Transfer of Sights

So on to new beginnings and new screen names! I've changed over to a different e-mail addy and therefore have changed over my blog as well. I figured licialene didn't roll off the tongue so easily and wouldn't be the greatest e-mail to give to an employer.
As I hadn't updated the other sight in quite a while I'll fill you in a bit on what has been going on in the Marshall's lives as of late.
Naphtali and I just hit our 1 year anniversary but weren't really able to celebrate it since it was right during Graduation Weekend. My parents were able to come down and stay with us for a week which was marvelous! My mom made dinner most nights and she did a lot of cleaning and dish washing and general tiding up which was so nice because I was going a bit crazy with all the things I had to do.
Naphtali and I also just recently got tickets to Chile! We will be there for about two months. We have yet to get our return tickets but that is part of the fun and mystery of it all! We actually were blessed hard core by his parents who let us just transfer some of our miles over to them and then they got the tickets with their miles. We will get the return tickets when we get to Chile as it will be off season there so it will require less miles. This is especially exciting for me as I have yet to see any of that part of Naphtali's life from Chile. I'll get to stay in his home (probably even his bedroom ;-)) , meet his friends, see his hang out places and just experience his life. It's going to be great! His parents are also in the process of starting yet another church with a lot of recently married couples so that will be really fun to have a hand in a bit. Naphtali and I have both been really craving some major ministry investing time!
To that end we were able to hang out this weekend with new and old friends that we do our international trips with. Naph went to Spain a little over 2 months ago now and all the leaders from our area were able to get together and have a little hang out time and a debriefing of how the trip went.
It was so fun to meet new people and establish good solid relationships with other Christian couples who are around the same phase of life as we are. It was also awesome to work through different issues and visions that we all share together for this ministry we've been working with over the past 3 years. More on that in a later post.

SO the long and the short of it is that I've graduated college, we're going to Chile for 2 months and Naphtali's job is starting to take off. He is doing free lance work as a web, print and and other multimedia designer. It's all work from home and it's terrifying and exciting all at the same time.

I'll write more later,
