Vacation in Colorado

How about a few pictures from our vacation in Colorado? Here are a few of my favorites…

The morning the rockslide woke us up. You can still see the dust.

This one might be my favorite.

Ellen, without shower.

State of Colorado, call Kelly for promotional photography...

My boys.

15 Years Later

When I was living in Bosnia, in the early part of this decade, and I was a new blogger, I regularly posted on the anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre. 6, 7, 8 years later. I may have written about the 10 year anniversary while I was in grad school. I can’t believe that it’s been 15 years now, since July 11, 1995, when 8000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were killed and tens of thousands of internally displaced refugees were created by the Bosnian Serb army under the direction of military leader Ratko Mladić and Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadžić. While Karadžić was apprehended in July of 2008, Mladić is still at large, 15 years later. Unbelievable. Can you imagine how the people of Srebrenica must feel, 15 years later, to not have justice for their family members who were murdered?

This anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre, pray for justice to prevail – for Ratko Mladić to be caught brought to trial.

Stranger in a Strange Land is resurrected!

I know. It’s been a while. Unfortunately, my previous domain (ellensjourney.org) is no more, as the server it was on had the plug pulled on it a few months ago. I understand that my archives still exist (oh, they’d better still exist!), I just need to find the time to bug the owner (hi, Brian!) of the defunct server to rescue them for me so I can import that 7 year record of my blog’s existence.

I don’t know yet how I’m going to let all my previous readers know that Stranger in a Strange Land has been resurrected here on kellyandellen.org but hopefully some strategic Facebook messaging and perhaps some kind links from friends would help out in that regard.

Anyway, it’s not like I haven’t been blogging elsewhere these days… Hmm, let’s see.

Oh, and of course: Twitter.

To get things started again, here is the newly re-created “About Me” page:

From 2001-2004, my strange land was Bosnia and Herzegovina, as a student minister, ESL teacher and coffee-drinker.

From 2005-2007, I navigated and conquered the strange land of graduate school in library science at UNC in Chapel Hill, NC.

From 2007 on, I have been living in the strange land of Texas, working as E-Learning Librarian at Baylor University in Waco.

On May 23, 2009, I began a new adventure in the strange land of marriage as wife to Kelly, stepmom to Jack and Joey and (as of November 2010) homeowner.
