Happy 5 years!

Today marks five years since I started this blog.  Here is the first post that I made five years ago right before we left for Springfield to go to school of missions.  I thought that it was cool that we are back here five years later.

We've had a great time so far and are getting to see a lot of friends that we haven't seen in five years.


Here we are loaded down and ready to go.

Here's our awesome dorm room.  Yes, I learned my lesson and brought my own coffee pot this time.

We were able to eat with the Cartledges and the Browns.  The Cartledges were the language school directors when we were in Costa Rica and we spent a year in the same class with the Browns.  It was great catching up with them.

And this picture is a little blurry because they were moving, but Matt (a missionary from Germany) is teaching Megan how to skip.  We really have a lot of fun hanging out in the halls of the dorm.  The guy in the orange shirt is another friend of ours from Uruguay, Steve McCarthy.  It's like one big family reunion, but there's schooling involved.

We are very thankful that our kids have this time to interact with other missionary kids.  They are having a blast.  They are leaving this afternoon to go to a retreat center and will not be back until Thursday and they can not take any electronics with them.  Praying that God does great things in their lives.
