Our Wedding

We just received our wedding pictures back and their almost as beautiful as the actual day. Here is a little sneak peek.

Our Honeymoon

That's You- SS as in Sam- E as in Edward- F as in Frank

It has been a while since we last posted the details of our life... I guess we should start by announcing that we are both officially Youssefs, although Josh occasionally refers to me as a Bluster. We were blessed to have an amazing wedding and a restful honeymoon. Thank you to all of our friends who were there to cheer us on through it all. We are currently in the midst of making our little bungalow a home. I pray all is well with you. There will be more posts shortly...

A break from the grind

Jonathan and I were working out of our Sydney office this month. Jonny has actually been down here for more than a month working on our Australia website as well as a couple of vendor issues. I decided to go the long way around to Dubai and take care of a few things in Sydney and in Hong Kong before joining the rest of our group in the Emirates.

I used to travel by myself and as a single man and I would focus all my attention on work and never the environment around me. I think I am the only person who travels to Egypt every year and has yet to see the Pyramids or film in China for two weeks and not see the Forbidden City or the Great Wall.

And so this time I have I actually taken the time to enjoy something as simple as surfing (not so simple). Sometimes it takes a companion to force you to do the things you really ought to do in an effort to keep you from losing your mind.

It made my work and the trip so much more enjoyable!

This is the first trip where, as I travel, I am always thinking..."I bet Em would like that"
..."I wish Em could see this"

I remember asking my sister, Sarah, once about how she felt when she was away from her husband who often goes on long business trips. She said it was like something just "wasn't right". I think I know what she meant....

Birthdays....

September was full of birthday fun...celebrating birthdays is even better when you can celebrate with two families. Thanks Tash for all of the birthday cakes you have made in the past couple months...they were fabulous!I am also proud to say that we have successfully finished most of our registering, which made for an very eventful day,and we have also finished our engagement pictures. As of now Josh is traveling around the world for the ministry and I have been busy catching up with work,school, and friends.It seems that things are finally slowing down, but there is still much to look forward to.

We have a when and where....
