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.

3rd Annual Amor Chili Cookoff
We all spread the crockpots around the office as they cook for the morning, we sample them all in dixie cups, and then the experts deliberate.
Mine is the crockpot in the top right and….it was officially awarded the silver medal!
NBD.
I made Grandma Lynn/Aunt Jodi/mom’s chili recipe but, no offense guys, I took some liberties. The official recipe was a little…midwestern…which isn’t bad it just means Mexicans might use the word dulce instead of picante.
So, I cut back on the bbq sauce, left out he brown sugar, added an entire can of chipotle peppers, and was pretty liberal with my favorite hotsauce in my collection, Salsa Huichol.
I decided on an awesome name too - Tierra de Diez Mil Lagos de Fuego (Land of Ten Thousand Lakes of Fire).
It was pretty good if I do say so myself.
