When our little family first moved here we moved into a little random complex on the scottsdale border and landed the MOST fantastic neighbors you could ever imagine. It was this beautiful, caring, and loving family with servants hearts from Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands. They just amazed me with willingness to help match Mateo when I was struggling to start my business back up after a move from Illinois. We did not have family or friends and it was challenging to say the least. They just took over and offered and opened their home and many delicious meals to us. They were my first friends and some of the most loving people I have yet to meet here in Arizona.

I am so proud of Keanna- she is the eldest of 4, she is smart, funny, personable, caring, and a gentle sibling and daughter. She and her family always have a smile and a positive attitude, they bless everyone they meet. Her mama sure knows how to raise some amazing children!

Let’s all celebrate Keanna and her new adventure.  She is graduating this week with a degree in health education and health promotion. She is currently interning at the American diabetes association and she plans to move back to Saipan this summer. She is hoping to bring what she has learned back to Saipan and work for a diabetes or other health related outreach program.

Don’t forgot to congratulate her in the comments!
