Beginnings

David has a way of freaking me out.  Our relationship has been defined by what I like to call "David's crazy questions."  He sits me down, orders me coffee, and then pops bold questions that usually make me need to call a girlfriend as soon as possible.  How do you feel about moving to Africa?  What do you think about taking PEC with me?  How about working at ALA?  Last Tuesday he proposed creating a blog together.  I know, I know, its not quite as crazy as moving to Africa, but still, its significant.  So here we are, David and Hannah, actually together on the same continent, blogging together.

It's funny how things work out.  It was just about a year ago that David and I started writing emails back and forth.  I had definitely "noticed" him in Uganda and found it odd just how much we had in common.  I guess I never thought that we would actually keep in touch after that trip.  I still remember getting his first email about "church recommendations in Colorado" for one of his ALA students.  Being a girl, my friend Beth and I analyzed what the email meant over a long skype call.  Beth told me, "Hannah, he didn't write ME an email and I actually live in Colorado."   That email followed many...and here I am now..actually in Africa..working at the same school...sitting next to this handsome fellow.  

God works in crazy ways.
