Jason & Nicole
I'm inspired to write again - just ONE day after my last post! Thanks Noel for your comments, and for our friends excitement to find us in the blog-o-sphere.
Since its just been one day, I don't have any earth shattering news to blog about. We did have a great night last night though with our team. Great food, fellowship and fun. We played a game called Whoonu, by Cranium. You ought to play it some time with friends or family - you'll enjoy it, I'm sure.
We also made some major progress in working on our vision and mission statement. It is daunting but exciting.
I'm glad it is Saturday. It is a work day for me...but the last one of the week. I am looking forward to some R&R over the next 2 days.
By the way in my previous post, I meant to say 'I am NOW waiting for an invitation to the next Oath ceremony'. I need to figure out how to edit....

Reality Check
Jason & Nicole
This morning I was reading our friends, Rusty and Laura Campbell's blog. Lo and behold they have a link to our website! Talk about a reality check - now it is time to get serious with this 'blog thing'. It is undeniably a great way to stay in touch with family and friends. I will need to work on learning how to post pictures.
Yesterday was Australia Day! Happy Australia Day to our fellow Aussies, and to lovers of Oz. We plan to celebrate more tonight with our team mates.
Speaking of our team - the Butts family have decided to pursue ministry prospects in the Unites States, rather than foreign missions. We are sorry to lose them, but we do trust God's provision for them, and our team.
Our next step in the team formation process is a series of psychological tests. These are costly and time consuming but we see their benefit and are committed to preparing in 'whole' for this mission. We covet your prayers.
Other news is that a couple of weeks ago, I had my interview and US Government and History tests to become a naturalized US Citizen. It all went well and I am not waiting on an invitation to the next Oath Ceremony in Memphis.
Stay Tuned!

Its been a while...
Jason & Nicole
We're not doing so well in keeping up with this blog. It has been more than six months. We've been to Australia and back since we last posted. We went with Shawn, Kendra, Darian (11) and Brenna (7) Griffith. This was a special trip to introduce the Griffiths to Australia since we were considering moving there. Since returning to Memphis - we spent time in prayer and have officially decided to move to Australia and be involved in a mission to further spread the Gospel there. Since making this decision we have also been blessed with another family - Rex, Laura and Caryn (09 months) Butts who will be a part of this team effort. We'll keep you posted!

We Enter the World of Blog
We've talked about starting a blog for a while. Lots of our friends blog.... It is a neat way to keep in touch. So - here we are. Be patient with us as we learn how to blog. Today we purchased a new digital camera - our Fuji Finepix failed us about 3 months ago. After figuring out our taxes last week - we decided that it was time to get a new 'diji'. We hope to post pictures soon.
This weekend we enjoyed a night on the town. We spent Sunday afternoon in downtown Memphis - taking in the Peabody Place, riding the trolley on the Riverfront loop right around Sunset - beautiful, and had a great meal of Thai Food. We spent the night at the Wyndham Hotel (perks of being a travel agent...some freebies every now and then!). Our room had a view of the city directly in front of us, and 201 Poplar - the city jail - to the left. :-)
It was fun to 'get away' and chill out together.
