The Future Chess Master in Action!
Here is Holton, facing a cute little opponent at his Chess Tournament on Wednesday. He loves the game and got to skip school all day for this! He won 4.5 games out of 6, we are very proud of him. This is the 3rd semester that he has participated in the Pacific Pines Primary School Chess Club and he plans to stay in as long as they will have him.
Welcome to our blog. We are happy to share all of our adventures with you.
Robert, Amy & Holton in Australia
The three of us are approaching our 1 year anniversary of moving to Australia, and we couldn't be happier. Holton is doing well in school and is looking forward to seeing the nation's capitol in a few months with his classmates. Robert is making positive changes at his job and completing college courses at night. I am working as an ICU RN and taking classes fulltime during the day to get my Masters Degree in Nursing. We grow closer as a family everyday and are making the most of this opportunity. We are proof that if you find yourself in unfamiliar surroundings, stick close to your family and do not be afraid to try something different and GREAT things will come your way. We do miss our family back home but we just LOVE living in Australia. Thanks to everyone that offered support. We love you all.
Love is Matching Tattoos :) Rob n I had these done in San Diego, California the week after we were married. It was my first tattoo and I was so excited! Mine is Robert's name in tribal print with his US Army rank (Command Sergeant Major) underneath. Robert chose my first and middle name with the nursing sign, in honor of my career. It was a huge commitment, just like marrying eachother, and we love them!
