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: Beer Shirts
Andrew got two of these Sierra Nevada shirts for $1 each. They seem to be brand new as they are in excellent condition. Andrew loves a good beer, Sierra Nevada included, so it made him double happy.
During that same visit I got “throw away half marathon sweats” for $7 total. Since it would be dark and 50 degrees at the start of the race, I bought cheap sweats that I could toss when it started. This is pretty common and most races, including this one, donate the throw aways to local thrift stores. I don’t have a picture, but let’s just say they kept me perfectly warm, but I was glad to take them off and never see them again. You know what’s coincidental? The sweatshirt I wore read, “Cute Girls Recycle”…what did I do with that sweatshirt? I recycled it! Woop!
