often!
