The month of January went by in a springlike flash! It's hard to believe we're a third of the way through our first assignment, but I won't get all sentimental right now. Too much good stuff is happening!
We entered February with a happy arrival. Our long awaited license plates and registration made it all the way from Washington state to grace our new Jeep Wrangler, hooray!
It's like being head and shoulders over every other car, riding in this brute. Takes speed bumps like they're kid stuff. My husband is practically giddy behind the wheel, lol.
Even cooler than our car, Patrick and I finally completed and faxed our applications (read two dozen pieces of paper) to Mercy Ships last week - and they wrote us back! A woman in their volunteer organizer department replied with a very kind email asking for copies of our passports and our nursing diplomas, which we will shoot back to her real soon. It was almost startling how quickly we were contacted. Hopefully we'll know just as quickly whether they can use us. Prayers please!
And yesterday, my sister and her man drove all the way up from D.C. to spend the weekend with us! We've been giving them the grand tour, and of course, introduced them to their niece ;)
It's such a treat to have people that really know us come to play! Makes it feel like we aren't that far from home after all :)
