From 2007 to 2009 we lived in Queens and worked at a bank/hedge fund in Manhattan. We realized we hated it so we quit.
In August 2009, We drove our Ford Escape to San Diego and worked building houses in Tijuana as year-long interns at Amor Ministries.
After our internship Andrew worked full-time for Amor for 2 years and Joanna finally finished her Masters in Social Work from SDSU in May 2012.
Our journey is continuing back on the East Coast...as we relocate to our Jersey roots...this time in our Toyota Matrix.

Thrifty Thursday (oops it’s Friday): Vintage Belts
Andrew bought stole these adorable belts for me from a local thrift store the donation pile at Amor. I love that they subtly add character and color to an outfit without drawing too much attention.
I think he actually got them for himself (true), but they were too small for his man waist. So he gave them to me.
They were less than $2 each…steal! Well, actually “steal” was a good word for it.
Full Disclosure: So you don’t think I’m a horrible person, most clothes that are donated to us, can’t cross the border into Mexico without an import tax so we usually donate them to the Goodwill down the street anyway.
