You may remember this phrase from tv and radio. Well life seems a little like that right now. We have had many opportunities to be tested in preparation for our new Peace Corps life. The newest one is living under another family's roof. We have been living out of a suitcase (several really), our van and our families' homes since 1/29/09. Now, we are staying in one room of our son's house with our son and daughter-in-law and their 2 little girls until our departure for Mexico March 2. It is a bit challenging to blend our ways and not upset the apple cart (or the children)!
Our house is sold, a big relief, so many of our bills will disappear in a few days making life much simpler in our absence. We are sorting out the final details of packing, paying taxes, storing and of course, studying espanol!
This picture captures a glimpse of how we might feel some days.! Note the sign behind the van.

So I guess that is NOT the van you have been living out of! I'm sure this month has been a combination of joy and stress as you have had no place to really call home. I think it is one way of making appreciate whatever space you get to eventually settle in. I'm thinking of you and wishing God's blessings for both of you.
I was so surprised to hear of your new adventure - how exciting! When I graduated from college, I signed up with the Peace Corps, but a paying job came along before a volunteer job, so I have never pursued that interest. Maybe, someday, I'll be able to. I can't imaging the time and effort it has taken to prepare for this trip. You will make a difference! I will travel with you on your blog. Good luck. God bless!
Glad to hear that you are one step (and what a big step it is!) closer to starting a new chapter together. Though you are missed here, you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
Travel safe, have fun and enjoy!
Suzi & Kevin
