We believe God listens when people talk to him. Dialoguing with the divine can change things and so we believe prayer is a key to success. The more people who pray, the more successful we can be.
Tonight was Maclean’s National Leader Debate. If you missed it, the #macdebate hashtag will lead you to some insightful thoughts and some useless rants. Though we lived away from Canada, we voted. Since returning to Canada, we have voted. Not because we are the ultimate Canadians or champions of electoral rights, but rather we simply… Read More Research. Vote. In that order.
As we sat down to write this Matthew asked Amber, “so, how do we say this?”. Her response was simply, “we’ve always communicated honestly”. It’s served us well and we will continue to do so. Stick with us on this – it’s a long one! As we’ve already shared, Amber and Dax will be returning… Read More An Open Letter About What Comes Next for Us
Set to arrive near the end of July, we are super excited to share that we are expecting. Just as our son was once The Passenger, this Price-family-member-to-be has been deemed the Tatter Tot. Not just for their size, but because Amber suggested the name Tate (we don’t know the sex yet). Matthew quickly shot… Read More Please Welcome the Tatter Tot

After jumping through countless hoops to get our temporary residency papers, our lawyer had some good news for us (with a catch). All 3 of us have been approved for temporary residency (karta pobytu) until June 2014, but getting our physical residency cards may prove to be a challenge. We’ve come to expect nothing less.… Read More The Last Hurdle(s)
We doubt the power of presence and we shouldn’t. Somewhere along the way, being there for someone became less about being there and more about saying the perfect phrase, buying the perfect Hallmark sentiment, or doing the perfect action. The intentions may be good, but sometimes it smacks of a second-rate substitute for being there… Read More This is Not a Hallmark Moment
We’ve learned to be cautiously optimistic when Polish office workers use words like “promise” and “guarantee”. Instead we expect flexibility. We were promised a decision about our temporary residency applications by June 15th. If by decision they meant bumping their decision date back a month and asking for more documents from us, then yes we… Read More Zobaczymy jak to będzie
We tip our hats to Norse culture for giving us the word “saga” – a long story involving dramatic events…sounds just like our journey towards obtaining temporary residency. On Monday Matthew went with a lawyer to Urząd Wojewódzki in Bydgoszcz, the state capital of Kujwasko-Pomorskie, to submit his application for Karta Pobytu (temporary residency). Last… Read More No Temporary Residency = Temporarily Unwelcome
Sticking with our Bambi vs. Godzilla analogy, it’s safe to say that Bambi is on the ropes and Godzilla is working the torso. Feeling like we’d done all we could, we met with a firm that specializes in Polish hoop jumping for foreigners (otherwise known as paperwork). Bringing in the big guns got us more… Read More Bambi’s on the Ropes
In the world of hoops to jump through, I’s to dot, T’s to cross and forms to fill-out in triplicate, Poland’s bureaucratic machine is a predator like none other. We’ve stepped into the ring as a contender and have been knocked around trying to register our car (score one for Poland), get Zameldowanie (score one… Read More Bambi vs. Godzilla
