We got to see so many of our friends and family last weekend! Saturday’s open house went so well. People started coming around 2 and just kept coming by until 8! Sunday was great as well, the youth at the church let us take the spotlight after lunch. Bryan got up and gave a basic overview of the Peace Corps and what we will be doing as volunteers.
We have received so much support in such a variety of ways, whether that support be a show of interest, a pat on the back, a card, gift, or prayer we would like to thank everyone who has supported us. We are very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.
We have been spending the last few days relaxing with our families which has been very nice. Last week the weather went up into the low 70s so we went to the zoo! Yesterday we got to see it snow beautiful large flakes! It was wonderful to see another snow, I doubt we will be seeing snow in Africa, however we will not miss Oklahoma’s crazy weather extremes, that is for sure!
We are not packed yet and less than 10 days before we leave. We are still getting a few things off our list and taking care of the basic stuff like change of address and canceling our cell phones... that type of stuff. We are getting very excited!

Come One Come All!
We are moved... finally. We still have a few boxes to go through but we are out of Stillwater. I miss all my friends there already. We are however getting ready for a weekend of fabulous fun fellowship time with friends!
So here it is the final farewell party update:
What: Open House (Come and go as you please)
When: Saturday February 10, 1:30-7:30pm
What: Youth Fundraiser Lunch. (Not a pot luck lunch as posted before. The lunch is provided by the Youth group with a free will offering as a fundraiser) We will just happen to be there too, so come see us if you can!
When: Sunday, February 11, after the Sunday service
Where: Immanuel Lutheran Church
We are still working on our packing lists to Malawi. It just seems that there is so much on the list. Every time I look at my bags they seem to be smaller than the time before... I am still working making my bags look larger, that would be nice. Once we have a good list we will post it for all to see and laugh at.
