Something new

As this new adventure starts, I thought I would try to keep up better with everyone by starting a blog. I'm not sure how this will work and how often I will be able to to update, but I figure it is worth a short. Everyone else seems to be doing it, so perhaps it is time I got on the bandwagon!

I'm currently in NY for PFO (pre-field orientation). It has been a great week getting to know so many wonderful people that will be all over the world. I have especially enjoyed getting to know the team going to Vienna Christian School.

Z is loving her new "chair"- no more laying around in the buggy for this little one. {unless of course she's napping} She loves looking around and taking it all in.
