A job!
I was recently offered a position at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida. I have accepted it. It's part time--I'll only be teaching five courses (a full load is seven) at 5/7 pay. However, it's enough to get by and ideal for someone just starting out, as it will give me time to finish revising my dissertation and designing courses. We will probably leave for Florida in late July. Please keep us in your prayers!
Our Cruise
In celebration of the successful defense of my dissertation, dad and mom took us on all a cruise to the Western Carribean.
Me in front of our ship, docked at Costa Maya, Mexico.
When I think Carribean, I think Norway.
The beach at the Mayan ruins in Mexico known as Tulum. My understanding is that these are the only ruins that have are along the ocean. Tulum was an important center for trade.
I think this is a temple at Tulum.
Arlene with the cast of the broadway review.
David and some of the ladies who worked at the childcare center. He loved going there. On this day they dressed all the kids up like princes and princesses (or else David forgot to shave, I can't remember which).
Us at Shogun, the restaurant that serves almost all Chinese food, but uses a Japanese name. That said, it was delicious!
Arlene and David. They dressed the kids up like "Blue" the puppy from Blue's Clues.

Me as helsman, guiding the ship through many a peril.

Happy Easter!
Happy Easter!
David with our friend Rhoda and her daughter Samantha. Our parish had an Easter egg hunt on Palm Sunday.
Arlene and David right before Easter Mass. The church was so full that we had to sit on chairs along the back.
David, I, Father Joe, and my dad right after Easter Mass.
We stopped by Schnuck's to get rotisserie chicken. David is enjoying a free cookie.
David "manos" dad after church. This is a Filipino sign of respect you show your elders. My understanding is that it is based off of a priest giving a blessing.
Daving dying Easter Eggs.
