First of all, you should know what you are reading! Jason and Larissa got married on January 1st, 2006. Jason's father and step-mother were generous enough to donate a large part of their frequent flyer mile fund to get us both around the world tickets for our honeymoon! We have about 4 months to go around the world. Hence the name of this blog.
Well, you are reading this blog either because 1) you recieved an email from Jason and Larissa telling you to check out their new blog, 2) you recieved an email from someone who thought you would be interested in our blog, 3) you followed this link from Larissa's blog Looking Glass Self or 4) you found this blog on blogspot.com. At any rate, we are glad you came!
Jason and I created this blog for several reasons: 1) to keep in touch with friends and family and to share our experiences with them, 2) to show off our savvy camera skills with great pictures from around the world, and 3) to document our journey for future remembrances!

Dear Jason & Larissa, I love your blog site! It is amazing that in today's technology we can keep up with each other so easily. Although, I'm sure that at times it will be a challenge for you to find a place where you will be able to get to the Internet easily. I will write more later, but I just came across this and thought you would enjoy it, too:
Subject: God's Cake
Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why did God have to do this to me?" Here is a wonderful explanation!
A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going
wrong, she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her
and her best friend is moving away.
Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she
would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake."
"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers. "Yuck" says her daughter.
"How about a couple raw eggs?" "Gross, Mom!"
"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?" "Mom, those are all yucky!"
To which the mother replies:
"Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!
God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!
God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the
universe, and He chose your heart.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.
Dear Hamel--Very interesting--We will read each episode in full!!

Thanks for remembering us, and we will read each episode with intense interest.
Love,.
Grandpa and Esther Hamel
G-ma's story is true. It was about me and it was the summer of 1978. Once I was out of the relationship long enough, I could easily see that the break up was a real blessing. My friends moved to Battleground, WA and a few months later I went to visit them. I wound up staying there, getting a job and making it my new home. That's how I happened to be in Portland when I met the father of my two beautiful children, one of whom recently married Jason Hamel! Now you know the rest of the story... Oh ya, and I found out that Algebra isn't something you really need to know to get through life. :) (Sorry Rahi)
