1000 days ago on a hot (100+ degrees) and humid Saturday afternoon, Andrea and I (along with her dad who graciously helped us drive our rental truck across the country) pulled into the parking spot in front of the town house in Durham that has been our home for almost three years now.
In some ways it seemed like just one more stop and a continuation of the 9 month trip we had been on the previous year where we slept in 60+ beds as we wandered the world. We were excited and a little apprehensive not knowing what lay in store for us.
For Andrea it has been a busy, non-stop three years, with summer internships in Geneva (2010 working for the ILO) and Boston (2011 working for Fidelity) as well as our most recent time in Bangkok. Each of these excursions which have been recounted in various forms on this blog have their own stories of God’s provision, of reconnecting with old friends and making new friends.
Though at times it has been challenging and exhausting, Andrea has persevered and done well - her thesis is turned in and next Saturday and Sunday she will graduate with her MBA and a Master in Public Policy.
I have included a few photos from the past three years of the impending graduate!
