January - I preach my last sermon at Tianjin International Fellowship: Psalm 8. Praise, worship, and bring glory to God.
February - After a 13 year break, I return to coaching a high school girl's soccer team. Go Lady Eagles!
March - We visit Grace Noel's orphanage in Hubei Province and meet her foster mother. It's hard to believe it has been ten years.
April - We accidentally leave Rosalie's $3600 French horn in a taxi, but it's returned to us a few days later. We're thankful for the police and our Chinese friends. Why are French horns so crazy expensive?!
May - I accept a new position as a 6th-9th grade assistant principal at Evansville Christian School (ECS). God is good.
June - We leave Tianjin and move to Newburgh, Indiana. I start driving a 1997 Plymouth minivan.
July - We drive to Florida and attend a family wedding. It's great to catch up with those we haven't seen in a long time.
August - Rosalie tries a new sport, cross country, Grace Noel makes the 5th-6th grade soccer team at ECS, and Josiah Lee joins Newburgh Youth Soccer as a Red Shark.
September - Megan and I speak about our Tianjin lives to a group of Chinese at St. Paul's Lutheran Church. It's good for us to be able to connect with Chinese in the Evansville community.
October - The University of Southern Indiana (USI) hires Megan as an ESL instructor. Go Screaming Eagles!
November - I start coaching soccer players at the Metro Sports Center and decide to start playing on a team. The knees aren't the same, but I can still kick a ball.
December - Megan gets hired as an ESL instructor at Vincennes University. We owe a few people a debt of gratitude.
