Travel Dog Lives!!!

For those of you hoping to follow our move and new life in Kosovo in excruciating detail...you're in luck, we've brought the blog back to life. Well, for the next little bit let's just consider it on life support as things are a bit crazy around here. There will be some inevitable overlap between this and our facebook posts, but we'll try to breathe a bit more life into things on the blog. Plus, we've got some dear friends and family that aren't facebook'ers so this will satisfy their curiosity.

Just as a quick update on the major goings-on since our last post...
*Babies: We had 2 of them. Mandy and Brian had another baby (Logan). Janel and Matthew had James. Chris and Rosie had Nate. Jennie and Gene had Julie. Brandon and Elizabeth had Blaise. There were a lot of babies, so apologies if I left yours out!!! That was just right off the top of my head and I'm sure yours is the cutest.
*Weddings: Geoff and Stacy; Andy and Brittany
*Jobs: Mike took a job as a Foreign Service Officer with USAID, hence the upcoming 2 years in K'vo. (Yep, that's how I have decided to shorten Kosovo to make it seem more interesting for potential visitors. Is it working?)
I changed jobs and then pseudo-retired to get ready for K'vo (is it growing on you yet?)

A bunch of other great stuff happened, but after the two kids, who can remember any of it...

We'll be focusing in on last minute shopping and pack out until we move into our temporary housing on 8/30. After that I'll just be chilling downtown at the Newseum Residences trying to stay busy with the kids until we take off on September 8th.
