MK's who are raising MK's
We are both missionary kids who grew up overseas. We met in High School at and international school. We dated long distance all through college and got married right after graduating. Our whole engagement Alaina was in Central America doing her student teaching and Loren was in South America doing an Internship. We got married and lived out of our car for the first 6 months traveling across America raising support to go back overseas as missionaries. Alaina's parents currently live in South America and Loren's parents currently live in the Central Asia. It is hard to point out where our 'home' is on the physical map. It is easier to remember events of our life by what country or city we were living at the time, not actual dates. We forget how to say certain words in English and can only think of the Spanish one. Our first son was born abroad when we were living in Ecuador as missionaries. We have a heart for internationals, cultures, new foods, flying, discipleship, and packing a suitcase. Our first major purchase when we arrived in the US was a huge world map we put right smack in the middle of our living room. We relate to saying goodbye and are comfortable with meeting new people. If we have been in the same house for more than 6 months we re-arrange the furniture. We are always missing some food from some part of the world we are not currently in. We have moved at least 21 times each so far in our lifetime, but here is the synopsis:
Loren: Born in Alamosa, Colorado, grew up in Ecuador.
Now working on his M-Div in pastoral leadership at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Alaina: Born in Bend, Oregon, grew up in Venezuela/Ecuador. Alaina disciples her sons and desires to teach them about God. She has a home business with Rodan + Fields.
Zane: Born in Quito, Ecuador. Loves to run outside, write the letter A in permanent marker on our furniture, sing, and put things on his head.
Roy Everett: Born in Texas in June of 2014. Eats, sleeps, and poops. Loves his big brother holding him.
