Dallas and Lauren

Dallas and Lauren are married, as of February 28, in Lawrence KS. Right after that they, along with Wes and Tiff, left on a two-and-a-half year (approx.) sail around the world. It's going well, though they've had numerous repairs to do along the way.

Dallas is a freelance and contract electrical engineer and Lauren completed her doctorate in child psychology. They are putting their careers on hold for this huge undertaking. We will be thinking and praying about them all!!!! He remains a huge Chicago Cubs fan, though on this world tour they may need to develop a passion for soccer, LOL! Here is a link to their Web site and blog where we will all be able to keep up with their adventures (Pura Vida).

The kids are in the Pacific Ocean getting ready to sail for New Zealand where Dallas, Lauren and Wes plan to winter during the possible monsoon season with unpredictable trade winds. Dallas is going to do some work for the CA company he worked for when they lived there, and Lauren may be able to get a counseling job.
