Exciting news:non-house related

Ever since the first day I met Brent I shared with him about my experiences when I taught down in Jamaica back in college. i truly believe that there was a piece of my heart that got left back there. I have always told Brent I would love to go back, but it has always been nothing more than a dream. However, my dear friend Jen (maid of honor) had an opportunity 2 years ago to go down to Jamaica through an organization that does dental work for kids down there. She said that there was another aspect of the trip that included work in the schools. Last year she got to go on this trip. She of course had the time of her life and the 2 of us always joked about how cool it would be if Brent and I went. Well, we have been praying about it and talking about it tons and have made the decision to do it! So Brent and I will be heading to Ocho Rios, Jamaica Nov. 7-14, 2009!!!!!!! We will be working with SuperKids, Great Shape! Inc. We will be working in a school teaching reading, computer skills, art, music and sports. Of course I will be mostly teaching reading and Zepper will be mostly doing sports and maybe some music! We are ultra excited and are very grateful for this opportunity. Of course there are a lot of unknowns at this time but we came to realize that the timing will never be "perfect" but this is pretty darn close to it....the house will be done (God willing!!!), I am able to get the time off of work, no kids yet (and even if I did get pregnant sometime soon I would be less than 5 months along), and our finances are finally in a pretty ok spot. We will of course be asking for continual prayer support and as the time gets closer will ask you to pray about whether or not you too can financially help out. Right now, we just wanted to share the exciting news!

I'm already getting relaxed just thinking about it!
