The Real Deal Holyfield


So here we are…Guatemala…married…crazy…amazing.  We got married March 5th in Managua, Nicaragua and celebrated with friends and family from all over the world!  The wedding was amazing and we were able to spend time the week before the wedding with family and friends doing touristy stuff…it was awesome!  After the wedding, thanks to some very special friends of ours, we were able to have our honeymoon in Cancun, Mexico.  It was amazing to just relax and enjoy time to do absolutely nothing!

We arrived in Guatemala 1 week ago and barely had any time until we jumped right into things.  We are both going to be working together to coordinate, host and facilitate the teams that come from the States to work.  Along with taking care of the teams I will continue with my previous responsibilities of taking care of the Lemonade House and all that goes into it (finances, bills, toilet paper, etc.)

Now that we are here you can expect to hear more from us more consistently!  We still need a lot of help with our financial support and prayers as we begin this new phase of our lives!

Aqui estamos!...en Guatemala...casados...es increíble.  Nos casamos el 5 de marzo en Managua, Nicaragua y celebramos con nuestra familia y amigos de todas partes del mundo!  La boda fue maravillosa y tuvimos la oportunidad de pasar una semana antes de la boda con nuestra familia y amigos haciendo actividades turísticas en Nicaragua, fue increíble!  Despues de la boda, gracias a unos amigos muy especiales pasamos nuestra luna de miel en Cancun, Mexico.  Fue muy bueno sentirnos relajados y disfrutar el tiempo haciendo absolutamente nada!

Llegamos a Guatemala hace una semana y no paso mucho tiempo cuando ya empezamos a hacer muchas cosas.  Ambos estaremos trabajando juntos para coordinar, acoger y facilitar el trabajo que hacen los grupos que vienen de los Estados Unidos.  Ademas de seguir con mis responsabilidades anteriores como tener al cuidado la casa de Lemonade International y todo lo que implica (finanzas, deudas, papel higienico...etc.)

Ahora que estamos aqui, podrán escuchar de nosotros constantemente.  Aun necesitamos mucha ayuda y soporte financiero asi como de sus oraciones en lo que empezamos esta nueva etapa de nuestras vidas!

Getting Back and Moving Forward

So after spending 3 weeks together in the States, Eva and I have returned to our respective countries (for now), Eva to Nicaragua and me to Guatemala.  We are taking care of the final details to get married in less than 2 months.  I have been busy moving our intern/team house to another location and also looking for a place for Eva and I to live immediately after the wedding.  We are really excited for everything to work out and hopefully it all does.  Amazing friends of ours have helped us to be able to have a great honeymoon directly after the wedding, something that we have been scared we weren't going to be able to afford!  Now, if only this new house I'm in had internet....

Tryin This Out

So this is going to be the blog of me and my wife-to-be Eva so that it is easier for friends and family to keep up with what and where in the world our work together is taking us while giving people the opportunity to help support us in the process.  I'm not into blogs at all so lets see how this goes.
