Hello all. Welcome to those who are visiting for the first time. You can comment below without needing to register or anything. We would love to hear from you. Words of encouragement and prayer are always welcome.
A major prayer request has come up since I last posted, and it also was answered earlier this evening! For those of you who do not know, Brandy (my beautiful green Chrystler Town & Country) went home to be with the car gods a week and a half ago. Thus making our transportation situation very scary and hectic and until four hours ago we had no idea whatsoever how were were going to make PFO. However, the Lord is awesome. We announced this prayer request in church this evening and as soon as we sat down Ray Townsend leaned over to me and said (paraphrase), “We have a car and since we’re going to Vietnam to pick up our newly adopted child the exact same dates that you are going to PFO, we would be willing to let you use our car.” So… yeah… God is awesome.
Our current huge prayer request is that the Visa process will work in time.
Here are some pictures from the wedding. Keep in mind these are informal pictures from a friend of Mom and Dad Anzalone, so they are not professional or exhaustive. We still haven’t received the real ones yet. Hopefully when we do, we’ll post them online somewhere and give you a list of links.

Trust me, more pictures are coming. We will be posting pics of my parents and the groomsmen too. For now, enjoy these

Here’s an update on the stuff that we really need off of the registry:
SHEETS!!!!! We desperately need sheets… we haven’t gotten any yet, and they are very hard to come by in Korea! If you want to give us something we really need, sheets are the priority, BUT (and this is VERY important) make sure that they are 15 Inch Deep sheets… We cannot use them if they are less! Full size sheet sets are desireable… please do not get us Kings and Queens…
If you follow the registry, you should be in good shape… However, keep in mind that the colors and patterns and such aren’t that big of a deal. What is really important is the 15 inch depth.
Another thing we could use is bathroom stuff. As of right now we have all the towels we need, so that’s good (thanks everyone! :)), but we still need things like soap dishes/dispensers, etc…
Another thing that we did not put on our registry but would be immensly helpful is voltage adapters. We don’t know where to get them. The school is going to proved some for us, but it would still be nice if we take some with us, so if you can find them, we will love you forever. Unfortunately I don’t know exactly what you’re looking for (ie I don’t know how their plugs operate). I’m fairly confident it is 220, but I’m not sure what the plug actually looks like.
Thanks again everyone
PS. Mandie’s big wishful thinking item on the list is the quilt. She knows it’s pricey and not very realistic, but oh well!

Hello friends,
Since Mandie and I are going to be moving to Korea in July, we will, regretably, not be able to keep all of the wonderful gifts that we are going to be given at our showers and the wedding. Could you help us out by making sure to include a gift receipt with you purchase. If you plan on giving us something large, please keep in mind that we may need to take it back to the store and use the cash to buy it again once we get to Korea (especially if it is an appliance of some sort). I know it is not kosher to show the price of the gift, but most stores do not print the price on a gift receipt. It would help us out immensly if you would do this for us. Thank you
PS - We are registered at Target and Bed Bath and Beyond. If your gift is from somewhere else, it would help if we know that too
