tracythomp - Leaving for WHERE!?!

well It is official, although I know a few who are reluctant to accept, that Adam and I will be leaving for Kyrgyzstan with the Peace Corps July 5 2007. Kyrgyzstan is a country located on the west side of China. It is a small country about the size of maybe Tennessee not too much bigger. It is a very Mountainous country. I will be a Healthy promotion specialist and adam will be working with Non governmental organizations doing buisness and community development. We have been spending our time reading about the country and culture as well as finishing some paperwork that must be sent out. Today we had a yard sale and it was a start on getting rid of some of our stuff. We have just over two weeks of work left then we travel to Nova Scotia to see The Willoughby family who i miss so much and the beautiful Meyers babies. we are then coming back to Nashville to say our goodbyes to our good friends here and pack up everything to move to Michigan. We are very much looking forward to see the Thompson's as well as the new baby Owen. we hope to relax during this month are take as much in of our friends and family as we can before we leave for 2 years. Even writing that is send chills down my spine. Who know what our lives and the lives of our family will look like in two years. It seems like all around on both sides of the family there is transition going on or soon to be happening while we are gone.
we are not sure how much we will be able to write or post while we are over in Kyrgyzstan. I know that blogs sometimes frowned upon. We will either write here or compile a list of email addresses so that we can send out mass emails.
We are so looking forward to knowing this culture, land and language. we know that we will be affect immeasurable while we are gone. Please pray for us that our preparations go smoothly. We shall be keeping in touch
peace...
