Where in the World are the Walsh's?

For those of you who have been wondering about where in the world we are, and what we have been up to, allow me to share!

After spending our first year of marriage in Nacogdoches, TX working with Campus Crusade for Christ, we decided to joining staff full time and continue to work for Crusade for the long-haul. We are super excited, and it has already been an awesome adventure. We got back a few weeks ago from our New Staff Training in Orlando, FL with Campus Crusade. Now, Vince and I are taking a few months back in the Allen/McKinney, TX area to spend some time building our ministry team that will sustain us for the years to come in ministry.
Although it is really hard to not be back at SFA for the start of the new semester, we have been really enjoying being back "home." Both Vince and I grew up in the area so it has been really nice to be near (or living with) family, and connecting with friends. Besides that there are stores other than just Walmart here... which I personally am loving, and Vince is hating.

We have been busy busy since we have been here! We have so loved getting together with our ministry partners from the past years, and hearing all about what is going on in their lives! We have been so blessed in getting to meet with them! Even though that is the majority of our time, we have been really enjoying a few other things around here. I have also been enjoying Wii Fit, swimming at the Natatorium, and taking Jonas, and occasionally Max, on long walks at Celebration Park (but I am so paranoid that keep my mace ready, even at 3 in the afternoon.) I just chopped off my ridiculously curly locks of hair and I am now sporting a new do- short, sleek (as long as its not raining) with sassy bangs. Totally different and I LOVE it! Vince has been working occasionally with his dad at their office supply company, and putting together and moving lots of furniture for new schools that are opening in about a week.


We both have been really enjoying the Olympics, and staying up waaayyy too late to catch it all. I find myself screaming and whooping at the TV, as if that really makes a difference, and just loving all of it. Vince keeps saying that the gymnastics "aren't really a sport" and wants to change the channel, but I eat it right up! Gymnastics and skiing are the only sports that I am good at, and I won't let him rain on my parade. But we, as with the rest of America, and likely the world, have been completely sucked in by the Olympics. What will happen in 2 days when its all done? Lets not go there.


Well I guess that is about it. We are in Allen. We are here for a number of months. We want to hang out before we head back to Nacogdoches (ie: the middle of no-where East Texas that even though we love, it will take 3+ hours to drive to get there...so see us while we are close!)


We are praying that this finds you doing well, enjoying your days, walking with the Lord, and enjoying His blessings!
