It has now been about 16 months since we began this whole Peace Corps process, and after all of the forms, surveys, medical and dental examinations, emails with current volunteers, planning for financial matters, logistical planning, etc. etc., it seems that this thing is really going to happen. Last week, PC sent us a survey that asked about our preferences for a host family situation. I guess that means they are really planning on us coming!
We decided to create this blog to help us stay easily in contact with our wonderful friends and family. We have no idea if it is something that we'll be able to add to regularly, but we will update it as often as possible while in Mongolia. We hope that you will check it occasionally, and leave comments, questions and suggestions when you can.
We are really excited to share our experiences with you!

This looks good. Great picture! It will be very cool to be able to read about your adventures. John's granddaughter is now in China with Leland and Gray, and they have this great website that's following their trip.
We hope to make it to your party, but not sure yet about that weekend.
Anyway, what you're doing is so exciting! Best of luck with everything,. Anna
Hi!
We agree with Anna. The site is great. We loved the picture on the party invitation too.
We look forward to the party.
You two are planning on a book, right? Your lives already are so interesting, Mongolia is icing on the cake.
Love, Mike and GG

Looks great, Houlie and Bub. I'll be checking here frequently to see what you've been up to and keeping you up to date with things here at home. How can I miss you when you're not even gone yet? Okay, so you're off Puerto Rico. It's a test, right? See you soon.. love you bunches.. Marme

Atlanta, Seoul and Mongolia are 'round the bend...but first the Newfane Party before we send you on your mission.
Your Yankee Wordsmith, Shirl the Pearl and Rappy
We all surround ourselfs with our personal flouishings to help identify ourselevs, our homes, clothes, books, vases, the people we know etc,. but your personal flourishings can be had for little or no money, you are willing to invest in passion, perseverance, patience, a fresh perspective and a lot of love.
J and J:
Welcome to Mongolia. I bet you feel the same as the 6 new chickens that we just put in with the others. It took only a few minutes before they all got along and acceptepd one aother. I wish you smooth acceptance and flourishing findings in your new coop.
