A little introduction

Welcome to our first attempt at blogging - Jeremy was smart enough to figure out how to set it up. I am home enough to try to write :) So, this is where we will keep you fairly updated about our adventures in Colorado while we serve with Mennonite Voluntary Service (MVS) (-learn more about MVS at http://www.mennonitemission.net/). More detail will come about our actual positions.

Here is a brief timeline ....
August 4 - leave Columbus; visit with the Yohs in Smithville and Wooster
August 5 - visit with the Edigers in Dalton
August 6 - head to Michigan for orientation (5 days)
August 10 - head out to Colorado via Kansas and Oklahoma to visit Erin's extended family
August 15ish - arrive in Colorado and begin adjusting

An update on some things....
Joys...
1. Our house officially has a renter for the time we are gone - those worried we will never return to Columbus ... we will at least have to return long enough to extend the lease :)

2. Our dog, Mily, has a home with a family with two young kids and a fenced yard - she will go there tomorrow... we are very sad, and very happy at the same time


Concerns...
1. my sisters-in-law who are both probably going to have their babies today - I am headed there shortly
2. packing our whole house in the next 11 days and fitting it into the storage unit

Check back tomorrow - I might have more to say :) In the meantime, have a great Tuesday!
