For mine and Jeff's 10th anniversary we have been planning a trip to Vancouver Canada for a year and a half. The whole idea came up when we were at a Passion Conference in Jan. 2007. The Passion staff announced they would be doing a world tour in '08. Jeff and I talked it over and decided we wanted to volunteer at one of the Passion World Tour sites to celebrate. After talking with Leigh, one of my college roommates (her husband is on the Passion board), we found out that they were going to be in charge of the Vancouver site, so we decided to help out there. That summer of 2007 some of our friends (and another college roommate)moved to Seattle to plant a church. So we decided we would fly into Seattle, stay with Tim and Amy and then drive up to Vancouver, to volunteer for Passion. This summer Jeff talked with Marc, Leigh's husband, and Marc asked Jeff if he would be willing to be in charge of all volunteers. Jeff was excited, b/c he loves this kind of thing. In the end, Jeff ended up being in charge of volunteers and I helped with hospitality. We have no actual pics of the event--it was so busy, I never even got out my camera--and I never even got to get a pic with my friends:( BUT we did get some great pics of how beautiful our trip was. Thanks to all of the family members who gave us money last Christmas to make this possible--It was a trip of a lifetime!!!

Love the pictures! I remember some of those scenes. Dave and I took a picture on that same walkway in Stanley park. Would love to go back soon.
