Cats!!

So... we have been going crazy the last couple of weeks pulling together our resumes, writing our aspiration statements and trying to assemble things for our big move. We have to be out of our house by the end of August, which means we will be floating around, no doubt staying at houses of friends and family, until our departure at the end of September. This just adds another layer of preparation and packing that we need to account for.

Oh yeah and then there are our CATS!!! We have 2 wonderful cats and... luckily for us Laurie's mother has agreed to take them while we are away in Mozambique for 27 months. The only problem is that she lives and Florida and we live in Ohio. Cats are not easy animals to transport a couple of miles to visit the vet. How are we going to get them to Florida????

Boa tarde!

We signed up for 10 sessions with a Portuguese tutor which started this evening and it actually was a ton of fun!!! She was very good at combining the language training with cultural knowledge, and she was also quite intelligent and a very cool girl! I really needed this because I have felt like my head was going to explode this past week with trying to get a grasp on the thousand things we need to do before we go. The enjoyment I got from the language training reminded me what all the craziness is for, and how excited I am to be challenging myself in new ways.
