Where have we been?

Okay, it's been a while since we've gotten online to post a new blog entry. It's happened to us again, life has gotten too busy! So, here's a little about what has been filling out time...

--We've been taking a Saturday morning class for 6 weeks now and have 10 more left to go. The class is great, but there is a lot of homework. We keep trying to carve out blocks of time to sit down and work through the weekly assignments.
--More medical fun for Annie! Annie recently saw the podiatrist. He had to give her a steriod shot into the ball of her foot to settle some inflamation. While there the doctor also noticed a fungal infection in Annie's toenail and decided to remove the infected nail. We both just got our dental insurance activated and went to see the dentist. Annie found out that sometime in the past two years she has started grinding her teeth and now has a number of cavities. When she went to get the first few filled she had a very bad experience. After three shots of novicane she could still feel the drill. Through all of this Annie has quickly realized why torture often affects the teeth and toes... it really hurts!
--Brian has been teaching on Sunday mornings to fill in while his boss has been out of town. He has really enjoyed it, but it's kept him quite busy.
--We've begun the paperwork necessary to move ourselves to Asia for work. And there is a lot of paperwork! We are taking it in small chunks one evening at a time. We can only trust in Father that it will all come together in His ways and His timing.
--In the midst of all our busy-ness we've also been able to have a little fun with friends and escape for the occasional cheeseburger and shake at the 50's Cafe. If you haven't heard from us in a while, please forgive us. We hope to have another newsletter going out in May. By that time we should have our assignement for where we'll be placed to teach in Asia. We can't wait!
