Preparations for Jordan

On May 19th we got life-changing news, and NO we are not pregnant!  After waiting patiently for what seemed like an agonizingly looong time, we were told of our acceptance to the United Youth Corp Jordan Project.  Jordan Project...as in moving half-way around the world, trying to learn Arabic, and convincing our friends and family that we aren't crazy.  Accordingly, we are now trying to visit as many friends and family members as possible before we leave.

We were very surprised that we had been chosen for this great opportunity, even overwhelmed at times, and have been preparing ever since.  It's amazing how many details need to be addressed before leaving the country for a year - everything from finding Auto insurance to studying Zionism!  Finally, we are almost done with the preparations.  All that's left is orientation and final packing.  We'll keep you posted...
