New Life

Spring is in full force here in Phoenix. New life all around... Easter in a few days... Flowers blooming... Birds singing... Airplanes leaving to Ethiopia...

... with us on them!

We leave THIS coming Monday, April 5th at 9:30 a.m.! As in "six days from now". Here are a few understatements: Insane. Crazy. Short notice. Breathtaking (literally).

After we got "the call", we ran around in circles in the living room trying to figure out our next step. Fernando said "pancakes"... which is a great next step, no matter the situation. We loaded up and went to IHOP where we made giant "to do" lists while eating breakfast.

It's already been a whirlwind... but we could not be more excited. Flights are booked, paperwork is prepared, and the massive shopping/packing project begins tonight.

Wheeee!!
