We leave in two days!!


Well, this is our first time to blog so we'll try our best. Since we are moving to a country in the Pacific Rim for five months we thought it would be good to have this blog to keep our friends and family updated on how things are going there. Plus we know that the grandparents especially will want to see pictures of Maelyn (that's her in the pig tails.)

We can't wait to get there and packing is underway! Maelyn is excited about her ride on the big airplane and is happy as long as "B" is there (her teddy bear). I'm sure you'll hear more about "B" in the coming posts.

Our plans right now are to leave Friday, arrive at our destination in the capital on Saturday and be there for about 3 weeks for language and culture study. A new language...yikes! Then we'll move to a new town where Kim will teach English and Jeff will be working in Community Development. Maelyn of course is planning on riding Motor Cycles and eating noodles and hoping our new country has lots of gum!

Well that's it for now... we'll keep you posted.
