I'm so excited!!!

We are both so very excited. Every morning as Anna wakes up the first words out of her mouth are, "Are we going to the Philippines today?" Sadly I reply, "no, not today...but in a few more days." We determined last night it was 5 more sleeps. So, today it's only 4 more sleeps to go!!

This week is busy as I prepare to go. I'm finishing my assignment for work with the client I've been working with since January. I'm sad to leave this assignment, but I have several good friends I have made! I know I'll be seeing at least some of them for years to come.
I am also going to school full time online. I finish up my first block of classes this week, so that means I have FINAL projects due. They are both due Sunday night, but I will turn them in before that since we'll be boarding a place Sunday night!

I'm also in the process of getting things together to take. This time is different in some ways because I have friends out there. I am stocking up on gifts I want to take. For example, chocolate, girlie smelly lotions, shampoos, Starbucks coffee...and the list continues. :-) Oh, and don't forget the shopping for clothes for both me and Anna. It's HOT there now and my dark jeans and long sleeve shirts will not do! So much to do!

Well, continue to keep us in your prayers. I'd love to hear from you all. I'll keep you posted as long as I know people are checking. :-)

May God bless you richly!

We begin again!

Anna and I will be traveling to the Philippines yet again! :-) We leave May 5th and will be returning on May 21st. This is not anywhere near the length of time I desire to stay, but I feel blessed for anytime we can get!
We will primarily be in the Manila area. We have been invited to stay with very dear friends of ours. What an honor and privilege this is!
We will be taking our laptop this time, so the posting will be more frequent, I promise.

I am asking for prayer while we're gone and also during this week as we prepare to depart.
Please feel free to email or comment! We'd love to hear from you.

Until tomorrow!
